The vision of EVERGROW - ever-growing global networks, their provisioning, repair and unique functions - is to invent methods and systems, and build infrastructure for measurement, mock-up and analysis of network traffic, topology and logical structure, so that we can start now to address the opportunities presented by the Internet of 2025.
In 2025 the world's data networks and communications facilities will not only connect us with all the world's knowledge, but will mediate much business, consumer and scholarly activity. We know a great deal about the mechanics of dealing with this complexity, its critical tools and its difficulties. In particular we realize that what are now highly manual processes must all be automated and distributed. Our task in EVERGROW is to lift our understanding of these problems and processes to the highest level possible, so that their management can flow from fundamental, scientific principles. The EVERGROW consortium believes that complex systems research will give us these principles.
EVERGROW is organized in five Subprojects. SP1 covers measurement and modelling of internet topology and traffic. SP2 will provide an infrastructure support for the project. SP3 will build self-healing services. SP4 is complex systems research. SP5 is market mechanisms. EVERGROW is coordinated with the other three IPs in the complex systems research proactive initiative.
Funding Agency: Integrated Project. Funded by the European Commission, Framework VI, IST/FET Complex Systems Initiative.
Role: The TUC team participates in the subproject "Decentralized Self-healing Services".
