Il Consorzio Interuniv. Naz. per l’Informatica
• Public Consortium of 31 Italian Universities
• Departments of Computer Science and Computer Engineering
• ~1100 faculty, ~1000 PhD students and postdocs
• Activity: research, technological transfer, consultancy
Future Internet
• Future Internet is about digital contents and personalized services
• You cannot have a “Future Internet” deployed– If you do not involve people, industry,
government– If you do not provide BB connectivity– If you do not offer novel software services
Future Internet issues
• ICT technologies are the kernel of the Future Internet
• They evolve rapidly, hence frontier research is important
• Three megatrends:– Internet of things (connectivity)– (Open source) software architectures and
middleware – Internet of people (personal services and social
applications)
Connected Society

CINI priorities for FI• IP ++• Research on service oriented systems (NESSI)
– Innovative software architectures for future Internet• Infrastructures for virtualization (of middleware, of services)
– Knowledge-intensive social software technologies for communities (of people, of companies, of the public sector)
• Research on embedded software (ARTEMIS)• ICT Security, including homeland security• Educational issues: skills & professional gaps• Green ICT and energy-aware computing• Legal issues in the future internet: novel QoS, trust, privacy,
IPR schemas for Future Internet, network neutrality
Two recent examples
• ComCast to acquire NBC– Entertainment as the killer application– TV 2.0 still to be defined– Not new: look at BT ADSL traffic after Halo 2
release
• Social Networks in Corporate World– Linkedin, Facebook can be used not only for
dating– Spread and link the Company Knowledge
Future Internet: a “tabula rasa”
• We try to follow a “clean slate” approach to break-through innovation in the Internet architecture
• We need a new Internet that necessarily has to be– Open– Scalable– Reliable and dependable– Diverse in contents and formats of media– Transparent to both service providers and users
• We must encourage innovative thinking in Academia and Industry
• We need support from governments
Architectural challenges
• Dependability improvement of complex and distributed critical networked systems, e. g. air traffic management, railway control, and homeland security systems
• Dependability assessment of wireless sensor networks used to monitor LCCIs (Large Complex Critical Infrastructures)
• Novel mechanisms for traffic measurement, routing and forwarding within the future Internet
• Algorithms and protocols for overlay network services• Novel resilient paradigms for the future Internet
The role of testbeds• We need the availability of effective and open
testbeds– Improve the availability of broadband to reliably
interconnect networking research facilities – Fund network testbeds and demonstrators
• Look at Geni and PlanetLab– Incentive Industries (…and convince
Governments) to go towards the creation of services and applications
• Mobile, seamless BB access• Cloud Computing • e-Health and e-Gov applications• Media and Entertainment Industry
A Future Internet for our Economy
• By designing, experimenting, and teaching the Future Internet we will support the recovery of the EU economy– Fund and support research and training on
new software and network architectures– Support the open source development and
deployment of new services and applications– Help Universities (…and SME) to go Internet
scale exploiting knowledge-intensive services
