Title: Evolution of Future Internet Testbed: Experiences in JGN-X
Abstract:
For developing new technologies, testbed which is used for evaluating
these technologies, for accessing technical and social feasibility and
for finding use case scenarios, plays an important role. For future
internet, its testbed is necessary to play this role. However, one of
the difficulty in testbed is while providing stable infrastructure, to
introduce new technologies. In this talk, the speaker talk about the
experience of evolution of future internet testbed in JGN-X.
