ABOUT HELNET

HELNET is about the federation of heterogeneous Research Infrastructures in Greece, combined with aimed extensions in order to follow up with the most popular technologies, towards creating a wide scale and user-friendly experimental facility. The targeted technologies include but are not limited to 5G, Wireless and Wired networking, as well as Cloud Computing. HELNET offerings are highlighted in the following points:

Opportunities for a more integrated view point for carrying out ICT-related research, enabled by the federated experimentation environment, for Greek researchers.

Attractive and high-skilled environment for international researchers to join Greek research groups.

Corresponding impact creation, and position improvement in international research and experimentation frameworks.

Enhancing opportunities for SMEs for collaboration not only in pure research but also in pilot, pre-product activities enabled by the possibility of extended experimentation on a e.g. new application, further strengthened by interactions with international experimenters.

OBJECTIVES

The objectives of HELNET:

The creation of a wide scale experimental facility by federating existing Future Internet research facilities in Greece.

The adoption and extension of tools that will enable such federation.

The provisioning of user-friendly tools to experimenters worldwide for experimenting with the federated facility.

Collaboration and exchange of know-how among the Greek institutions that participate

Demonstrate the potential of the federated facility, by conducting large-scale experiments on top of the federated facilities.

Broad dissemination of the project’s outcomes worldwide, by exploiting each partner’s international links.

Create a common and unified way of experimenting with a large-scale experimental facility, enabling networking experimentation and distributed applications, incorporating research from different fields (5G, Wireless Networking, SDN, SDR, Cloud Computing).
