What  can  FIRE  offer  ?  [Future  Internet  Research  and  Experimenta;on]  

Building  large-­‐scale  experimenta5on  facili5es  to  support  both  medium-­‐  and  long-­‐  term  research  on  networks  and  services  by  gradually  federa5ng  exis5ng  and  new  testbeds  for  emerging  or  future  internet  technologies    

Some  areas:    

•  Networking  (fixed,  wireless,  mobile)  •  Internet  of  Things  (sensor  networks,  …)  •  Cloud  infrastructure  (IaaS,  PaaS,  SaaS)  •  Advanced  service  plaJorms

IBBT iLab

iLab.u (User experience design & evaluation) observes reactions and experiences of future users in a professional lab environment. iLab.u identifies problem areas and suggests improvements.

iLab.t (Technology center) provides lab infrastructure to evaluate technical feasibility, performance, and service quality of ICT innovations at the earliest possible stage.

iLab.o (Open innovation in ICT) helps to set up a large-scale trial outside the lab environment. Representative users get the chance to test ICT innovations over a longer period of time in their daily environment.

A  specific  case:  TV  Kiosk  

Case:  Home  for  the  Elderly  “De  Vijvers”  

Important:    •  Social  Inclusion  (other  residents,  family,  friends)  •  get information (photo’s, latest

news, …) •  play together (very simple games)

•  Personal  Safety  (is  there  somebody  to  help  me  ?)

  Next steps   Turn iLab.t hardware/software into fully-

fledged prototype (typ. by industry)   Large scale trials in real living environment   ‘Experience’ research   Refine solution

  More advanced user research   Improved technical design

  …   Initiate product into the market   …   Only when mature product, move to Smart

City applications (full industrial deployment)
