Future Internet Assembly
25-26.10.2011
The European Future Internet Assembly (FIA), is a collaboration between projects that have recognised the need to strengthen European activities on the Future Internet to maintain European competitiveness in the global marketplace. FIA events are organised twice a year as a conference where people from the different research domains meet each other and discuss cross cutting research results and trends in an interactive manner.

Currently FIA brings together around 150 research projects that are part of Challenge 1 of the ICT programme of 7th Framework Programme. These projects are advancing the state of the art in: The network of the future, Cloud Computing, Internet of Services and Advanced Software Engineering, Internet-connected objects, Trustworthy ICT, Networked Media and Search Systems, Socio-economic considerations for the Future Internet, Application domains for the Future Internet, Future Internet Research and Experimentation.

FIA is open to all researchers engaged in Future Internet research to contribute and participate towards FIA's goals.

3D

Krzysztof Kurowski (PSNC Poland), Ebroul Izquierdo (QMUL, Coordinator of NoE 3DLife)

Virtual worlds, 3D video, 3D multiview, simulators, gaming, etc. are now a part of everyday life for many people on the Internet but there are still many, many very difficult challenges whether in terms of search or network efficiencies or real time rendering, etc. This session will look at future scenarios and challenges in the area of 3D.

Connected TV

Ralf Neudel (IRT, Editor “NEM Strategic Research Agenda"), Federico Alvarez (UPM, Coordinator of NextMedia)

In this session, the focus will be put on portraying the evolving landscape of Connected TV in Europe. A technology overview will be presented and the current market situation in Europe will be explained including a quick outlook on future trends and open challenges in this domain.

Social Media

Oscar Mayora (Create-Net), Paul Moore (Atos)

It is becoming more and more difficult to clearly separate the social networks from the media internet.
Google is Google search but it is also Youtube and Google+. Facebooks goal is to become the gateway to internet media (Spotify and Netflix now available from inside Facebook for example.) Is Daily Motion a social network or a video platform? Location-based social networks and real-world sensing (Pachube) are merging online and physical worlds. As well, social media are rapidly expanding to business media as companies come to realize the power and efficiencies of social media to resolve many of today’s business problems.

Business Models and Wrap up

Paul Moore (Atos)

More and more the question of business models is coming to the fore in any discussion of the Future Media Internet. The battle between Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc. for the hearts and minds (but especially wallets!) of internauts over the next 10 years is partly a struggle for technological supremacy but just as important will be the struggle for business model supremacy.

In each of the 25 minute segments the presentations will occupy about half of the time and the audience will be asked to contribute with comments, questions of or for the presenters and questions of their own for the audience.
