Internet Testbed (http://www.xipi.eu/Infrastructures/UFU-Future-Internet-Testbed) is a unique infrastructure in Brazil that was built the by participation in the projects OFELIA (http://www.fp7-ofelia.eu/), FIWARE (www.fiware.org) and also the association with the FIBRE project (http://fibre-ict.eu). The infrastructure is located at the Campus Santa Mônica in Uberlândia, MG.
The FIWARE Lab consists of a cloud infrastructure with 92 cores, 528 GBytes of RAM and 8 TBytes of disk storage. The FIWARE Lab is in the process of connection with Granja Marileusa (www.granjamarileusa.com.br), a smart district deployed in Uberlândia (MG). After this connection, our FIWARE lad node will host open data from different sensors that are being installed throughout the district by Algar Telecom (https://algartelecom.com.br/operadoras/en/about-us/), a network operator headquartered in Uberlândia. The data will be available to entrepreneurs and companies, allowing the creation of different services and applications based on the FIWARE platform component model. These services and applications will be hosted by the FIWARE Lab of Uberlândia.
The FIBRE island is an infrastructure with two 24 ports DATACOM switches with OpenFlow support, two experimental switches based on NetFPGA and four EDOBRA switches. The EDOBRA switches were built in the OFELIA project and are based on a Wireless Gigabit router (TP-LINK) with four ports that supports the OpenFlow protocol and contains ODTONE (http://hng.av.it.pt/projects/odtone), an open source implementation of the IEEE 802.21 protocol. The processing capacity is based on 36 cores, 96 GB of RAM and 7 TBytes of storage. This infrastructure, built in the OFELIA project is integrated into the FIBRE project and allows the realization of different types of experiments using the networking equipment described above in different network topologies. The experiments can also use recourses and networks to the other islands in Brazil by using the FIBRENET (http://fibre.org.br/infrastructure/resources/). The FIBRENET also supports the connection to different infrastructures in both Europe and in the United States.
Presentation of the talk "The Road Towards Future Internet Deployment" at the Florida International University (FIU). This talk addresses some key topics in this area and present our vision and ongoing research in order collaborate with deployment of the Future Internet.
Prof. Flávio Silva presented an joint work in collaboration with partners from UFRN. The work presents an extension to the Mobility Manager, a software component of the ETARCH control plane. The extension, called Quality-oriented Mobility Management Approach (QoMMA), supports quality-oriented handover management
At October, 15 until 16, Prof. Flávio Silva participated in the SwitchOn Workshop at São Paulo presenting the talk “Future Internet Deployment: The Path Ahead”.
MEHAR professors participate in the First Workshop to Foster Brazil-USA-Europe Research Collaborations on Telecommunication Networks.
