Overview

This book contains papers describing the major scientific achievements supported by European funding in the area of Future Internet. It is published in the context of FIA, the Future Internet Assembly\"1\", which is structured to permit interactions across technical domains from researchers and other stakeholders active in Future Internet research. FIA holds two meetings per year and calls on those involved in relevant funded research projects to participate actively and to steer its work. On 31 March, 2008 the Bled declaration \"Towards a European approach to the Future Internet\"\"2\" was officially presented at the FIA Conference in Bled, Slovenia: \"In the future, even more users, objects, services and critical information infrastructures will be networked through the Future Internet which will underpin an ever larger share of our modern and global economies. It istherefore time to strengthen and focus European activities on the Future Internet to maintain Europe's competitiveness in the global marketplace. A significant change is required and the European Internet scientific and economic actors, researchers, industrialists, SMEs, users, service and content providers, now assert the urgent necessity to redesign the Internet, taking a broad multidisciplinary approach, to meet Europe'ssocietal and commercial ambitions.\" \"1\" For more information see http://www.future-internet.eu \"2\" For more information see http://www.future-internet.eu/publications/bled-declaration.html.
