FIBRE – Future Internet Testbeds Experimentation between Brazil and Europe
(FP7-288356)
November 2011 – March 2014
Role: Technical Coordinator for the Optical Communications group of UPC

FIBRE is about building and operating a federated large-scale experimental Future Internet facility distributed between Brazil and Europe, to foster the generation of new Brazilian-European partnerships that innovate in Future Internet infrastructure and applications. This overall goal can be broken down into the following objectives:
– Build a shared large-scale experimental facility that enables experimentation on network infrastructure and distributed applications, consisting in a new testbed in Brazil and an enhancement of the FP7 OFELIA facility – currently under development – and the basic wireless facility of FP7 OneLab, the UTH NITOS testbed, both in Europe.
– Federate the Brazilian and European facilities, to allow researchers to use resources of both testbeds in the same experiment.
– Showcase the potential of the facility by demonstrating experimental network-enabled applications deployed on top of the federated facilities resources.
– Enhance the collaboration and exchange of knowledge between European and Brazilian researchers in the field of Future Internet.
