<strong>Dissemination</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> Fifth Framework Project <strong>25394</strong><br />
1 Introduction<br />
Public<br />
This deliverable presents the dissemination plan <strong>and</strong> use plan for the consortium of the 5th<br />
Framework <strong>IST</strong>-<strong>2000</strong>-<strong>25394</strong> project <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> (Mobility <strong>and</strong> Differentiated Services in a<br />
Future IP Network).<br />
While the dissemination plan in principle contains material <strong>and</strong> information, which is<br />
intended for public use <strong>and</strong> presentation, the use plan is made publically available as well.<br />
For that reason the full deliverable <strong>D0601</strong> will remain classified as public.<br />
The document is structured in two major parts. The first part in Section 2 presents <strong>and</strong><br />
discussed the dissemination plan of the project, focussing on public visibility, st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong><br />
open source contributions, project cooperations, <strong>and</strong> particular <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> research results<br />
dissemination by presentations <strong>and</strong> research papers. The second part in Section 3 covers<br />
the use plan, which the opportunities the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project is preparing <strong>and</strong> challenging,<br />
<strong>and</strong> the individual strategies each of the project member affiliations is following based on<br />
work undertaken in <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>.<br />
2 <strong>Dissemination</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
The strategy of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> to disseminate the project results has several str<strong>and</strong>s.<br />
• Public visibility in the Internet (URL: http://www.ist-mobydick.org/)<br />
• Contribution to st<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
• Contribution of open source implementations<br />
• Cooperation with other projects<br />
• Presentation of results in terms of papers <strong>and</strong> other contributions in appropriate groups,<br />
seminars, <strong>and</strong> conferences.<br />
2.1 Public Visibility in the Internet<br />
Project descriptions <strong>and</strong> other relevant activities from <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> <strong>and</strong> its partners are<br />
documented <strong>and</strong> publicly announced at the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> web-site. In addition, a brief <strong>and</strong><br />
concise project data sheet has been produced, to enable a quick <strong>and</strong> precise overview of<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> goals <strong>and</strong> methods applied. Finally, the project has been <strong>and</strong> will be presented at<br />
various opportunities.<br />
2.1.1 <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> Web-site<br />
The <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> web-site is maintained by the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project management <strong>and</strong> it is<br />
located at the coordinator’s premises accessible via the URL http://www.ist-mobydick.org/.<br />
A current version of the top page screen-shot is depicted in Figure 1.<br />
The page will include a public sector, where <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> news are placed, public deliverables<br />
are accessible in the future, <strong>and</strong> results of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> are located.<br />
2.1.2 <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> Project Data Sheet<br />
The <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project has produced a project information leaflet, which will be accessible<br />
via the Web site <strong>and</strong> is included in the annex of this deliverable as well (cf. Section 5.2). It<br />
covers in a single page the overall information on the objectives <strong>and</strong> issues <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is<br />
targeting at.<br />

2.1.3 Official Project Presentation<br />
The available project presentation on <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>’s objectives, work package descriptions,<br />
timing, scenarios for trials, as well as architectural basics can be accessed at the appendix<br />
of this document. This document has been prepared to enable interested third parties to<br />
achieve in a concise <strong>and</strong> fast manner all necessary information related to the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong><br />
project.<br />
2.2 Contribution to St<strong>and</strong>ards<br />
The development of wireless broadb<strong>and</strong> networks <strong>and</strong> the support of mobility requires a<br />
significant number of technical solutions, which will have be st<strong>and</strong>ardized due to<br />
interoperability reasons. The current impact of existing solutions <strong>and</strong> technology on<br />
wireless <strong>and</strong> mobile communications remains small, mainly due to a larger degree of<br />
complexity than expected. This originates in the problem area of Internet models to be<br />
settled on top of wireless technology. The basic building blocks available comprise an IPbased<br />
mobility support in terms of IPv6 driven by the IETF (Internet Engineering Task<br />
Force). However, any of these Internet st<strong>and</strong>ards remain a little on their own <strong>and</strong> have not<br />
driven the widespread use in various areas. Therefore, the provision of new st<strong>and</strong>ards for<br />
protocols, architectures, <strong>and</strong> even sometimes interfaces or Application Programing<br />
Interfaces (API) are an essential enabler for a larger dissemination of mobility-related work.<br />

Public<br />
St<strong>and</strong>ardization bodies relevant to <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> include:<br />
• IETF, in particular<br />
♦ Authentication, Authorization <strong>and</strong> Accounting (aaa)<br />
♦ IP Routing for Wireless/Mobile Hosts (mobileip)<br />
♦ Context <strong>and</strong> Micro-mobility Routing (seamoby)<br />
♦ Differentiated Services (diffserv)<br />
♦ Robust Header Compression (rohc)<br />
• MWIF (Mobile Wireless Internet Forum)<br />
• 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project)<br />
• 3GPP2 (3rd Generation Partnership Project Two)<br />
2.3 Contribution of Open Source Implementations<br />
Besides WP4 (an open source implementation of important <strong>and</strong> enhanced functions for<br />
major portions of an AAAC server) <strong>and</strong> WP2 (the open source implementation of Mobile<br />
IPv6) no further open source software will be developed. In addition, in support of WP1 to<br />
WP5 on layer 2, a real-time UMTS/TDD (Time Division Duplex) platform is being designed<br />
with an open-architecture at both hardware <strong>and</strong> software levels <strong>and</strong> it will be released<br />
under a GNU public license.<br />
2.4 Cooperation with other Projects<br />
The <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project is funded within the framework of the key action line 4 “Mobile,<br />
Satellite <strong>and</strong> Personal Communications” as presented at the URL http://www.cordis.lu/ist/<br />
ka4/mobile/index.htm. In this key action line various projects are funded <strong>and</strong> some of them<br />
started clustering. <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is one of the projects belonging to the cluster “System beyond<br />
3G” (cf. URL http://www.cordis.lu/ist/ka4/mobile/beyond3g.htm). This cluster in particular<br />
covers eighteen projects. For the time being three projects are good c<strong>and</strong>idates for cooperation<br />
with <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>, as outlined in the following subsections.<br />
Beside the participation in the “System beyond 3G” cluster, the project <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> plans to<br />
set-up an IPv6 related sub-cluster. This sub-cluster will cover IP mobility, Quality-of-<br />
Service, <strong>and</strong> AAA issues in the framework of the next generation Internet Protocol IPv6.<br />
2.4.1 BRAIN: Broadb<strong>and</strong> Radio Access for IP-based Networks<br />
While detailed information are available at the URL http://www.ist-brain.org/, BRAIN’s main<br />
objectives of the BRAIN project are:<br />
• To facilitate the development of a seamless access to existing <strong>and</strong> emerging IP-based<br />
broadb<strong>and</strong> applications <strong>and</strong> services for mobile users in global markets.<br />
• To propose an open architecture for wireless broadb<strong>and</strong> Internet access, which will<br />
allow for an evolution form fixed Internet, emerging/mobile Internet specifications, <strong>and</strong><br />
UMTS/GSM.<br />
• To facilitate new business opportunities for operators, service providers, <strong>and</strong> content<br />
providers to offer high-speed (up to 20 Mbit/s) service complementary to existing mobile<br />
services.<br />
• To contribute actively to global st<strong>and</strong>ardization bodies in necessary time-scales to<br />
impact significantly international st<strong>and</strong>ardization.<br />

2.4.2 MIND: Mobile IP-based Network Developments<br />
The MIND project is the follow-up project of the BRAIN project <strong>and</strong> it covers the<br />
implementation <strong>and</strong> the evaluation of selected BRAIN results, as well as new conceptual<br />
work.<br />
A Web-site is not available for the time being.<br />
2.4.3 WINE GLASS: Wireless IP NEtwork as a Generic platform for<br />
Location Aware Service Support<br />
This project exploits the potential of IP-based wireless mobile multimedia networking in<br />
public <strong>and</strong> business contexts, by means of UTRAN <strong>and</strong> WLAN respectively (cf. URL http://<br />
domobili.cselt.it/WineGlass/). The wireless Internet test-bed will be constructed around an<br />
IP backbone, which could as well be the Internet. The UMTS environment will be composed<br />
of IP-based UMTS core network with emulated W-CDMA-based UTRAN access. The<br />
WLAN environment will be made up of intranets with commercial WLAN access.<br />
With this test-bed, support of mobility <strong>and</strong> soft-guaranteed QoS will be investigated at the<br />
IP level in both the contexts of the IP backbone <strong>and</strong> IP-based UMTS core network. The<br />
Project will also address such support in the UMTS W-CDMA FDD mode. Besides, also<br />
investigated will be the associated issues that may arise in the interworking of mobility <strong>and</strong><br />
QoS between UMTS, WLAN, <strong>and</strong> the IP backbone.<br />
Location- <strong>and</strong> QoS-aware application services will be conceived to exploit the support of<br />
mobility <strong>and</strong> soft-guaranteed QoS offered by the underlying wireless Internet architecture.<br />
Specifically, session/call control, possibly based on SIP/R SP or H.323, will be enhanced to<br />
incorporate capability negotiation <strong>and</strong> location information functionality.<br />
This project will be performed in two phases. Phase 1 technical activities will concentrate<br />
on technical requirements <strong>and</strong> expected results for the project; hardware <strong>and</strong> software<br />
development <strong>and</strong> integration requirements for the wireless Internet testbed; assessment of<br />
intermediate research results with respect to mobility support in the wireless Internet<br />
architecture <strong>and</strong> location-aware application services. Technical activities in the project<br />
phase 2 will include the final integration of the wireless Internet testbed; assessment of final<br />
research results with respect to support of mobility <strong>and</strong> soft-guaranteed QoS in the wireless<br />
Internet architecture, as well as location- <strong>and</strong> QoS-aware application services. During the<br />
project, feedback from continuous technical assessments to technical development will<br />
take place to ensure high quality of the project results.<br />
2.5 <strong>Dissemination</strong> of Project Results<br />

Public<br />
<strong>Dissemination</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
This section of the <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong> contains the descriptions of all <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> partner’s plans to<br />
use the results of the project. It include business aspects as well as academic aspects. The<br />
material at this stage of Section 3.1 is based on the Technical Annex of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
directly relates the use plan with the motivations the project once was driven by. The project<br />
is convinced that the market as well as technology context has not changed, there is still an<br />
emerging need for a solution on the questions posed in the Technical Annex.<br />
3.1 Opportunities<br />
The definition, implementation, <strong>and</strong> evaluation of an IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-toend<br />
QoS (Quality-of-Service) architecture starting from the IETF’s (Internet Engineering<br />
Task Force) QoS models, Mobile-IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), <strong>and</strong> AAA<br />
(Authentication Authorization, <strong>and</strong> Accounting) framework, to be carried out by <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>,<br />
will provide a major contribution to a network technology discipline (that of Terrestrial<br />
Wireless System <strong>and</strong> Networks), which has the most profound impact on the socioeconomic<br />
situation of the general public since it involves both professional <strong>and</strong> private<br />
users. This innovative approach, covering layer 2 technology, the only layer 3 protocol of<br />
interest, IP, <strong>and</strong> example applications, is driven by trends observed at current wireless<br />
markets.<br />

Considering the market opportunity, the following - nowadays typical - Figure 2 depicts the<br />
number of Internet connected h<strong>and</strong>sets or mobile hosts. This number will meet the number<br />
of fixed to the Internet connected hosts in approximately 2003. Therefore, a large potential<br />
for mobile data communication services is envisioned.<br />
At the same time more <strong>and</strong> more mobile <strong>and</strong> portable hosts will require <strong>and</strong> eventually have<br />
integrated interfaces to connect to various kinds of (access-)networks, such as cellular<br />
networks, WaveLANs <strong>and</strong> fixed, wired LANs (Local Area Network). In addition to horizontal<br />
h<strong>and</strong>over mechanisms (roaming in different cells) established in cellular networks, this<br />
multi-access network situation requires vertical (connection to different type of access<br />

uniform IP-convergence architecture for ubiquitous Internet access: IPv6 <strong>and</strong> AAA, the key<br />
ingredients of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>’s approach to mobility, QoS <strong>and</strong> AAA are extremely well suited to<br />
provide added value. Both IPv6 <strong>and</strong> AAA are considered - both at the European level <strong>and</strong><br />
within the IETF - to be a technical necessity for ubiquitous access for the next-generation<br />
Internet. In addition, IPv6 <strong>and</strong> AAA a clearly fields where Europe does not lag behind the<br />
US - both with respect to influence in the relevant st<strong>and</strong>ardization bodies <strong>and</strong> products. In<br />
addition, the extensions of AAA into the areas of AAAC (covering additionally charging <strong>and</strong><br />
auditing features) will be an important step forward.<br />
3.1.1 European Synergy<br />
Involving an international consortium of telecommunication operators, manufacturers, <strong>and</strong><br />
research institutes, complementary in interest <strong>and</strong> expertise, <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>’s solution will<br />
leverage this development into business opportunities <strong>and</strong> user benefits at the European<br />
<strong>and</strong> international level. While in principle, given the expertise, <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>’s IPv6- <strong>and</strong> AAAbased<br />
solutions could be developed on a national basis, it is obvious that for reasons of<br />
presence, weight, consensus, acceptance on an International scale, the project is a clear<br />
c<strong>and</strong>idate for European <strong>and</strong> International co-operation.<br />
3.1.2 Manufacturer’s View Point<br />
For manufacturers involved in the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> Consortium, exploitation of results of the<br />
Project offers a key strategic opportunity for the longer-term development of their telecom<br />
business, beyond UMTS Release <strong>2000</strong>, both in Europe <strong>and</strong> globally. Manufacturers are<br />
already active in some st<strong>and</strong>ardization bodies (such as ITU <strong>and</strong> ETSI) <strong>and</strong> <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will<br />
offer a framework to transform this investment <strong>and</strong> participation into a substantial<br />
commercial opportunity on the time frame of 2001 to 2010. In addition, the presence of<br />
major global players, such as NEC <strong>and</strong> Motorola will provide greater leverage on bodies<br />
such as the IETF; it is very doubtful if manufacturers could have significant influence on<br />
these bodies by acting alone.<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> manufacturers all supply aspects of fixed <strong>and</strong> mobile telecommunications<br />
equipment such as base stations, access, <strong>and</strong> switching infrastructure, mobile terminal,<br />
AAA servers, QoS capable equipment. In all these fields <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> offers an opportunity to<br />
build world-wide market share, if the Project achieves its goals. The experience gained in<br />
this Project will help positioning the partners well to introduce a range of: terminals, access<br />
infrastructure, <strong>and</strong> mobile multimedia applications for extended UMTS Release <strong>2000</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network).<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will also offer manufacturers shorter-term exploitation benefits. <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is<br />
predicated on all-IP <strong>and</strong> IP applications (Voice-over-IP) <strong>and</strong> IP network equipment (router<br />
<strong>and</strong> server). It will also provide support for UMTS deployment, since <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will<br />
specifically extend UMTS, <strong>and</strong> give confidence that some of the deficiencies of UMTS will<br />
be abolished. This will provide short-term growth in the UMTS market to the benefit of the<br />
entire European mobile telecommunications industry.<br />
3.1.3 Operator’s View Point<br />
For operators <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will offer the opportunity to develop new services. <strong>Use</strong>rs are<br />
becoming used to data rates of 10 Mbit/s on existing <strong>and</strong> advanced Ethernet, fixed,<br />
connections - playing videos, games, <strong>and</strong> holding video conferences. <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will allow<br />
these services to be offered in a mobile context. In addition, the fixed-mobile convergence<br />

offered by using IP over a common core of routers, with three access technologiesrespectively<br />
Ethernet, IEEE 802.11 <strong>and</strong> W-CDMA (Wideb<strong>and</strong> Code Division Multiple<br />
Access), will allow operators to offer a common look <strong>and</strong> feel to services accessed from<br />
anywhere at anytime. Finally, <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will provide support for new, mobile-aware,<br />
applications. Thus, when browsers are started they will be given location information <strong>and</strong><br />
users can then be provided with location-relevant information. This will be tested with<br />
ERASMUS exchange students. During their stay in the foreign university (either in Berlin or<br />
Stuttgart), students from Madrid can have audio access to lectures inhome university or to<br />
Web-servers in their home country with specific information.<br />
Operators will be able to exploit <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> to reduce costs for mobile communications.<br />
Additionally, they will be able to develop cost models <strong>and</strong> billing mechanisms for mobile IP<br />
QoS traffic. With the use of AAA architecture, they can set-up secure interconnection for<br />
business cases.<br />
3.1.4 Universities/Research Center’s View Point<br />
Universities will exploit <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> through an increase in know-how <strong>and</strong> ability to support<br />
the European mobile telecommunications industry. At the conclusion of the Project they will<br />
be in a strong position to supply technical support <strong>and</strong> trained engineers to the European<br />
work force in mobile telecommunications.<br />
Research Centers within the Consortium will be in a position to support the migration of<br />
operators from second generation systems to UMTS <strong>and</strong> <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>-based IP architects<br />
supporting mobile multimedia delivery. They will create competencies to support industrial<br />
partners <strong>and</strong> SMEs (Small <strong>and</strong> Medium Enterprise). Through liaison with bodies, such as<br />
3GPP, it is expected that early exploitation will be seen in the form of acceleration of the<br />
introduction of new services, even on updated second (e.g., GPRS, General Packet Radio<br />
System) <strong>and</strong> third generation networks.<br />
The project <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will have a strong impact on further research <strong>and</strong> education of the<br />
computer scientist, telecommunications engineer, <strong>and</strong> electrical engineer of tomorrow.<br />
3.2 Individual Partner Strategies<br />
Based on these overall <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>-relevant discussion of opportunities <strong>and</strong> challenges,<br />
each individual partner of the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> consortium expresses separately <strong>and</strong> explicitly<br />
their business or academic use plan.<br />

architecture work, as well as the development <strong>and</strong> implementation of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong><br />
mechanisms will open new business opportunities for the mobile service provider (T-<br />
Mobile) <strong>and</strong> the backbone provider (business unit Data Communication) of Deutsche<br />
Telekom.<br />
For the purpose of disseminating the results of the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project, T-Nova will establish<br />
strong co-operations with business units inside Deutsche Telekom AG responsible mobile<br />
wireless communication. It will involve T-Mobile, as the mobile service provider of Deutsche<br />
Telekom, in the field trial activities of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>. Furthermore, Berkom will disseminate the<br />
results of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> by workshops <strong>and</strong> technical papers addressed to st<strong>and</strong>ardization<br />
bodies <strong>and</strong> conferences. Regularly meetings <strong>and</strong> workshops are agreed upon to widely<br />
exchange project information <strong>and</strong> to influence product developments especially towards T-<br />
Mobile <strong>and</strong> the business unit Data Communication.<br />
3.2.2 NEC Network Development Laboratories, Heidelberg, D<br />
NEC Corporation with his over 100 years of business experience, global operations, <strong>and</strong> a<br />
cutting-edge technology in numerous fields, is a leading provider of Internet solutions. NEC<br />
has structured its business into three in-house companies, namely NEC Solutions, NEC<br />
Networks, <strong>and</strong> NEC Electron Devices. NEC Networks provides Internet solutions to<br />
customers including network operators, Internet service providers <strong>and</strong> broadcasters, <strong>and</strong> is<br />
the primary internal customer of NEC Europe Ltd. Network Laboratories Heidelberg. The<br />
mission of our labs is to develop innovative Internet solutions by integrating multimedia <strong>and</strong><br />
mobility for high-quality <strong>and</strong> truly ubiquitous access to Internet services. Our labs in<br />
Heidelberg co-operate with labs <strong>and</strong> research centres in Japan <strong>and</strong> the USA, bringing<br />
together <strong>and</strong> using a vast amount of international expertise in mobility <strong>and</strong> the Internet.<br />
Two areas of particular interest to NEC Corporation are Internet <strong>and</strong> mobility. In each of<br />
these areas, NEC aims to be the technology leader with its products. Among these range<br />
core routers of the CX5000 series, edge routers of the IX5000 series, <strong>and</strong> the CX6800 QoS<br />
Servers to name a few. For all these products, NEC is one of the few companies with a<br />
strong strategic focus on IPv6, as shown through the early presence of IPv6 in its product<br />
range. In addition, NEC is committed to implementing Mobile IP in its products. In the<br />
mobility area, NEC is the leading provider of W-CDMA equipment <strong>and</strong> has provided W-<br />
CDMA equipment <strong>and</strong> terminals for the world’s first two operational UMTS networks,<br />
namely the UMTS networks of Manx Telecom (Isle of Man) <strong>and</strong> NTT DoCoMo in Japan.<br />
Besides its strong position in the Japanese market, NEC is currently increasing its<br />
presence in Europe, both in terms of marketing <strong>and</strong> sales <strong>and</strong> in research <strong>and</strong><br />
development. NEC is actively promoting its latest technology to increase the speed of<br />
deployment not only 3G <strong>and</strong> beyond, but of IPv6 based Internet as well. This will generate<br />
new business opportunities <strong>and</strong> jobs in Europe, as shown by Telecom Modus Ltd., a joint<br />
venture 3G development company established in 1998 between NEC Corporation of Japan<br />
<strong>and</strong> ERA Technology Ltd. in the UK.<br />
With this in mind, NEC business units have from the very beginning shown a strong <strong>and</strong><br />
direct interest in the <strong>Moby</strong> <strong>Dick</strong> project. NEC Network Laboratories Heidelberg regularly<br />
presents results of the <strong>Moby</strong> <strong>Dick</strong> project to NEC business units as part of its routine<br />
dissemination work. Results also flow into internal reports <strong>and</strong> into overall considerations of<br />
architecture <strong>and</strong> strategy within NEC as a whole. Beyond this, software will also be<br />
transferred to development units in Japan <strong>and</strong> to Telecom Modus Ltd. in the UK, where<br />
these results are used as an integral part of their product development.<br />

3.2.3 University Carlos III of Madrid, UC3M, Madrid, E<br />
University Carlos III of Madrid is in charge of higher education <strong>and</strong> research on technical<br />
<strong>and</strong> non-technical areas. The Telematics Department is involved in education <strong>and</strong> research<br />
on broadb<strong>and</strong> networks, advanced Internet networking <strong>and</strong> applications, as well as<br />
intelligent agents. In this scenario <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project represents one of the most important<br />
projects in the field of mobility <strong>and</strong> QoS support.<br />
Concerning to the dissemination, UC3M has different interests. First, to create a testbed<br />
with heterogeneous access networks connected by IPv6 QoS aware networks, able to<br />
demonstrate the mobility of terminals <strong>and</strong> users as well as QoS support for them in this<br />
complex environment. UC3M will host one of the two trial sites in which real users<br />
(SOCRATES-ERASMUS students) will test the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> systems. Feedback from the<br />
users will be used for the evolution of the distance teaching activities which today are<br />
performed inside the UC3M.<br />
Second, UC3M is interested in contributing as much as possible to the future “All-IP”<br />
network concept by researching <strong>and</strong> publishing main results of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> in conferences<br />
<strong>and</strong> magazines.<br />
Finally, as an entity of research <strong>and</strong> teaching, UC3M is interested in improving <strong>and</strong> evolving<br />
the state of the art of these technologies, as well as to lead, together with <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong><br />
partners, their evolution in order to be able to transfer this knowledge in our teaching<br />
activities in the next future.<br />
3.2.4 Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule, Zürich, CH<br />
The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, ETH Zürich will work on the support of all design<br />
<strong>and</strong> implementation tasks for <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> in collaboration with industry partners as well as<br />
academic research institutions. As being an academic institution by itself, ETH is actively<br />
involved in the research community of networking, Internet-based communications, <strong>and</strong><br />
economic control mechanisms for traffic management. Therefore, it is expected to publish,<br />
present, <strong>and</strong> demonstrate the project as well as its results in journals, conferences, <strong>and</strong><br />
workshops as well as to industrial partners are interesting organizations. Results in the area<br />
of AAA, AAAC, mobility, <strong>and</strong> Quality-of-Service (QoS) work in mobile networks will be<br />
distributed internationally.<br />
The dissemination strategy of ETH focusses mainly on the integration of research results<br />
into its main business area: teachings upcoming student generations with up-to-date<br />
knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience. Therefore, the developed research results will be used at ETH<br />
Zürich for teaching innovation, <strong>and</strong>, whenever possible, for test-bed evaluations in an<br />
academic production environment. In particular, the technical questions on the Internet, the<br />
IP protocol, the AAA Architecture, <strong>and</strong> security issues will be used to teach in graduate<br />
courses, to provide a modern <strong>and</strong> up-to-date education of electrical engineering <strong>and</strong><br />
computer science students. In particular, the mobile aspects of the project are in the<br />
process of stimulating a preparation of a mobile lecture in addition to the stronger focus of<br />
an existing seminar on “Internet Economics” to mobile business models <strong>and</strong> technology for<br />
Internet communications. Finally, the results developed within <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will form the basis<br />
for future projects proposals in the area of mobile networking.<br />

RUS is the first German National super computer center. The HLRS hardware is planned,<br />
financed, <strong>and</strong> operated as a public-private company (operated by “hww”) comprising the<br />
debis Systemhaus, Porsche AG as well as the universities of Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, <strong>and</strong><br />
Heidelberg. RUS is also operating the state of Baden-Württemberg science network <strong>and</strong><br />
the campus network of the University of Stuttgart. IND research activities are concentrated<br />
on distributed systems <strong>and</strong> communication networks.<br />
Within this context <strong>and</strong> with respect to dissemination, three major fields of interest are to be<br />
mentioned. RUS has to be prepared for the time the “cellular phone generation” joins the<br />
university. Wireless <strong>and</strong> mobile technologies have to be integrated into lessons <strong>and</strong><br />
operative services of a university with about <strong>2000</strong>0 students dispersed over the city of<br />
Stuttgart. This requires a network platform integrating wired <strong>and</strong> wireless as well as mobile<br />
technologies, including the possibility to roam between networks based on different<br />
technologies as addressed within <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>. From a service point of view, RUS is<br />
interested especially in the dissemination of Mob<strong>Dick</strong>’s AAA results.<br />
The interests of the IND are twofold: expected results in research area will be published in<br />
conferences as well as journals <strong>and</strong> introduced to st<strong>and</strong>ardization bodies like the IETF.<br />
RUS <strong>and</strong> the IND are highly interested in running the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> field trial to give<br />
ERASMUS, SOCRATES, <strong>and</strong> especially IND’s international master students the<br />
opportunity to gain experience with new network technologies in the context of teaching.<br />
Here, interests of RUS are focussed on operational <strong>and</strong> service aspects, e.g., AAA,<br />
whereas IND is interested in including technologies into their teaching activities.<br />
Experiments of the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> field trial will also contribute to University of Stuttgart’s<br />
ongoing “Virtual University Activities”.<br />
3.2.6 GMD Fokus, Berlin, D<br />
GMD FOKUS is one of the leading research institutes in Germany. The work of FOKUS<br />
covers design, specification, implementation <strong>and</strong> consulting in the following areas:<br />
advanced network technologies <strong>and</strong> systems, global heterogeneous networking <strong>and</strong><br />
internet technologies, mobile <strong>and</strong> broadb<strong>and</strong> wireless communications, testing,<br />
interoperability <strong>and</strong> performance evaluation of distributed communication systems,<br />
interactive multimedia applications, distributed object technology, platforms <strong>and</strong> services,<br />
intelligent mobile agent technology <strong>and</strong> electronic commerce.<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is one of important projects being conducted by GMD FOKUS in cooperation<br />
with other research institutes <strong>and</strong> partners from the industry. GMD FOKUS will use the<br />
results of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> to evaluate <strong>and</strong> improve its ongoing development of an open <strong>and</strong><br />
generic AAA infrastructure for all IP services towards the status of a pre-product. This will<br />
provide the basis for interested SMEs <strong>and</strong> for spin-off companies to develop products for<br />
the Telecommunications <strong>and</strong> Electronic Market industry. As a research institute GMD<br />
FOKUS actively participates in the st<strong>and</strong>ardization process in international (ISO, ITU-T)<br />
<strong>and</strong> industrial consortia (e.g., OMG, TMForum, DAVIC, IETF) <strong>and</strong> is intending to contribute<br />
the results <strong>and</strong> experience gained in the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project to the st<strong>and</strong>ardization process.<br />
The areas to be addressed are particularly AAA, Mobility <strong>and</strong> QoS in the future IP network<br />
where these factors will be instrumental in the success of IP telephony, audio/video<br />
streaming <strong>and</strong> other high b<strong>and</strong>width QoS enabled applications for mobile consumers.<br />
Furthermore, contributions will be made to the IRTF AAAArch group, as <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> looks<br />
very closely at the aspects of Authentication, Authorization <strong>and</strong> Accounting in all IP<br />
networks. The access to the network could be over Ethernet, xDSL, ISDN, WLAN or W-<br />

3.2.7 Portugal Telecom, P<br />
Portugal Telecom Inovação, SA (PT Inovação, SA) is the branch for Research <strong>and</strong><br />
Development (R&D) in Telecommunications within the PT group of companies. PT<br />
Inovação, SA results from the fusion of former CET with the once PT departments Inesctel<br />
<strong>and</strong> Marconi Labs, thus embedding a whole spectrum of R&D competence. This fact grants<br />
PT Inovação, SA the status of biggest Portuguese speaking company in the business of<br />
innovation <strong>and</strong> R&D in the Infocommunication area.<br />
PT Inovação, SA <strong>and</strong> its parent organization Portugal Telecom, have been the prime<br />
contractors of the RIA Consortium (Portuguese National Host) in the framework of the<br />
ACTS programme. Together with the local University, CET was one of the founding parties<br />
of the Institute of Telecommunications in Aveiro.<br />
The <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project will allow PT Inovação, SA to contribute in the specification,<br />
development, demonstration <strong>and</strong> validation of future “all-IP” network solutions. PT<br />
Inovação, SA will consolidate <strong>and</strong> gain knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience in areas such as IPv6,<br />
QoS <strong>and</strong> mobility. PT Inovação, SA will use this knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience in future<br />
operation <strong>and</strong> development of new equipment, services <strong>and</strong> applications. Dem<strong>and</strong> for IP<br />
guaranteed QoS is a reality that is being pushed by the observed migration of existing realtime<br />
services to IP-based networks. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, mobility (both user <strong>and</strong> terminal<br />
mobility) is a key requirement for an increasing number of users.<br />
Portugal Telecom, is deploying an IP backbone infrastructure that will support several<br />
emerging <strong>and</strong> new services. Participation in <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is seen by PT Inovação, SA as a<br />
strategic positioning to acquire the right knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience, <strong>and</strong> participate in the<br />
development of required tools, methodologies <strong>and</strong> architecture to deal with the creation of a<br />
management of those services.<br />
PT Inovação, SA works also as a consultant <strong>and</strong> evaluator for PT, for the introduction of<br />
new equipment <strong>and</strong> services. The experience <strong>and</strong> knowledge obtained during project<br />
execution regarding user equipment, network services, <strong>and</strong> applications, will allow PT<br />
Inovação, SA on this task <strong>and</strong> will open new working areas. Having the know-how <strong>and</strong><br />
experience on how to set up <strong>and</strong> manage new QoS-enabled mobile IP services will give PT<br />
Inovação, SA a strategic position to guarantee the PT group success, via innovation, in a<br />
deregulated telecommunications market.<br />
PT Inovação, SA is also very interested in publishing <strong>and</strong> disseminate in conferences,<br />

3.2.8 Centre de Recherche de Motorola, Paris, F<br />
One of the strategic goals of Motorola research is ‘Beyond 3G’. Such approach has an<br />
impact for the next generation communication systems. <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is viewed by Motorola as<br />
an excellent means to further investigate issues concerning IPv6-based Beyond-3G<br />
networking. In <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>, Motorola is interested in 3 aspects of Beyond-3G networking:<br />
mobility, QoS, <strong>and</strong> management.<br />
Concerning the technology under investigation, mobility, QoS, <strong>and</strong> management play a<br />
major role in the framework of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>.<br />
Mobility is the aspect that Motorola concentrated in the WINE GLASS project, especially in<br />
the enhancement the IPv6 mobility capability <strong>and</strong> its integration with security functions. As<br />
a major player in radio communication technologies, Motorola aims to apply enhanced IPv6<br />
technologies for the convergence of mobile telecommunications <strong>and</strong> the Internet to enable<br />
a seamless mobile Internet, beyond the current capability of mere wireless access to the<br />
Internet. <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> provides a perfect research context that Motorola will leverage to further<br />
develop the necessary IP mobility capability for systems beyond 3G.<br />
QoS in the current IP network doesn’t fulfill the requirements of the future applications that<br />
requires a specified level of service classes to be supported. Motorola is the WP2 leader in<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> to develop QoS technologies to support mobile nodes. Motorola aims to design<br />
<strong>and</strong> implement a consistent, realistic <strong>and</strong> applicable architecture for the QoS interaction<br />
between different technologies (W-CDMA <strong>and</strong> IP) within <strong>and</strong> between different<br />
administrative domains in various scenarios. Besides, Motorola will also investigate more<br />
efficient transport protocol for wireless environments.<br />
Motorola believes that the architecture of Beyond-3G system should be based on<br />
administrative domains defined by AAA. Motorola will investigate the interaction <strong>and</strong><br />
integration of support of mobility, QoS, <strong>and</strong> AAA, to ensure efficient <strong>and</strong> effective<br />
operations.<br />
With respect to added values, Motorola provides research <strong>and</strong> implementation efforts.<br />
Motorola expects <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> to contribute to st<strong>and</strong>ardization of Beyond-3G systems. In<br />
particular, Motorola would like to help promote relevant <strong>Moby</strong> <strong>Dick</strong> results in IETF, WWRF,<br />
etc. Motorola also believes that it is beneficial to leverage efforts <strong>and</strong> establish synergy with<br />
researchers from various universities <strong>and</strong> industry research centres. Such an experience<br />
will help move technologies forward together.<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will implement a testbed to experiment, underst<strong>and</strong>, validate, <strong>and</strong> evaluate the<br />
<strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> research results. Motorola expects a high quality implementation <strong>and</strong> integration<br />
process for the testbed as well as good documentation for the whole process.<br />
3.2.9 EURECOM, Sophia-Antipolis, F<br />
Eurecom’s mobile communications department has research <strong>and</strong> teaching activities in both<br />
physical <strong>and</strong> networking layer aspects of mobile communication systems. Our group is also<br />
currently active in implementation aspects of 3G radio systems, <strong>and</strong> one of its main<br />
activities in this area is the development of a real-time UMTS/TDD platform. This platform is<br />
being designed with an open-architecture at both hardware <strong>and</strong> software levels <strong>and</strong> is<br />
primarily software-based, i.e. a wide-b<strong>and</strong> software radio. The platform software will be<br />
released under a GNU public license to promote academic collaboration in the area of 3G<br />
systems.<br />

<strong>Dissemination</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Use</strong> <strong>Plan</strong><br />
Eurecom’s platform will be used <strong>and</strong> potentially duplicated to varying degrees of complexity<br />
by the members of the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> consortium. Moreover, certain implementation choices<br />
related to networking aspects will adopt the architectural models developed in the context<br />
of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>, namely those related to the interconnection of UMTS/TDD <strong>and</strong> an all-IPv6<br />
backbone.<br />
Being an academic institution, our resources are clearly limited, <strong>and</strong> thus EURECOM<br />
cannot hope to develop all aspects of the network infrastructure on top of its platform. It is<br />
our goal, therefore, to use the development of the other members of the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong><br />
consortium to augment the scope of our work, during <strong>and</strong> after the life of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>. The<br />
intent is to make beneficial use of the open architecture policy to pool resources <strong>and</strong><br />
provide a very complete real-time platform to both our researchers <strong>and</strong> students as well as<br />
to other research bodies <strong>and</strong> educational institutions.<br />
In terms of research, we are primarily interested in the end-to-end IPv6 architecture<br />
proposed by <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> <strong>and</strong> the conclusions that can be drawn regarding:<br />
1 IPv6 <strong>and</strong> UMTS Quality-of-Service (QoS) mapping<br />
2 Radio resource optimization for mobile multimedia services<br />
3 Mobility management<br />
4 H<strong>and</strong>over strategies<br />
5 Security<br />
6 UMTS/IEEE 802.11 inter-operability<br />
It is hoped that our openness policy will lead to similar open-architecture projects on top of<br />
our platform both at the European <strong>and</strong> national (French) level. This is already the case with<br />
the following projects funded by the French Ministry of Finance under the label of the RNRT<br />

The Department of Telecommunication of the AGH Technical University of Cracow is a<br />
research <strong>and</strong> educational centre in telecommunications <strong>and</strong> information technology. The<br />
primary focus of the Department is to offer high quality courses on the networking<br />
technologies <strong>and</strong> trends in the telecommunications. The courses are structured into<br />
thematic blocks including radio communication, optical networks, broadb<strong>and</strong><br />
communications, multimedia, <strong>and</strong> encompass numerous aspects such as technology,<br />
protocols, traffic modelling, network planning, performance evaluation <strong>and</strong> optimization,<br />
<strong>and</strong> others. The courses are delivered to the students of high education in the form of<br />
lectures, practical courses, laboratory courses <strong>and</strong> projects. The Department also provides<br />
individual courses for native <strong>and</strong> foreign students.<br />
Therefore, the efforts to disseminate the results of the <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project will concentrate on<br />
the proliferation of knowledge by means of lectures, conferences, journal papers <strong>and</strong><br />
consultancy.<br />
The emphasis will be put on the upgrade of the educational process, which is m<strong>and</strong>atory to<br />
keep-up the pace <strong>and</strong> stay competitive in the rapidly evolving telecommunication industry.<br />
In this area the Department of Telecommunications is planning to upgrade <strong>and</strong> complement<br />
the teaching programme, in particular the subjects related to wireless communication, in<br />
order to exploit the potentials resulting from participation in the Project.<br />
The Department also considers the introduction of a specialized course on Mobile IP <strong>and</strong><br />
AAA, to enable the students to explore further the challenges of IP in the context of mobility<br />
management.<br />

Now, it has become a good tradition of the Department to involve students of the fifth year<br />
of studies into the activities carried in the Department. There is a common consensus, that<br />
the problems that are the subject of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> project are excellent problems to be<br />
followed, <strong>and</strong> further explored by the students heading for the degree of Master of<br />
Sciences. <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is considered here as an important source of concepts, a good case<br />
study with an advanced reference architecture. Study of these problems by students is<br />
challenging as it requires inter-speciality knowledge of radio network interface (W-CDMA),<br />
capacity management, operation of the IP protocol over specific link layers, <strong>and</strong><br />
underst<strong>and</strong>ing of quality of service issues in packet networks.<br />
Both lectures <strong>and</strong> optional courses will be accompanied by practical courses. Several<br />
techniques are considered, out of which pure theoretical work, simulation or emulation, <strong>and</strong><br />
also experiments in an operational network are considered, depending on the availability of<br />
the infrastructure. Apportioning of courses into compulsory, optional <strong>and</strong> master thesis will<br />
introduce flexibility in the teaching paths.<br />
A new but quickly growing field of education are the extra-mural studies. This type of<br />
education has been introduced in response to a strong dem<strong>and</strong> of the companies, willing to<br />
update <strong>and</strong> extend the knowledge of telecommunications of the employees. The knowledge<br />
resulting from participation in the Project supported by the experience gathered during the<br />
field trial is a much wanted knowledge, that will draw the audience. This kind of<br />
dissemination will be carried on with care, in order to respect the commitment to protect the<br />
intellectual property rights of the partners.<br />
A quickly growing <strong>and</strong> changing telecom market in Pol<strong>and</strong> has created an increased<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> for consultancy. Advanced radio communications <strong>and</strong> Internet access are now the<br />
driving forces of these changes. The Department of Telecommunications responds to the<br />
dem<strong>and</strong> by sharing the expertise with the telecom operators. In this field the findings <strong>and</strong><br />
conclusions of <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> will contribute to a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of the problems, <strong>and</strong> will<br />
help to derive feasible scenarios for the deployment of wireless Internet access <strong>and</strong><br />
wireless services.<br />
In addition to the mainstream activities, the Department of Telecommunications each year<br />
holds one or two conferences, that provide the people with an opportunity to share new<br />
concepts <strong>and</strong> ideas. The collaborative research work carried in the Project provides a<br />
valuable seed for such discussions.<br />
The overall objective of the above-listed activities is to point out a clear view of the feasible<br />
evolutionary scenarios beyond 3G systems, which are still considered by many as the<br />
ultimate target of wireless telecommunications industry, with no evolutionary scenarios<br />
beyond it.<br />
This combined approach for dissemination shall bring a substantial impact on the<br />
telecommunication community in Pol<strong>and</strong> as well as in other countries. It shall have the<br />
effect both in terms of immediate results (e.g., coming from the publication of conference<br />
papers) <strong>and</strong> the long-term results (e.g., by means of education). As a result, it will leverage<br />
of the awareness of the prospective evolution strategies for the telecommunication market.<br />
At the same time the Department of Telecommunications of the University of Mining <strong>and</strong><br />
Metallurgy will strengthen its position as a leading educational <strong>and</strong> research centre for<br />
telecommunications.<br />

Within the Kplus Competence Centers framework of the Austrian government, the<br />
Telecommunications Research Center Vienna (Forschungszentrum Telekommunikation<br />
Wien, FTW) provides a unique focal point for telecommunications research in Austria,<br />
bringing together several university institutes <strong>and</strong> the research departments of about 15<br />
industrial partners, including the big players in the Austrian telecommunications market as<br />
well as a couple of Small <strong>and</strong> Medium Enterprises (SME). The internal structure of FTW,<br />
composed of three major research areas A (Telecommunication Networks), B (Signal<br />
Processing) <strong>and</strong> C (Mobile Networks), shows immediately that mobile networks <strong>and</strong> UMTS<br />
are already well-established as a major research focus. In this context, <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong> is<br />
considered to be an important project for endorsing <strong>and</strong> extending the know-how in the<br />
mentioned research areas A <strong>and</strong> C. Moreover, as a direct result of FTW’s participation in<br />
this <strong>IST</strong>-project, several industry partners in the FTW consortium explicitly have expressed<br />
great <strong>and</strong> continuous interest in the research issues related to <strong>Moby</strong><strong>Dick</strong>. Therefore, it is<br />
planned to create a new project (AIDA) within FTW which is devoted mainly to support <strong>and</strong><br />
deepen research in the areas of QoS, migration issues, inter-domain mobility <strong>and</strong> charging<br />
for mobile environments. Currently, the preparation phase of AIDA has just started, the<br />
project begin itself is scheduled for early 2002.<br />
<strong>Dissemination</strong> of specific know-how among all FTW partners has always been a leading<br />
motivation for the close cooperation between academia <strong>and</strong> industry that forms the core of<br />
our research center. Our main knowledge dissemination strategy is based on a very short<br />
feedback-cycle between the FTW <strong>and</strong> industry via staff members from industrial partners<br />
that spend a certain amount of their time directly at the center. Moreover, regular full-day<br />
member tutorials open to all interested industry partners use to include presentations both<br />
on a survey <strong>and</strong> in-depth level. Similarly, external seminars <strong>and</strong> consulting activities provide<br />
further possibilities for presenting project results to a larger audience. Finally, due to the<br />
semi-academic environment we live in, lecturing technology of the future to interested<br />
students <strong>and</strong> thesis supervision is as well a part of our day-to-day business as publication<br />
work for international journals <strong>and</strong> conferences.<br />

Abstract:<br />
In order to continue to evolve 3rd Generation mobile <strong>and</strong> wireless infrastructures towards the Internet - targeting<br />
<strong>IST</strong> <strong>2000</strong> IV 5.2 "Terrestrial Wireless System <strong>and</strong> Networks", the project <strong>Moby</strong> <strong>Dick</strong> will define, implement,<br />
<strong>and</strong> evaluate an IPv6-based mobility-enabled end-to-end QoS architecture starting from the current IETF's QoS<br />
models, Mobile-IPv6, <strong>and</strong> AAA framework. A representative set of interactive <strong>and</strong> distributed multimedia<br />
applications will serve to derive system requirements for the verification, validation, <strong>and</strong> demonstration of the<br />
<strong>Moby</strong> <strong>Dick</strong> architecture in a testbed comprising UMTS, 802.11 Wireless LANs <strong>and</strong> Ethernet. In case the existing<br />
applications or the underlying architectures do not provide what is required, the necessary modification will be<br />
undertaken.<br />
The objectives of the project are split up into the following activities:<br />
• Definition of a common architecture integrating QoS, IPv6 mobility, <strong>and</strong> AAA (out of the separate<br />
architectural approaches for each component currently provided by the IETF) with respect to wireless<br />
issues.<br />
• Implementation <strong>and</strong> evaluation of an IPv6-based end-to-end technological approach to fulfil the<br />
requirements of present <strong>and</strong> future mobile communication services.<br />
• Implementation <strong>and</strong> evaluation of QoS models (e.g. Differentiated Services) in highly dynamic <strong>and</strong><br />
heterogeneous network topologies (underst<strong>and</strong>ing of QoS models is normally restricted to relatively static<br />
environments).<br />
• Definition of a suitable charging concept which would enable permanent mobile IP based services on a large<br />
scale (a strong requirement related to AAA, but currently not a topic within the IETF).<br />
• Trans-European trial to test the implementation by using SOKRATES-ERASMUS exchange students as<br />
test-users.<br />
• Actively participate in IRTF (Internet Research Task Force) AAAArch (Authentication, Authorisation, <strong>and</strong><br />
Accounting Architecture) working group, <strong>and</strong> monitor in particular ETSI, 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership<br />
Project), MWIF (Mobile Wireless Internet Forum), IEEE (in particular 802.11).<br />
• Follow <strong>and</strong> actively influence ongoing relevant IETF st<strong>and</strong>ardisation activities in particular in the working<br />
groups.<br />
