FIRE Engineering Workshop, 6-7 November 2012, Ghent, Belgium

FIRE is approaching experimentation from two angles: the FIRE facilities, i.e. test beds or groups of test beds that offer services to experimenters for advanced Future Internet related experimentations; and FIRE research projects, which investigate new concepts and issues in relation with Future Internet, and can also, perform Future Internet experimentations. Supporting a wide range of innovative experimentations allows the right pieces to be put together. In this respect FIRE is a critical enabler.
In this context the Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE) Initiative under the lead of the FIRESTATION support action organises a two days engineering workshop that will give the opportunity to interested experts meet and discuss the different aspects of the endeavour. Prospective authors from academia and industry are invited to submit extended abstracts of results from research and experimentation work, demonstrating best practices and approaches to experimentation and novel use of experimentation facilities. Experimental facilities providers are invited to submit extended abstracts that demonstrate details of advanced capabilities of their testbeds. Two categories of papers will be considered:

• Advanced functions of experimental facilities
• Experimentation results from the research community

The workshop proceedings will be published online at www.ict-fire.eu web site. Selected contributions will be invited for a peer review publication (TBD). Of particular interest will be contributions that demonstrate results of experimentation work.
