The RINA Workshop is an annually organised event, allowing researchers interested in the Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) to present their work and discuss advances relating to their research. This year, on the 12th of October 2016 the workshop, which is co-organised by the H2020 ICT project ARCFIRE and the FP7 ICT project PRISTINE , will
ARCFIRE’s D2.1: Converged Network Operational Environment Report [pdf] is now available for download at the deliverables area. Below you can find the executive summary. Executive Summary Although network convergence is a long desired goal, current service providers are still working to integrate different access technologies and different network services into a single, common infrastructure. Future-proof service
During the 3rd meeting of ETSI’s ISG NGP group, a RINA tutorial was presented by ARCFIRE representatives. The tutorial covered the basics of RINA (structure, DIF components, overview of data transfer and layer management), followed by a toy example of a RINA mobile network. The presentation triggered a lot of questions and a lively discussion
Last week ARCFIRE and sister project PRISTINE researchers came together to deliver a 3.30h RINA tutorial at EUCNC 2016. The tutorial started with a RINA introduction, then discussed three research topics being investigated by PRISTINE (congestion management, security) and ARCFIRE (mobility, converged operator network design) and concluded with an update of two of the tools that
ARCFIRE representatives attended the IEEE SDN workshop on 5G and Open Mobile Edge Computing that took place in Venice on June 15th. Sven van der Meer, from Ericsson, presented RINA, ARCFIRE and PRISTINE in two sessions: a 1 hour discussion session on building POCs (Proof of Concept) and another 2 hour session on participant contributions. Feedback was
This week representatives of ARCFIRE attended ETSI’s “From Research To Standardisation” Workshop at Sophia-Antipolis. The goal of the workshop was to bring together representatives from the research and the industrial communities, to jointly identify the components of research results which are best suitable for standardization and product development activities and to agree on specific next steps. In
This week representatives of ARCFIRE partners attended the second ETSI NGP ISG meeting that took place in Sophia-Antipolis (France). Some ARCFIRE partners are actively participating in this group – whose goal is to re-architect the current communications protocols stack. During the meeting, ARCFIRE partners presented and discussed three contributions: A tutorial on how layers have been used
ARCFIRE was presented to the FIRE community for the first time during the FIRE Forum meeting that took place the second week of December in Brussels. The objective of the FIRE Forum was to bring together representatives of all FIRE projects and the Experimental Platforms unit, to discuss technical issues of common interest regarding experimental facilities and
