It is increasingly recognised that the current Internet architecture is being challenged by unprecedented scale, new applications, untethered mobile wireless access, and domain-specific network scenarios and technologies including MANETs (mobile ad hoc networks) and wireless sensor networks. At the same time we increasingly rely on the Internet for all aspects of our lives. The ability to evolve the Internet architecture to meet these challenges depends in part on the ability to test proposed protocols, services and configurations in a realistic setting at an appropriate scale. This requires testbeds that have significant scale, geographic scope, and that have a programmable Internet waist to permit experimentation with new addressing, forwarding, routing, and signalling paradigms. The GENI (Global Environments for Network Innovation) program in the US, and FIRE (Future Internet Research and Experimentation) programme in Europe have recognised and are funding this need. With this special issue of Computer Networks, we solicit papers that that describe the results of experimentation on the architecture, implementation, and deployment of Future Internet (FI) testbeds. While we are especially interested in experimental results, we also seek insightful papers that describe testbed architectures and their deployment issues, challenges, and experience.

About the Future Internet Testbeds special issue

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
•    programmable FI testbed architectures
•    scalability in node count, interconnection complexity, and geographic scope
•    interoperation and extension across research networks (such as Internet2, NLR, GÉANT2, JANET, JGN-X, and KOREN/KREONET)
•    heterogeneity and FI testbeds for domain-specific networks
•    alternative communication paradigms (e.g. packets vs. circuits)
•    deployment challenges and experiences
•    federation of heterogeneous testbeds with one another and with
•    instrumentation and measurement of FI testbeds
•    management of FI testbeds that are distributed across administrative domains
•    security, use policy, and broad research community access to FI testbeds
•    experiment design, methodology, and verification
•    experimental results that could not have been achieved on traditional end-system or localized testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab or Emulab)

Submission format

The submitted papers must be clearly written in excellent English and describe original research which is not published nor currently under review by other journals or conferences. Author guidelines for preparation of manuscript can be found at undefinedwww.elsevier.com/locate/comnet/
Submission Guideline
All manuscripts and any supplementary material should be submitted through the Elsevier Editorial System (EES). The authors must select as “Future Internet Testbeds” when they reach the “Article Type” step in the submission process. The EES website is located at: undefinedhttp://ees.elsevier.com/comnet/

The multi-mode, loosely-coupled, user-centric nature of modern communications and services and the diversity of operator business models means that modern end-to-end service provision frequently crosses heterogeneous management and administrative domains. Thus, management approaches that can be applied across organisational boundaries are increasingly important in a wide range of application areas. These range from algorithmic approaches which adapt to the observed behaviour of third-party systems, based on game-theoretic
approaches or other predictive models, to explicit organisational federations which adopt coherent solutions and management models to facilitate interoperability among multiple independent organisations.

Recent years have seen researchers investigate a wide range of issues relating to federated and cooperatively managed systems. For example, research in policy-based management and Service Level Agreement frameworks increasingly addressesfederated, inter-organisational
relationships. Cooperative management research focusses on predictive algorithms that can facilitate non-destructive cross-domain coordination in the absence of explicit federation agreements. Grid and Cloud computing research addresses the problem of making heterogeneous, distributed computing resources available in a flexible manner in order to offer infrastructure as a service. In the security domain, researchers develop trust management solutions on top of heterogeneous, distributed security systems. Further work in the service oriented architectures, data federation and the software engineering communities also addresses aspects relating to the negotiation, deployment and lifecycle management
of federations.

For the special issue we solicit papers presenting novel contributions in the following topic areas:

- Governance Mechanisms for federated environments
- Policy-based Management in federations
- Collaborative management, algorithmic adaptation,game theoretic approaches, predictive modelling.
- Modelling cross domain relationships, incudling Information Models, Formal Specifications, Languages for Federation
- Distributed trust management and federated security systems
- Data federation Techniques
- Semantic technologies, Semantic mapping and linked data
- Information Security in federated environments
- Management of inter-cloud federations and public/private hybrid clouds
- Grid computing management
- Federations for third party management of Home Area Network devices
- Software Engineering for Federated Systems, including Tool chains, Design by Contract, Model Driven Engineering and Design Patterns
