The SMARTFIRE project, a two-year effort initiated by the European Union in November 2013, aims to develop large-scale experimental facilities dedicated to cutting-edge Internet research.
EU partners are collaborating with South Korea and Australia on the project. To encourage joint experimentation, a shared experimental facility is currently under construction in Europe and South Korea. The facility should provide experts with the opportunity to conceive and implement innovative ideas.
Two real-life scenarios will help demonstrate the potential of shared European and South Korean research, with the first scenario involving distributed Internet of Things measurement aggregation and processing; this scenario will show how distributed measurements gathered from distant locations will be stored and processed in a cloud computing system, which users access without any knowledge of location. The second scenario involves video streaming over different technologies, and how to alleviate problems with streaming applications caused by bottlenecks of distant intercontinental links.
