RESEARCH PROJECTS

FEBRUARY 2013 – PRESENT

FP7 ICT PROJECT C-DAX

Cyber-secure Data And Control Cloud for Power Grids

Project goal: The C-DAX project proposes a Cyber-secure DAta and Control Cloud for future power distribution networks as an integrated communication and information infrastructure. C-DAX exploits the properties of novel, information-centric networking (ICN) architectures that are by design more secure, resilient, scalable, and flexible than conventional information systems. C-DAX will be tailored to the specific needs of smart grids for efficient support of massive integration of renewables and a heterogeneous set of co-existing smart grid applications.

FEBRUARY 2012 – FEBRUARY 2013

FP7 ICT PROJECT ETICS

Economics and Technologies for Inter-Carrier Services

Project goal: ETICS aims at creating a new ecosystem of innovative QoS-enabled interconnection models between Network Service Providers allowing for a fair distribution of revenue shares among all the actors of the service delivery value-chain. To achieve these objectives, ETICS will analyse, specify and implement new network control, management and service plane technologies for the automated end-to-end QoS-enabled service delivery across heterogeneous carrier networks.

JULY 2011 – JANUARY 2012

FP7 ICT PROJECT PURSUIT

Pursuing a Pub/Sub Internet

Project goal: follow a system-level approach to re-design the major function of the current Internet, namely the internetworking layer. Focus areas include: caching, potentially leading to new concepts for congestion and error control, transport functions, service-specific delivery solutions, and support for disconnected operations.

JANUARY 2008 – JULY 2010

FP7 ICT PROJECT PSIRP

Publish-Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm

Project goal: redesign the Internet architecture from the pub/sub point of view, taking nothing (not even IP) for granted, focus on the intersection of

security, routing, wireless access, architecture design, and network economics, in order to design and develop efficient and effective solutions.

JULY 2007 – JULY 2010

EURO-NGI/FGI/NF

EU FP7 ICT Network of Excellence investigating architectures for the Network of the Future (with many European partners, 2008-2009).

JUNE 2005 – APRIL 2006

FP6 IST PROJECT B-BONE

Broadcasting and multicasting over enhanced UMTS networks

Project goal: enhance UMTS capacity, transmission rates, RAN and Core network functionalities so as to accommodate digital broadcasting/multicasting (multimedia) type services.

MAY 2005 Research on DAIMON platform: Data Integration for a Mobile Network.
