Atom feedNews from the front: Challenges for research and development of the future Internet identified by the EIFFEL Think Tank
Contributed by Borka Jerman-Blažič, ISOC Slovenia Chapter and ECC
Discussions about Future Internet challenges are ongoing around the world in different groups, such as the commercial, regulatory, and academic worlds, with an aim to define and envisage the nature and process of arriving at the Future Internet. One such group, consisting of US and EU based expert members of ISOC Chapters or IETF working groups, is working within the think tank set up by the European FP7 project EIFFEL. Recently, on 13 July, the group issued a white paper identifying three main areas and challenges of the Future Internet: technology, business, and society.
The overall aim of the whitepaper is to stimulate focussed debate on desirable research and regulatory goals, actions to be taken in reaching them, and potential barriers to their realisation. The main debate is set up within the Future Internet wiki. The main findings are intended to be used for further focussed debate on desirable research and regulatory goals, actions to be taken in reaching them, and potential barriers to their realisation.
The whitepaper is available on the wiki www.eiffel-thinktank.eu and the short version is also available on the ISOC Chapter wiki.
