25 June 2012, Brussels, Belgium

Venue: European Commission, Avenue de Beaulieu 25, Room 1
Registration: 2ndfiaroadmappingopenworkshop.eventbrite.com

The Future Internet Assembly Working Group on Research Roadmapping is organising a workshop to review and extend the current FIA Research Roadmap as a core input to the next EU Framework Programme ("Horizon 2020"). The workshop will be an opportunity to present new major research themes that addressing the Future Internet and to comment on those described in the current roadmap document. The workshop will comprise a mix of short presentations and interactive debate, building the results of the first workshop held in 2011.  The current version of the roadmap has been released to the public domain and is available for download at:

fisa.future-internet.eu/index.php/FIA_Research_Roadmap

The content of the research roadmap has been contributed from the FIA Research Roadmap Working group and by members of the FIA community, edited by Markus Fiedler [Blekinge Institute of Technology], Anastasius Gavras [EURECOM], Nick Papanikolaou [HP Labs], Hans Schaffers [ESoCE-Net], and Nick Wainwright [HP Labs].

We are soliciting additional contributions and comments on the content of the roadmap, with the aim of describing a clear vision and understanding of technology changes, challenges and solutions for the Future Internet. The roadmap is expected to help  policymakers shape research and funding priorities for Future Internet research.

In particular, we invite short papers reviewing the content of the roadmap (Notes or  Commentaries, maximum 2 pages) and short papers identifying research topics that are missing from the roadmap, which members of the community feel are important (Problem Area Papers, maximum 3 papers including references). For papers presenting topics that are missing from the roadmap, authors should make sure to include 3-5 bibliographical references to the literature. Authors can submit more than one Problem Area paper, and all are encouraged to submit both a Note/Commentary and a Problem Area Paper. All papers should be formatted using the LNCS Word Template (link below).

The proceedings of the workshop will be published as part of the FIA Research Roadmap and authors of contributions will be acknowledged explicitly in the final report, to be made available on the FIA Research Roadmap Portal. Papers will be selected by the FIA Research Roadmapping Working Group for presentation at the workshop.
