Project Organisation

The AGAVE project is organised in four technical Work Packages (WPs 1-4), coordinated by a management Work Package (WP0).

 

WP1, Parallel Internets Framework, is responsible for laying down the principles, concepts and reference architecture for realising the Parallel Internets and for enabling IP-based Internet service provisioning from connectivity aspects adopting a clear separation of business roles.

 

WP2, Connectivity Service Provisioning, is responsible for specifying the interface to enable end-to-end connectivity service provisioning and facilitate the deployment of IP-based services over the Parallel Internets. WP2 undertakes the specification, design and implementation of appropriate interface components. Testing requirements for the validation of the approach will be specified and fed to WP4. Based on advances of WP3 work, implementation experience and experimental results, WP2 will validate its initial specifications and derive enhancements as appropriate.

 

WP3, Parallel Internets Engineering, undertakes the specification, design and implementation of appropriate mechanisms, algorithms and protocols for realising the Network Planes and their interconnection over the Internet, emphasising on mechanisms for service differentiation through differentiated intra- and inter-domain routing. The testing requirements for the Parallel Internets components will be specified and fed to WP4. Based on implementation experience and experimental results, WP2 will validate its initial specifications and derive enhancements as appropriate.

 

WP4, Validation and Experimentation, undertakes the experimentation activities of the project for assessing the validity and cost-effectiveness of the proposed solutions. It involves the setting-up of the required experimentation infrastructure, testbeds and simulators, the specification of appropriate evaluation scenarios and their execution.
