Panel: |
Research Initiatives for a Future Internet |
In the network research community, there is a growing point of view that research that only promises incremental improvements to the Internet will not lead to the network that we need in 10 or 15 years. Issues such as security, resilience, manageability, the continuing economic health of the sector, mobility, and vast numbers of sensors and embedded computers all challenge some of the basic design principles of the current Internet. In response to this viewpoint, the U.S. National Science Foundation has network research and the work normally represented at the conference launched a new focus area for network research called Future Internet Design, or FIND. The approach in FIND is to challenge the research community to set a goal: conceive the network we will want in 15 years. Given that goal, FIND asks for research that will fashion that network, without being constrained by the design of the current Internet.
Many of the requirements that have been identified for a future network are not centered on new technology issues, but in the larger socio-technical context that surrounds the network. Any future network will be shaped by economics, usability, and its match with society’s needs, as much as by new network technology.
The goal of this panel is to discuss the motivation behind FIND (and similar programs overseas) and how the larger social and economic context is being woven into the research agenda. The further goal will be to invite close collaboration on this agenda between the more technical threads of network research and the work normally represented at this conference.
