I just noticed that the European FP7 4WARD project site is now up and running. In short,
4WARD is a project in the European 7th Framework Program Call 1 and partly funded by EU. It belongs to Objective ICT-2007-1.1 “Network of the Future” and started January 2008, with a first phase of 2 Years. The total size is 23.2 million euro corresponding to approximately 180 person-years.
4WARD has six work packages, and the one that interests me most is obviously the third one – Network Virtualisation (VNet). An overview of the project can be found here.
Viva la “network virtualization“.

Last Tuesday our on-going investigation on network virtualization has taken a formal shape after the formation of the eNVy project. For anyone interested, eNVy stands for NV or network virtualization, all credits to Fida. (I think at some point I thought about eNVious, but that’s just me being myself)
Members of eNVy will be working on different aspects of network virtualization, ranging from theoretical foundation to real-life implementation.
Right now eNVy is headed by Prof. Raouf Boutaba, and consists of five members: Constantine, Fida, Muntasir, Nabeel, and I. Hopefully we will be having regular project meetings starting next week.
I will be posting updates in this blog regularly.
