Winternet - A Swedish Initiative for Advanced Internet Research
|
|
|
Winternet is a research programme aiming to enhance the Internet
infrastructure to better accommodate todays requirements. Examples of
the requirements are commercial (how to charge for a service),
mobility (both for terminals and services), network scalability and
ease of use (both for users and operators).
The programme has three research areas addressing key research issues
in the evolution of the Internet infrastructure:
- Routing architectures, which addresses scalability problems with
today's routing and routers,
- Service architectures and application overlays, which aims for an
evolved overall Internet architecture, including a service
architecture for the deployment and management of application
services, and
- Self-managed networks and terminals, which aims at simplifying
and automating configuration and management for both users and network
operators.
Winternet is a collaboration between SICS, Uppsala
University, Luleå University of
Technology and the Royal Institute of
Technology. Winternet is a three year programme funded by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic
Research.
The Winternet project proposal is avaliable in PDF format.

The Winternet partners have received a two-year
continuation grant from SSF. The continuation will focus on
prototyping, consolidation of the results from the first three years,
and dissemination of the results to industry and the scientific
community.
