Non-relational data management is emerging as a critical need for the new data economy based on large, distributed, heterogeneous, and complexly structured data sets. This new data management paradigm also provides an opportunity for research results to impact young innovative companies working on new RDF and graph data management technologies to start playing a significant role in this new data economy. Standards and benchmarking are two of the most important factors for the development of new information technology, yet there is still no comprehensive suite of benchmarks and benchmarking practices for RDF and graph databases, nor is there an authority for setting benchmark definitions and auditing official results. Without them, the future development and uptake of these technologies is at risk by not providing industry with clear, user-driven targets for performance and functionality. The goal of the Linked Data Benchmark Council (LDBC) project is to create the first comprehensive suite of open, fair and vendor-neutral benchmarks for RDF/graph databases together with the LDBC foundation which will define processes for obtaining, auditing and publishing results. The core scientific innovation of LDBC is therefore to define meaningful benchmarks derived from a combination of actual usage scenarios combined with the technical insight of top database systems researchers and architects in the choke points of current technology. LDBC will bring together a broad community of researchers and RDF and graph database vendors to establish an independent authority, the LDBC foundation, responsible for specifying benchmarks, benchmarking procedures and verifying/publishing results. The forum created will become a long-surviving, industry supported association similar to the TPC. Vendors and user organisations will participate in order to influence benchmark design and to make use of the obvious marketing opportunities.

The present Internet limits the performance of applications that need real-time interaction. In part this is because the design of the network has been optimised to boost throughput, maximising efficiency for bulk applications. There is evidence that large buffers throughout the network have added to the end-to-end latency, with excessive delays severely impacting the quality experienced by users. However, changes in use have resulted in an important class of applications that now depends on timely delivery. Applications that need low latency currently require a dedicated network and/or operator traffic engineering. In response to this, RITE brings together a consortium with the research and industrial experience required to locate and explore the root causes of Internet latency. Research will specify and implement new methods to significantly reduce - or even eliminate - the effects of latency when coupled with small, but significant, changes in end-system behaviour. The benefits are expected to have no, or limited, impact on the throughput. The methods will be assessed using applications with four different use cases: one commercial financial application, one coordinated with the roll-out of a new multiplayer online game, one supporting interactive video in an access network and one evaluating web traffic over a broadband access network. Benefits are also expected for a range of current applications, including web-based collaborative tools and interactive remote control and to pave the way for a large amount of future applications. By taking the new methods to standardisation bodies, e.g. the IETF, and by implementing end-system solutions in open-source operating systems, RITE will ensure availability of the results and encourage deployment in the future Internet. RITE will therefore contribute to the evolution of the Internet and offer European businesses a competitive edge in developing and supporting next generation applications that benefit from high interactivity.

Certification, InteRnationalisation and standaRdization in cloUd Security (CIRRUS) aims to bring together representatives of industry organizations, law enforcement agencies, cloud services providers, standard and certification services organizations, cloud consumers, auditors, data protection authorities, policy makers, software component industry etc. with diverse interests in security and privacy issues in cloud computing. Different stakeholders have different expectations, views or requirements related to cloud computing. Users are worried about data portability or cloud interoperability, to ensure privacy and security when migrating their data from one cloud to another. Concerns about security in the cloud can prevent certain users, such as critical infrastructure operators, from moving their data to the cloud. Challenges coming from national legislations and cross-country agreements need to be faced by data law enforcement agencies, whilst compliance, auditing and certification are important for ICT service providers when dealing with their cloud related business. Loss of control, confidentiality, auditing and compliance implications are main concerns for Chief Information Officers. CIRRUS Consortium and Advisory Board are bringing representatives of these stakeholders together. It has an excellent balance of academic, private and public partners that enable balancing of their needs and views while maintaining the vision and high-level objectives such as bringing research project results to the market or improving trust in cyberspace. CIRRUS clouds are among the highest altitude clouds in troposphere: CIRRUS project also aims to provide “high-level, high-impact” support and coordination for European ICT security research projects. Project activities target joint standardization, certification schemes, link research projects with EU policy and strategy, internationalization, as well as industry best practices and public private cooperation initiatives.

Driven by the requirements of the emerging applications and networks, the Internet has become an architectural patchwork of growing complexity which strains to cope with the changes. Moore’s law prevented us from recognising that the problem does not hide in the high demands of today’s applications but lies in the flaws of the Internet’s original design. The Internet needs to move beyond TCP/IP to prosper in the long term, TCP/IP has outlived its usefulness. The Recursive InterNetwork Architecture (RINA) is a new Internetwork architecture whose fundamental principle is that networking is only inter-process communication (IPC). RINA reconstructs the overall structure of the Internet, forming a model that comprises a single repeating layer, the DIF (Distributed IPC Facility), which is the minimal set of components required to allow distributed IPC between application processes. RINA supports inherently and without the need of extra mechanisms mobility, multi-homing and Quality of Service, provides a secure and configurable environment, motivates for a more competitive marketplace and allows for a seamless adoption. RINA is the best choice for the next generation networks due to its sound theory, simplicity and the features it enables. IRATI’s goal is to achieve further exploration of this new architecture. IRATI will advance the state of the art of RINA towards an architecture reference model and specifications that are closer to enable implementations deployable in production scenarios. The design and implemention of a RINA prototype on top of Ethernet will permit the experimentation and evaluation of RINA in comparison to TCP/IP. IRATI will use the OFELIA testbed to carry on its experimental activities. Both projects will benefit from the collaboration. IRATI will gain access to a large-scale testbed with a controlled network while OFELIA will get a unique use-case to validate the facility: experimentation of a non-IP based Internet.

The amount of digital information in our world has been exploding and new technologies and services will continue to fuel exponential growth of large pools of data that can be captured, stored, and analyzed. Nowadays, however, tools and services to store, process and interact with data are still in their infancy, represented by scattered solutions that fall short in having a unified vision, that lack common interfaces, and that only offer best-effort services. The aim of BigFoot is to overcome current drawbacks by designing, implementing and evaluating a Platform-as-a-Service solution for processing and interacting with large volumes of data. The BigFoot stack -- which builds upon and contributes to the Apache Hadoop ecosystem and the OpenStack project, in addition to creating new open source components -- features automatic and self-tuned deployments of storage and processing services for private clouds, going beyond best-effort services currently available in the state-of-the-art. BigFoot takes a novel, cross-layer approach to system optimization, which is evaluated with a thorough experimental methodology using realistic workloads and datasets from two representative application, namely ICT Security and Smart Grid data analytics. In addition, BigFoot aims at making data interaction easy by supporting high-level languages (for batch oriented analytic tasks) and by taking a service-oriented approach to support and optimize latency sensitive queries.

Enhanced Network Security for Seamless Service Provisioning in the Smart Mobile Ecosystem (NEMESYS)

Framework: FP7 — Cooperation

The goal of NEMESYS is to research and develop novel security technologies for seamless service provisioning in the smart mobile ecosystem. Mobile and smartphone security is a fast moving field, where new vulnerabilities and resulting attacks need to be detected and analyzed as fast as possible. The attacker is always a step ahead, managing to obtain vast amounts of information by hacking computers and committing other forms of cybercrime, resulting in a billion dollar business which increases exponentially with more than 1 billion Internet users today. It is now evident that, in order to advance in the field of cyber security and counter these cyber attacks, we must become proactive and work on predicting threats and vulnerabilities to build our defense before threats materialize, rather than chase after attackers without ever being able to catch up. Thus NEMESYS will gather and analyse information about the nature of cyber attacks targeting smart mobile devices, so that appropriate countermeasures can be taken to combat them. These vulnerabilities are due to the heterogeneity of wireless interfaces, supported platforms and offered services, and we will adopt the honeypot scheme for the main types of smart phones and devices. We will develop an infrastructure to gather, detect and provide early warning of attacks on mobile devices and, eventually, understand the modus operandi of cyber-criminals that target mobile devices. By correlating the extracted information with the known patterns of attacks extracted from wireline networks, we plan reveal and identify the possible shift in the way that cyber-criminals launch attacks against smart mobile devices.

Motivation. The last decades brought an exponential increase in mobile traffic volume. This will continue and a 1000-fold increase by 2020 has been forecasted. Small-cells promise to provide the required data rates through an increased spatial utilisation of the spectrum. Problem statement. Due to strong inter-cell interference, small-cell deployments will require a high degree of coordination as offered by centralised processing. Furthermore, heterogeneous backhaul solutions will be used to connect small-cells and core network. So far, access and backhaul are individually designed and therefore not optimised. In order to support centralised processing and a heterogeneous backhaul, challenges on access and backhaul must be simultaneously tackled. Approach. iJOIN introduces the novel concept RAN-as-a-Service (RANaaS), where RAN functionality is flexibly centralised through an open IT platform based on a cloud infrastructure. iJOIN aims for a joint design and optimisation of access and backhaul, operation and management algorithms, and architectural elements, integrating small-cells, heterogeneous backhaul, and centralised processing. Additionally to the development of technology candidates across PHY, MAC, and the network layer, iJOIN will study the requirements, constraints, and implications for existing mobile networks, specifically 3GPP LTE-A. Results. iJOIN will design new network operation and management algorithms in the context of RANaaS, show their implications on 3GPP LTE, and evaluate the derived technologies with respect to four quantitative key objectives: 1) system throughput 2) energy-efficiency 3) cost-efficiency 4) utilisation-efficiency iJOIN will further impact 1) the research community by identifying new challenges, 2) business opportunities through new concepts for implementing mobile networks, and 3) standardisation through strong industry participation of all major stakeholders.

Network operators are looking for cost effective solutions to manage and upgrade their networks to meet the user experience demanded by European citizens. The backhauling infrastructure is becoming a bottleneck. E3Network will design an E-band transceiver for the backhaul infrastructure of the future networks. It will work in the E-band, which enables highly focused “pencil beam” transmissions and huge bandwidth. The pencil-beam property facilitates a high degree of frequency reuse in the deployment of backhaul links and reduces EMF exposure of European citizens. The transceiver will use modern digital multi-level modulations to achieve high spectral efficiency. This together with the huge bandwidth will enable high capacities above 10 Gbps. The RF analogue front-end of the transceiver will be a highly integrated circuit using advanced SiGe BiCMOS technology, which enables energy and cost effectiveness. However, a consequence of transistors length reduction is an exponential increase of process variations, leading to over-constrained designs to guarantee sufficient post-fabrication performance yield. In order to achieve the required performance, a mixed analogue-digital design approach together with novel signal processing methods will be applied. Research will be driven by the end-user and industrial partners to ensure that it address the needs of the future generations of the mobile network infrastructure. The potential for an increased economic and energy efficiency of access/transport infrastructures will be illustrated by a prototype integrated in the network providing communication over 1 km with availability of 99.995%. The developed backhaul technology will strengthen the position of European Industry in the field of network infrastructure technology. It will facilitate the transition to smaller and more energy efficient base stations, which are key for the novel network topologies needed to address the new patterns of usage of citizens.

To support the booming demand in mobile 4G data services, the MOTO project proposes to design, dimension, implement, and evaluate a new network architecture in support of dynamic traffic offloading strategies to relieve a congested 4G/LTE network. Going far beyond present infrastructure based offloading approaches, MOTO explores an additional layer of disruptive offloading protocols that make use of direct terminal-to-terminal communications. MOTO definitely takes an operator point of view to opportunistic networking by keeping terminal based offloading under the control of the operator’s infrastructure. It explores and evaluates distributed offloading control protocols, it investigates coordination strategies between mobile and broadband Internet operators, it designs and implements a distributed trust and security policy, it derives formal capacity enhancements estimates and works toward understanding mobility and contact opportunities. MOTO adopts an experimental methodology, providing enhancements to an open source simulation environment, and carrying out practical experimentations on an operator's large scale integrated testbed for architecture and protocol validation. The operators’ vision, requirements, and experience are backed by a strong team of experts in wireless networking technologies both from academia and industry. Thanks to MOTO offloading solutions, the operators will decide how much bandwidth to allocate for supporting crowds of users sharing data hungry services in a flexible and efficient way, and will be able to handle peaks of traffic without overprovisioning the infrastructure and without blocking the service to its users.
