SEA 1.1	Electronic Dissemination : Euro-NF Web Site and Group Communication.	The objectives are to extend and maintain the web sites, keeping information up-to-date and enhancing ergonomics when needed. The major goal of the activity is to offer a continuous support to the existing tools, with improved functionalities.		Daniel Kofman
SEA 2.1	Standardization Activities	NON-ACTIVE SINCE JULY 2009		Yaakov Stein
SEA 3.1	Transfer of knowledge: Publications of White Papers, Special Issues, and Tutorials	Euro-NF implements publications on specific topics that are selected based on their relevance and timeliness, including white papers, journal special issues, and tutorials. The task of this SEA activity is to collect the information about the relevant publications from the members of Euro-NF. A coherent structure for the information will be created, which is in line with the overall research activity structure of the network. The information will be made publicly available through the Euro-NF web site.		Jorma Virtamo / Samuli Aalto / Pasi Lassila
SEA 5.1	Euro-NF Summer Schools	see IA 6.1		Guenter Haring
SEA 6.1	NGI Conferences	The conference “NGI 20nn” will continue to be organized annually. The main objective of this conference is to provide a forum for the presentation of high quality, peer-reviewed papers relating to the modelling, design and engineering of the future Internet networks. The conference scope mirrors that of Euro-NF and covers network architecture, traffic engineering management and control, cost effective and reliable multi-layer network design, experimental evaluations, mathematical modelling and the evaluation of socio-economic impacts. Previous conferences of this series have been successfully organized by the networks of excellence Euro-NGI/FGI in Rome (2005), Valencia (2006), Trondheim (2007) and Krakow (2008).		Roberto Sabella
SEA 6.2	Open Workshop on Future Internet 'EuroView'	The workshop will take place once a year and will be organized by participants to JRA.1. Exact time will be determined as early as possible in order to minimize the risk of timing conflicts (probably in July). Thus, calls for papers and participation within the network can be issued in the proper time. The workshop will be prepared and held. Its contributions (papers and resentations) will be collected into proceedings. The workshop will also be evaluated with respect to its integration and dissemination results.		Tobias Hossfeld
SEA 6.3	Open Workshop on Traffic and Congestion Control	The workpackage SEA 6.3 will organize a workshop every year on the broad subject of traffic control and congestion control in the future Internet. These are common themes and objectives of planned work in joint research activities on quantitative methods for traffic engineering taking account new technology, new usages and new networking paradigms and architectures. The workshop will be a vehicle for the early dissemination of Euro-NF results and is intended to foster interaction between the work packages considering traffic modelling and network performance in different contexts and from alternative points of view.		Patrick Brown
SEA 6.4	Open Workshop on Network Control and Optimization 'NET-COOP'	The NET-COOP workshop series aim at developing research on control and optimisation of networks, ranging from performance evaluation and optimisation of general stochastic networks to more specific targets such as lower-layer functionalities in mobile networks, routing for computational grids, game theoretic approaches to access control, cooperation, competition and adversary capacities in diverse environments. The objective of this workpackage is to coordinate the organization of the corresponding annual event.		Tijani Chahed
SEA 7.1	Collaboration with Industry and in particular with SMEs	One of the main targets of Euro-NF is to maintain and develop a durable partnership program with industry, based at the beginning on the huge set of bilateral collaboration already existing today. Either between partners, or between partners and companies positioned outside the network. The objectives of these actions are to increase the cooperation both inside the network and with its industrial ecosystem, Of main concerns, are the synergy between historical partners, the circulation of information from and towards the academic players in the network, and the support to transfer of results from academia to industry.		Gerardo Rubino
SEA 7.2	Concertation with European Projects and Other Organizations	The Euro-NF NoE recognizes as a very important activity the cooperation with other IST European projects (NoEs, IPs, STREPs, coordination action umbrella projects, etc.). The main goal of this workpackage is to establish a framework and define practical actions in order to favour synergy through concertation between projects sharing commonalities in terms of either objectives or working programme.		Daniel Kofman
SEA 7.3	Liaison with International Initiatives	To achieve liaisons with the international initiatives or top research institutes, existing relationships of Euro-NF members to international initiatives can be spread to the NoE. To formally express these liaisons, Memorandum of Understanding or Letter of Intend can be established. To foster collaboration among the partners, mutual consultations have to be supported.

SEA 8.1	Joint PhD. Courses Program	see IA 5.1		Augusto Casaca
SEA 8.2	Joint Diploma (Master)	The consortium will design a set of courses (mandatory ones and electives) which could be the basis for joint or multiple master programmes in Networking. Selected existing programs in Europe and North America will be reviewed before the mandatory core modules are defined. A set of elective modules will allow to shape specific master programs according to the interests of the participating universities which want to set up a joint/multiple master program afterwards. The structure of the module/course description should be similar to the ACM/IEEE approach for CS. The transparency of the procedure will be maintained through the use of an electronic repository of academic information which will be accessible worldwide. The electronic repository will include search engines to facilitate potential users the search of courses through it.		LLuis Gutierrez
SEA 9.1	Support of Spin-Off Projects from the Euro-NF NoE	The procedures how to set up spin-offs, from the achievements of projects such as Euro-NF, are often unclear and therefore a major obstacle for their initiation. Here, the word spin-off shall be understood as a step forward practical developments when compared to joint research integrated and further developed under the auspices of the network. The NoE wants to give rise to such spin-offs by supporting a “guichet unique” able to provide adequate information, including for example help in finding additional partners, in interfacing with financial institutions, in supporting contractual issues, or still in protecting knowledge, including promoting patents.		Thomas Zinner
SEA 10.1	Euro-NF Vision (Prospetive Cell)	A prospective cell will be established to maintain and disseminate a prospective view on the network of the future, including topics related with services evolution and socio-economic aspects. in particular, it will contribute to the definition of the future network requirements. A vision document will be written and updated collectively (the starting point will be the vision document provided by Euro-NGI).		Daniel Kofman
