Euro-FGI : New Joint Research Activity 1 WP.JRA.1.1: Horizontal and Vertical Integration of access technologies
This includes fix and mobile access technologies and architectures, always best connected, vertical handover (including location and mobility management), context awareness, etc. The target is network ubiquity and transparency from the user point of view.  V. Casares Giner
WP.JRA.1.2: Metro and Core architectures
Including backhaul, metro and core networks, Optical network architectures, Transport architectures (including Carrier Ethernet), Control planes (including GMPLS like approaches), Multidomain networking (including external routing architectures), etc. J. Rodrigues and A. Jajszczyk WP.JRA.1.3: Future Internet architecture: Evolutionary and revolutionary approaches
This is a key WP dealing with future network architecture principles, in particular the principles of the future Internet architecture. Those architectures have to deal with all the limitations of the present architecture we highlighted in our “Vision” document. Z. Sun WP.JRA.1.4: New Management architectures
This includes autonomic networking and self management of networks operated by network providers. S. Köhler WP.JRA.1.5: Self-organized systems, new networking paradigms and edge networks
This includes ad-hoc networks, mesh networks, wireless sensor networks, and new networking paradigms like opportunistic networks, delay tolerant networks, network coding, etc. H. De Meer WP.JRA.1.6: New service architectures , Overlays for network control and support of evolved services infrastructures K. Tutschku

Sun WP.JRA.1.1: Horizontal and Vertical Integration of Fixed and Mobile Networks, WP leader: Prof. P. Kuehn The objectives of this work package aim at all basic architectural and technological questions arising with horizontal and vertical integration of fixed and mobile networks, such as: new switching techniques (e.g. burst switching, flow-based switching), media stream conversions, resource management, location and mobility management, address resolution, signalling, routing, network control, quality of service, network management and network security resulting from the NGN development.

WP.JRA.1.2: Core Networks Evolution, towards a unified control plane, WP leader: Prof. D. Kofman
The objective of the present workpackage is multiple. First the team will contribute to the research required to design the cited architectures. Second, we will contribute with the Activities 2 and 3 in order to provide them with a formal specification of the traffic engineering, protection and layout optimization problems that arise in the context of these architectures and to
highlight the specific constraints imposed by them. Third, we will integrate the research results of these activities into the global architecture. Fourth, we will contribute the standardization of these architectures. Prof. D. Kofman Complete WP description, click here WP.JRA.1.3: IP Networking Evolutions, WP leader: Prof. Z. Sun This workpackage studies the evolution of Internet Protocols (IP) and Network Technologies including IPv4 to IPv6 evolution and mobile and fixed networks. The important issues to be addressed include naming and addressing of network entities, QoS routing for Inter and Intra domains, mobile and ad hoc routing, network mobility, network security, network management, congestion control mechanisms, Internet measurement, traffic modelling and traffic engineering, new services and applications. It also studies the evolution of the Internet Infrastructure and convergence of different network technologies to meet the future requirements on user terminals, access networks and backbone networks by overcoming problems in the current Internet.

Tutschku Workpackage JRA 1.4 examines new services and overlay structures particularly their characteristics and dynamics derived from measurements in real networks and statistical analysis, their influence on network operation and network performance. Prof. K. Tutschku Complete WP description, click here WP.JRA.1.5: Network Management: New Trends and architectures, WP leader: Prof. V. Casares Workpackage 1.5 (WP.JRA.1.5 Network Management: New trends and architectures) is included in the Joint Research Activity 1 (Network Architecture Evolution, Technology Integration, Network Control, Management of the Diversity). The main objective of WP.JRA.1.5 is to deal with the management of mobility of mobile internet users. In the next future, multimedia mobile terminals will spread around the world, and multimedia mobile services will be of a very common use. Within mobility management, the location management of mobile users plays an important role. It is a key factor in order to deliver in a proper way the incoming calls. The workpackage works towards the identification of suitable mobility models and system database architectures able to support with a minimal signalling load the location update, registration, interrogation and paging procedures, when considering heterogeneous networks scenarios (UMTS, WLAN...).
