Projects
A list of current and complete project related to Autonomic Communication:
Current Projects
- Integrated Project BIOlogically-inspired autonomic NETworks and Services (BIONETS)
- Biologically-inspired approach (from nature and society) to localised autonomic communication services without central control
Allowing high-level services to evolve spontaneously
- Integrated Project Autonomic Network Architectures(ANA)
- Novel network architecture (beyond IP) enabling flexible and autonomic formation of network nodes according to working, economic and social needs. Focused on adaptation and reorganization of the network.
Integrated Project An innovative Paradigm for Autonomic Opportunistic Communication (Haggle)- Cross-layer network architecture exploiting intermittent connectivity
Supporting opportunistic networking paradigm (delivery of messages based on store and forward exploiting situated information).
Integrated Project Componentware for Autonomic, Situation-aware Communications and Dynamically Adaptable Services (CASCADAS)- The project is set to demonstrate an innovative architectural vision based on self-organized distributed components for the provisioning of autonomic and situation-aware communication services.
Completed Projects
- Autonomic Communication: Coordination Action (ACCA), IST-6475
- ACCA coordinates and integrates within harmonised R&D programme targeting new ACCA project link and logoproactive initiative within FET major studies in the area of self-organisation (self-management, self-healing, self-awareness, etc.) in application to a network element's autonomic behaviour exposed by innovative (cross-layer optimised, context-aware, and securely programmable) protocol stack in its interaction with numerous often-dynamic network communities.
Anticipating Future and Emerging Information Society Technologies BEYOND-THE-HORIZON (B-T-H) Coordination Action, IST-6622- The main aims of BEYOND-THE-HORIZON are to: identify advanced strategic areas and grand science and technology challenges related to ICT; discuss the scientific, commercial and social importance of these challenges; draw basic research directions in ICT and related disciplines for addressing the above challenges; design roadmaps for making advances in these areas with a timeframe of fifteen years; identify new frontiers for ICT basic research, and boundaries between “pure ICT†research and other disciplines; identify the potential for cross-fertilization of research in disciplines involved in these areas; establish communication and cooperation mechanisms within and beyond Europe in order to facilitate and support the formation and functioning of a related scientific community during the project lifecycle in a field characterised by rapid and continuous evolution.
Integrated Project Creation and Deployment of End-User Services in Premium IPNetworks (CADENUS) IST-1999-11017- The primary goal of the project was to develop, implement, validate and demonstrate a framework for the configuration and provisioning of end-user services with QoS guarantees in Premium IP networks (eg. for voice over IP). Sub-objectives are: To investigate the system-related architectures for implementing Premium IP network transport services to deliver end-user services with QoS. To specify and realise a framework for end-user services having a range of call features and with QoS guarantees. To develop a system implementing the framework which enables the efficient delivery of services by new enterprises and traditional operators. To trial and demonstrate end-user services with QoS guarantees via this framework. To disseminate the results in standards bodies and to the industry in general.
