SESERV co-organizes two sessions at the FIA Aalborg:
Both sessions unfortunately run in parallel on May 10, 2012 from 11.30 to 13.30 h. So you will have to decide for either, we are afraid. Whatever your choice is going to be, you can expect interesting debate. Should you opt for session 1.2, you are going to learn about different approaches to Future Internet experimentation platforms in the EU and the US. Hence the full title of the session: “EU and US Approaches for Future Internet: FIRE / GENI and FI PPP / IGNITE. Different complementary perspectives, technical challenges and business models.”

Format of the session

The session will be organized in three main parts:
  • EU and US presentations on Future Internet programmes perspectives.
  • Panel discussion and Q/As with audience.
  • Key take away and next steps.

Problem Statement and Objectives of the session

The Future Internet is currently addressed by several large R&D programmes in the different regions and related countries. This session is focusing on the EU and US perspectives, analyzing the differences and complementarities in approaches, business, challenges and involved stakeholders.

Target audience

Researchers from industry and academics engaged in Future Internet programmes and projects, e.g. FI PPP programme, FIRE projects, eInfrastructures projects, Living Labs projects and KIC ICT Labs programme.
