Workshop co-organised by FI-CONTENT and EXPERIMEDIA projects during next Future Internet Week in Aalborg -Danemark. Wednesday 9 May 9.00-12.30 (meeting room Laugsstuen).
Registration is now open on the FIA website. Please note that the charge for attendance of the Workshop is included in the Future Internet Week registration charge.
Short summary of the workshop: More than 50%(growing) of internet traffic is now represented by video and audio content. Media applications and services are key drivers for Future Internet infrastructures capabilities. Through this session, we propose to built on early results achieved by the FI-CONTENT and EXPERIMEDIA projects. Several potential testbeds will be presented opening the conversation: how testbeds can support pilots, with special consideration to challenges such as user partisipation and architecture/integration approaches allowing the introduction of innovative technologies(generic and specific enablers).
Preliminary agenda
Speaker: Michael Boniface – IT Innovation/EXPERIMEDIA
- FI-CONTENT objectives: Media and content usage area for FI-PPP
Media traffic represents already more that 50% of internet. The objective of FI-CONTENT is to identify a representative set of use case scenarios that can benefit from the expected progresses that the future internet will bring to the society.
Speaker: Henri FOURDEUX- Technicolor/FI-CONTENT coordinator
- EXPERIMEDIA objectives: FIRE facility for social and networked media experiments
Offering collective and participative experiences to real-world and online communities is at the heart of the Future Media Internet and forms an essential part of entertainment, collaborative working, education, product and service innovation and advertising. EXPERIMEDIA aims to explore new forms of social interaction and rich media experiences through experiments and pilots conducted at live events offered by culturally and economically important Smart Venues.
Speaker: Michael Boniface – IT Innovation/EXPERIMEDIA
The work of FI-CONTENT is based on studying innovative use case scenarios with demanding technology and network performances. 5 important content areas, spanning future uses of AV, games, Web, metadata and user created content, are considered and will demonstrate usage beyond current state of the art.
Speaker: George Wright – BBC/FI-CONTENT
- Key enabling technologies for media scenario experimentations
From the use case scenarios a technical analysis is performed, in order to identify the relevant technologies needed to implement those scenarios into services to the users. Such technology “enablers “ contribute to a service platform architecture which is discussed with network experts.
Speaker: Farid Benbadis – Thales/FI-CONTENT
- Accessing and utilising Smart Venues for experiments and pilots
Technologists innovating in novel Future Media Internet applications and services need to rapidly validate ideas and assumptions by transitioning prototypes in the lab to pilots integrated and operated in real-world ecosystems. To integrate technology into an existing ecosystem requires a transition in maturity level and technologists must overcome both technical (e.g. interoperability, integration, etc) and socio-economic barriers (e.g. legal, regulatory, and commercial) to ensure insights gained through experimentation are representative and robust. EXPERIMEDIA directly tackles these issues by offering experiments Smart Venue infrastructure enhanced with generic FMI technologies and a methodology to pull it all together that considers the important relationship between Content Lifecycle (How we experience) and Experiment lifecycle (How we learn).
Speaker: Simon Crowe – IT Innovation
An important task of FI-CONTENT is to prepare an experimentation to validate the enablers identified in the project as the key technologies for the realisation of future media internet. That work contemplates several testbeds that will prepare such experimentation. As a starting point, a set of several testbed infrastructure has been identified, that will in a further project phase be deployed to the needed scale in view of life tests. FI-CONTENT will also activate user communities for the large scale experiments in phase 2 and has access to already established regional user focus groups. The user community bootstrapping activities will be fed with all the discussions and trials which have been performed so far by the focus groups in phase 1, in order to build on top of their results.
EXPERIMEDIA testbed e.Gg.Schladming Ski resort will be presented.
Speaker: Pierre-Yves Danet - Orange/FI-CONTENT; Carmen Mac Williams - Grassroot Arts/FI-CONTENT; Peter Ljungstrand - Interactive Institute/EXPERIMEDIA
- Open discussion with participants of the Workshop
- Conclusion of the workshop
