Dissemination and Use Plan Fifth Framework Project 25394 Public Engineering (IND). Under the acronym HLRS (Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart), RUS is the first German National super computer center. The HLRS hardware is planned, financed, and operated as a public-private company (operated by “hww”) comprising the debis Systemhaus, Porsche AG as well as the universities of Stuttgart, Karlsruhe, and Heidelberg. RUS is also operating the state of Baden-Württemberg science network and the campus network of the University of Stuttgart. IND research activities are concentrated on distributed systems and communication networks. Within this context and with respect to dissemination, three major fields of interest are to be mentioned. RUS has to be prepared for the time the “cellular phone generation” joins the university. Wireless and mobile technologies have to be integrated into lessons and operative services of a university with about 20000 students dispersed over the city of Stuttgart. This requires a network platform integrating wired and wireless as well as mobile technologies, including the possibility to roam between networks based on different technologies as addressed within MobyDick. From a service point of view, RUS is interested especially in the dissemination of MobDick’s AAA results. The interests of the IND are twofold: expected results in research area will be published in conferences as well as journals and introduced to standardization bodies like the IETF. RUS and the IND are highly interested in running the MobyDick field trial to give ERASMUS, SOCRATES, and especially IND’s international master students the opportunity to gain experience with new network technologies in the context of teaching. Here, interests of RUS are focussed on operational and service aspects, e.g., AAA, whereas IND is interested in including technologies into their teaching activities. Experiments of the MobyDick field trial will also contribute to University of Stuttgart’s ongoing “Virtual University Activities”. 3.2.6 GMD Fokus, Berlin, D GMD FOKUS is one of the leading research institutes in Germany. The work of FOKUS covers design, specification, implementation and consulting in the following areas: advanced network technologies and systems, global heterogeneous networking and internet technologies, mobile and broadband wireless communications, testing, interoperability and performance evaluation of distributed communication systems, interactive multimedia applications, distributed object technology, platforms and services, intelligent mobile agent technology and electronic commerce. MobyDick is one of important projects being conducted by GMD FOKUS in cooperation with other research institutes and partners from the industry. GMD FOKUS will use the results of MobyDick to evaluate and improve its ongoing development of an open and generic AAA infrastructure for all IP services towards the status of a pre-product. This will provide the basis for interested SMEs and for spin-off companies to develop products for the Telecommunications and Electronic Market industry. As a research institute GMD FOKUS actively participates in the standardization process in international (ISO, ITU-T) and industrial consortia (e.g., OMG, TMForum, DAVIC, IETF) and is intending to contribute the results and experience gained in the MobyDick project to the standardization process. The areas to be addressed are particularly AAA, Mobility and QoS in the future IP network where these factors will be instrumental in the success of IP telephony, audio/video streaming and other high bandwidth QoS enabled applications for mobile consumers. Furthermore, contributions will be made to the IRTF AAAArch group, as MobyDick looks very closely at the aspects of Authentication, Authorization and Accounting in all IP networks. The access to the network could be over Ethernet, xDSL, ISDN, WLAN or W- Page 14 of 40 Version 1.0 © Copyright 2001, the Members of the MobyDick Consortium
Fifth Framework Project 25394 Public Dissemination and Use Plan CDMA etc. MobyDick offers a unique opportunity for developing and evaluating a generic AAA infrastructure for heterogeneous all IP networks. This encompasses the inter-working and interoperability of different network technologies. Another benefit is the possibility to check the applicability and validity of the architecture being developed within the MobyDick project through trials with real-life scenarios. MobyDick is in line with the overall research plan of FOKUS concerning an open communication systems infrastructure and advanced telecommunication services management. The expected research results will improve the excellence of FOKUS through publications, workshops and conferences and will also enable it to use these results as a basis for further project acquisition (70% of the total FOKUS budget is based on externally funded industrial and research projects) and pre-product development. 3.2.7 Portugal Telecom, P Portugal Telecom Inovação, SA (PT Inovação, SA) is the branch for Research and Development (R&D) in Telecommunications within the PT group of companies. PT Inovação, SA results from the fusion of former CET with the once PT departments Inesctel and Marconi Labs, thus embedding a whole spectrum of R&D competence. This fact grants PT Inovação, SA the status of biggest Portuguese speaking company in the business of innovation and R&D in the Infocommunication area. PT Inovação, SA and its parent organization Portugal Telecom, have been the prime contractors of the RIA Consortium (Portuguese National Host) in the framework of the ACTS programme. Together with the local University, CET was one of the founding parties of the Institute of Telecommunications in Aveiro. The MobyDick project will allow PT Inovação, SA to contribute in the specification, development, demonstration and validation of future “all-IP” network solutions. PT Inovação, SA will consolidate and gain knowledge and experience in areas such as IPv6, QoS and mobility. PT Inovação, SA will use this knowledge and experience in future operation and development of new equipment, services and applications. Demand for IP guaranteed QoS is a reality that is being pushed by the observed migration of existing realtime services to IP-based networks. On the other hand, mobility (both user and terminal mobility) is a key requirement for an increasing number of users. Portugal Telecom, is deploying an IP backbone infrastructure that will support several emerging and new services. Participation in MobyDick is seen by PT Inovação, SA as a strategic positioning to acquire the right knowledge and experience, and participate in the development of required tools, methodologies and architecture to deal with the creation of a management of those services. PT Inovação, SA works also as a consultant and evaluator for PT, for the introduction of new equipment and services. The experience and knowledge obtained during project execution regarding user equipment, network services, and applications, will allow PT Inovação, SA on this task and will open new working areas. Having the know-how and experience on how to set up and manage new QoS-enabled mobile IP services will give PT Inovação, SA a strategic position to guarantee the PT group success, via innovation, in a deregulated telecommunications market. PT Inovação, SA is also very interested in publishing and disseminate in conferences, magazines and workshops the most relevant outcomes of this participation in the MobyDick project.
