JRA2: Emergence Theories and Design
Methodologies
Network of Excellence in Internet Science (EINS)
1st REVIEW
Brussels, 12th April 2013
Dirk Trossen (Cambridge University)
FP7-ICT-2011.1.6-288021 EINS
Network of
Excellence in
Internet Science
Objectives
 Bring together various communities involved
in the design of Internet solutions
 Increase the understanding of how various
design methodologies relate to each other
 Distill a set of rigorous design methods that
are directly anchored into a deep scientific
understanding
 Gather a set of tools (from existing efforts in
this space)
 Inform the various stakeholders

1st EINS Review, Brussels, 12th April, 2013
Tasks
 R2.1 Distilling Design methodologies


Lead: UPASSAU
E.g., development of methodology based on quantitative measures
for self-organisation by PASSAU
 R2.2 Developing a Set of Design Tools


Lead: Cambridge
E.g., work on combining Turing and information-centric networking
in collaboration with CalTech
 R2.3 Exemplifying Use of Design Tools


Lead: IT Innovation
E.g., the methodology based on quantitative measures for selforganisation, developed by PASSAU, has been applied to traffic
scenario use cases in order to demonstrate the applicability for
design and evaluation. The work will be presented at the IWSOS’13.

Links with other activities
 Links with




JRA1 – to be strengthened in the future
JRA3 – needs stronger links (e.g., common workshop on evidence
and design)
JRA5 – needs stronger links regarding socio-economic impact
Links to FIArch group
 Prof. C. Dovrolis visited CERTH with
seminar presentation
 Research activities and projects



UPASSAU links with SOCIONICAL and All4Green
UCAM lead of PURSUIT project with work on new functional model
for information-centric architectures
IT Innovation lead of OPTET workpackage devising models of
socio-economic trust related to FI system design and operation

Future Plans
 Establishing repository and platform for
engagement
 Joint workshop with JRA3 on role of
evidence in design methodologies
 Second JRA2 workshop based on insights
from inaugural workshop
 Upcoming deliverables

Conclusions
 Setting up the community is hard
 Engaging
beyond EINS is even harder
 Including the ‘design community’ beyond CS is
challenging, too
 First JRA2 workshop aimed at engagement
 Insights
were very valuable for future events
 Format but also content is now more deeply
understood
 Deliverables are underway
 Platform
setup being discussed, will commence
soon
