1. FIND: Future Internet Design PI Meeting November 8-9, 2006 Darleen Fisher CISE National Science Foundation dlfisher@nsf.gov

2. 2 Future Internet Design (FIND) Creating the Internet you want in 10-15 years

3. 3 The Future Internet: Worthy of our societys trustsecurity and availability –Even for managing and operating critical infrastructures Provides a bridge between physical and virtual worlds –Via instrumented and managed sensorized physical environment Privacy preserving in environment of pervasive sensing, computing, content, datamining... Suitable for tomorrows technologies Manageable and usable Capable of applications support –Content-rich, storage, services, realtime, etc. Economically viable Fosters a social world in which we would want to live

4. 4 What is Different This Time? Clean-slate approach –To overcome Internet ossification –Research not constrained by the features of the current Internet –But does not mandate rejecting what currently works A comprehensive coordinated effort –Ability to try different approaches (We do not have a preconceived idea of what they are) Ability to experiment at scale –With real users and applications

5. 5 Success Scenarios Internet evolution influenced by clean-slate approach Alternate Internet architecture emerges –Alternate architecture(s) coexist with the current Internet –Virtualization becomes the norm with plurality of architectures –Single architecture emerges and dominates New services and applications enabled Invigorate the research community –creativity unbound by current Internet, design architectures and build large systems Many other payoffs--some unexpected

6. 6 FIND - Different Process Goal oriented Future Internet –Not typical for NSF research programs –Area has a longer timescale with sustained funding Three phases -- iterative and overlapping –Exploration of architectural components and 1 st cut overarching architectures –Convergence into multiple full-scale architectures –Experimentation of architectures at scale Competitive cooperation model –Competition – Proposal reviews –Cooperation – Among awardees Regular meetings -- three times a year Commitment to openness and transparency

7. 7 Stages of Research Beginning in 2006 26 of 98 projects awarded –some 1 year seed investments NeTS = $40M FIND = ~$15M (38% of NeTS)

8. 8 FIND 2007 NSF 07-507; January 22, 2007 deadline FIND project descriptions at: http://nsf-find.cs.umn.eduhttp://nsf-find.cs.umn.edu First FIND PI meetings –Begin to create a FIND community and identify areas of commonality and differences, open research areas –Create new architectures –Nurture creativity and architectural thinking in future generations of researchers through enriched experiences for graduate students –Establish a process for including FIND-like researchers from industry, international and academics funded elsewhere

9. 9 Challenges How are network architectures created? –Are they envisioned or composed? Individuals vision? Small group process? Community effort? –Does one start with an overall framework and flesh it out? –Or is an architecture composed of network elements? Does an element choice determine the architecture? Can components be reused by different architectures? –Can architectures be dynamically composed from building blocks? Not presuming a process or the outcome –Expect will emerge over the course of FIND

10. 10 Challenges How does FIND enable the creation of architectures? –FIND PI Meetings What format/content works? Should there be focused additional or alternative meetings? How to add researchers funded elsewhere? Creative ways to engage graduate students How ensure newcomers are first class citizensno first settler royalty

11. 11 Challenges Broader Impacts –How ensure that students and young faculty are safe to work in the FIND area? –How can FIND group enable publications and conferences in this area? –How will FIND impact GENI? Contribute to GENI Science Plan now How to make sure FIND architectures inform GENI Impact on Future FIND Solicitations –What topics/components are completely missing from the FIND portfolio? –Where would competing approaches to current portfolio be healthy?

12. 12 Challenges Broader Impacts –How ensure that we build a society we want to live in? Security –Can you make the Future Network inherently secure/robustin cyber war no distinction between military and civilian –Is it safe for what runs on it e.g. critical infrastructures? Privacy –(Revocable?) privacy-preserving mechanisms –With data mining, are there mechanisms for spyglass into how information being collected? Used? How correct the data? Social control vs open-society –Who controls content, access to content and sources, collects data on access records and content (e.g. traffic analysis for predatory behavior)

13. 13 NeTS Program Directors 2007 FINDDarleen Fisher & Allison Mankin NBDDarleen Fisher WNDavid Goodman (leaves 2/06) –Recruiting new PD with wireless networking expertise NOSSDavid Du

14. 14 Allison Mankin Co-program director FIND (with Darleen Fisher) Co-program director GENI (with Guru Parulkar) –Consultant, Shinkuro, Inc., Bell Labs, USC/ISI, NRL, U. Wisc (visiting scientist), MITRE –Author of many published networking research papers –Co-editor IPng: Internet Protocol Next Generation 1995 –Co-Director, IETF Process for Selection of the Next Generation Internet Protocol –Director, CAIRN (successor to DARTnet) –Internet2 Abilene Technical AC –Area Director, Internet Engineering Steering Group –Chair, IETF Geolocation Privacy WG (ongoing) –ICANN Security & Stability Committee –Member of various boards, directorates, and working groups

15. 15 David Clark FIND Architecture and Outreach Coordinator Remain a member of the research community, but work with NSF & community –Plan PI meetings –Identify FIND research priorities –Lead FIND team-building –Help FIND researchers frame new architectures –Outreach to researchers funded elsewhere –Outreach to international FIND-like researchers –Provide linkage between FIND and GENI

16. 16 FIND Coordination and Planning Committee Focused community input into PI meetings, outreach, etc. –Paul Francis, Cornell –Jim Kurose, UMass –Jen Rexford, Princeton –Srini Seshan, CMU –Vern Paxson, ICSI
