Outline 1. 1. Experimentation 2. What is FIRE? 3. 2. FIRE concept implemetation and vision 4. - How FIRE puts this in practice 5. 3. IoT in the concept of FIRE 6. - An example: IoT and SmartCities
What is FIRE all about? An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump 1768 oil-on-canvas painting by Joseph Wright of Derby
From Alchemy to Chemistry Robert Boyle 1627-1691
Experimental sciences VALIDATION Validate a theory through experimentation EXPLORATION Derive a theory from experiments
The Internet and the WWW: a successful experiment (in less than 10000 days) 1974 TCP/IP Vinton G. Cerf, Robert E. Kahn, A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication, IEEE Transactions on Communications, Vol. 22, No. 5, May 1974 pp. 637-648 1981 IBM-PC 1989 www 1998 1995 Netscape
Future Internet Research and Experimentation a.k.a. FIRE Accelerate development and adoption of Future Internet technologies Explore future needs of network & computing infrastructures, devices and service platforms Experimentation and validation by users in real application contexts Promoting societal, economic and business innovation An internet of services and things supported by advanced infrastructures 7
Future Internet is part of LEIT - ICT

FIRE spiral concept to support innovation Supporting research and innovation on new network and service architectures Through large scale experimentation, predict behavior and assess non-technical impact FIRE Experimental Facility FIRE Research Research requirements validation Large Scale Experiment User Communities Test bed 1 Test bed 2 Test bed 3 Exp2 Test bed 1 Test bed 4 Test bed 2 Test bed 3 Test bed 4 Exp Exp Test bed 5 Test bed 6 1 4 Exp Test bed 7 3 Test bed 8 Test bed 6 Test bed 7 Federated Service Testbeds bed 8 Test bed 5 Exp5 Test bed 9 Federated Network Testbeds
FIRE Facilities Access How can you participate? Open Calls launched by the Facility Projects Who can participate? Rules? Budget? How? IPR rules? One single entity can participate: Research Institutes Universities SMEs Industry Evaluation as in EC calls Short proposal Light evaluation Roughly 1 Call per year per facility Max 200K /project Submit proposal if selected in consortium as new partner, or subcontractor for small experiments To be negotiated with Facility Provider IPRs can be protected
FIRE priorities in H2020 Build a Strategic Experimental Infrastructure (FIRE+) Experimentation-as-a-Service (EaaS) and Virtual Experimentation Provide More innovation, innovators, sustainability, EIT ICT Labs Controlled and replicable conditions for experiments Real-world prototyping and experimenting environments Reap benefits from similar initiatives around the world
Not to forget: IoT is an enabler Consider: - traditional technology push vs. technology pull - the impact of networking (connecting the things) - the role of testers and end-users
An example: a smart city is a connected city
Let's check the analogy: Intelligent person smart city Intelligent Person Smart City Hi IQ? CO2 emissions reduced? Academic titles? Energy consumption reduction?
Let's check the analogy: Intelligent person smart city Intelligent Person Smart City Brain/Neurons Nervous system Sensorial system Actuator system Social interactions City Control/Data centre City Network City IoT City Services City federation
So what makes a city smart? Networking IoT is the essential prerequisite for: "city awareness" NB: SmartCities is an IoT example networking IoT potential can be found in many other areas
