Integration meetings were planned for WP2 and WP3 and the next plenary meeting was scheduled for June to be located in Madrid. The social event was a very interesting tour of the beautiful historical city of Heidelberg. ]]> http://pii.tssg.org/2009/05/4th_pii_plenary_project_meetin_1.html http://pii.tssg.org/2009/05/4th_pii_plenary_project_meetin_1.html News/Events Thu, 21 May 2009 10:40:42 +0000 The main objectives of this meetin are to • to progress the work in the running work packages, especially WP2, WP3, WP4, and two tasks in WP1 • to prepare for the project technical assessment (review) scheduled for January 2009 • to finalise the first demonstration, potentially have it working during the meeting. This an important meeting in the run up to the review and TSSG will attend and actively partake in the technical discussions in both Wp2 and Wp3, where they have been visibly active to date. The social event is an excursion to santa in lapland , so I am sure all will definitely be looking forward to that . ]]> http://pii.tssg.org/2008/12/pii_3rd_plenary_meeting_oulu_f.html http://pii.tssg.org/2008/12/pii_3rd_plenary_meeting_oulu_f.html News/Events Mon, 01 Dec 2008 17:17:13 +0000 The PANLAB II - 2nd Architectural Workshop in Berlin took place on 10th November in T-Systems. This very important meeting was a follow up to the inital architectural meeting with its aim to consolidate the PII architecture and definition of the entities required for 3rd party testsites and clusters. It was a productive meeting with all wp2 partners participating. This intensive architectural meeting then continued in Paris , with various aspects of PII WP3 up for discussion on the agenda. Here the meeting was hosted at Orange Labs premises on the 11th and 12th of november. The main outcome of this meeting was to prioritise and clarify exact details for development of the teagle tool having researched the current state of art technologies that could be used in the development phase. This meeting was very important in progressing the definition of the teagle tool in the PII project to the next level of specification and initial development. http://pii.tssg.org/2008/12/wp2_architectural_meeting_berl.html http://pii.tssg.org/2008/12/wp2_architectural_meeting_berl.html News/Events Mon, 01 Dec 2008 16:46:18 +0000 This meeting took place over a 3 day period with parallel sessions taking place to maximise the time as best as possible. It was a successful meeting which actively worked towards progressing the tasks and activities within panlabs II and keeping the project aligned with the overall PII roadmap schedule for the coming months. ]]> http://pii.tssg.org/2008/10/pii_2nd_plenary_meeting_update.html http://pii.tssg.org/2008/10/pii_2nd_plenary_meeting_update.html News/Events Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:11:12 +0000 Panlbs II second plenary meeting is scheduled to take place in Athens, 29th September to 1st October.This project meeting will be hosted and organised by BlueChip Technologies.

The testbed federation includes four core innovation clusters and three satellite clusters, with TSSG being one of the main satellite clusters in the project. PII will develop and deploy effective mechanisms and technologies to enable a functioning federation of existing testbeds. This will provide added value to users of existing local testbeds, and it will prove that federation is a model for the establishment of a long-term sustainable, large-scale and diverse testing infrastructure for (tele-)communications technologies, services and applications in Europe. In particular PII will: - Develop mechanisms and tools to describe, store, locate and orchestrate testing services as well as means to automatically provide composite testbeds across multiple administrative domains. - Develop and elaborate mechanisms to combine and accommodate future clean-slate approaches and provide testing services in a network-agnostic manner. - Define a common abstract control framework, which enables the interconnection of diverse testbeds. - Establish trust across the federation by means of quality assurance processes and tools. - ntegrate the concept of User Driven Innovation. - Execute a techno-socio-economic study to assess the long-term sustainability of the federation model. PII’s testbed federation infrastructure will build on the legal, operational, and technical framework developed by the Panlab SSA in FP6. The 20 partners constitute a highly competent, well-balanced consortium of SMEs, associations, academic institutions as well as large manufacturers and network operators, who will mobilise the critical mass at European level to achieve the project objectives.
