FIND Challenge to the Research
Community:
Create the Future Internet you
want to have in 10-15 years
The Future Internet
Must
• Be worthy of our society’s trust
– Even for managing and operating critical infrastructures
• Provide a bridge between physical and virtual worlds
– Via instrumented and managed sensorized physical environment
• Support pervasive computing
– From wireless devices to supercomputers
– From wireless channels to all optical light-paths
• Enable further innovations in S&E research
– Seamless access to networked instruments, supercomputers,
storage, etc.
• Create a social world in which we would want to live
3
What is Different This Time?
• Clean-slate approach
– To overcome Internet ossification
– Research not constrained by the features of the
current Internet
– But does not mandate rejecting what currently
works
• A comprehensive coordinated effort
– Ability to try different approaches (We do not
have a preconceived idea of what they are)
• Ability to experiment at scale
– With real users and applications
4
Success Scenarios
• Internet evolution influenced by clean-slate approach
• Alternate Internet architecture emerges
– Alternate architecture(s) coexist with the current Internet
– Virtualization becomes the norm with plurality of architectures
– Single architecture emerges and dominates
• New services and applications enabled
• Many other payoffs
– Some unexpected

FIND - Different Process
•
•
•
•
•
“Goal” oriented  Future Internet
– Not typical for NSF research programs
– Area has a longer timescale with sustained funding
Three phases -- iterative and overlapping
– Exploration of architectural components and 1st cut overarching
architectures
– Convergence into multiple full-scale architectures
– Experimentation of architectures at scale
“Competitive cooperation” model
– Competition to bring out the best
– Cooperation to build on each others work to deliver Future
Internet
Competition – Proposal reviews
Cooperation – Among awardees
– Regular meetings -- three times a year
– Commitment to openness and transparency
6
Stages of Research
2006-2007
• Research on architectural elements
– Naming, identities, forwarding, interdomain
protocols, etc.
• 1st Cut overarching architectures
• Cross-cutting requirements of built-in
security, robustness, and manageability etc.
• Transformational architectural ideas (like
packet switching was for the Internet)
7
Stages of Research
2007 and Later
Coordinated effort to assemble overarching
coherent architectures
• Multiple PI meetings to formulate architectures
– FIND awardees
– But also other “architectural” researchers e.g. funded
by NeTS, CyberTrust, DARPA, industry, internationally
funded researchers, etc.
• Small number of architectures developed
8
Stages of Research
2008 and Later
Architectures as they emerge will be made
operational and tested
– Simulation
– Emulation
– Run on a large-scale GENI facility
• Experiment with new architectures at scale

Where are we now?
10
FIND 2006
26 of 98 projects awarded
– some 1 year seed investments
NeTS = $40M
FIND = ~$15M (38% of NeTS)
11
FIND 2007
• NSF 07-507; January 22, 2007 deadline
• First FIND PI meetings
– Begin to create a FIND community and identify areas
of commonality and differences, open research areas
• FIND project descriptions at:
http://nsf-find.cs.umn.edu
• Process for including FIND-like researchers from
industry, international and academics funded
elsewhere
12
FIND Portfolio
• New architecture principles
– Composable architectural building blocks
– Recursive network architecture
• Delay tolerant network architectures
– Disaster networks
– Cache and forward network (for large files)
• Network technology and architectures
– Wireless Networks
– Optical Networks
• Higher bar—be more architectural
• Services architectures
13
FIND Portfolio
• Virtualization
– New “layer 2+” hour glass
– New e2e services from virtual nodes & links
(multiple hour glasses)
• Sensor networks
• Security
– Default off and least knowledge
– Packet attribution with privacy preservation
• Routing
– User controlled routes
14
FIND Portfolio
• Object identity and naming
– Handles for naming, security &
communication paradigms
– Usable namespaces for small devices
• Economics and network architectures
– Market enabling architectures
• Management
– Manageability in routing systems
– Model-based diagnosis of the knowledge
plane

Lessons from FIND 2006
• Is it networking? Does it belong in NeTS?
• Is it architectural? Does it belong in FIND? How well
does it address architectural issues?
• Is it “clean slate”? Is it appropriate for a “Future
Network”?
• Is there evidence of a deep understanding of the
(hard) issues?
• Will it scale?
• Can it be secure?
• What about overhead or complexity?
• Is it economically viable?
• Have ideas already been tried?—need good
understanding of the literature and history of the
field when rethinking old ideas
16
Lessons from FIND 2006
• Is there a unifying theme of ideas—or just a
“grab bag” of ideas?
• Is there an evaluation plan for the new ideas?
• Is there a well developed plan for the integration
of education and research?
• How will the PIs involve students in the FIND
research?
• What is the broader impact if successful? Does
the idea matter? Want to hear “if successful,
these ideas would have a profound positive
impact on the Future Network.”
17
Lessons from FIND 2006
• Too many ideas merely extensions of
current Internet or P2P networks
• Too many were technology, not
architecture proposals
• Too many use assumptions appropriate for
the current Internet
• Not just “fix the Internet” mentality
• It does NOT have to fit within today’s
vision of GENI’s capability—GENI will
evolve
18
Guidance to FIND Proposers
• Think of creative yet well-considered ideas
• Clearly show how the proposed work
addresses one or more Future Internet
requirements (e.g. built-in security,
economic viability, manageability)
• May submit architectural components,
architectural theory, 1st cut overarching
Architectures (not just critique of Internet)
• Discuss how your work would fit into a
larger overall network architecture
19
FIND Review Criteria
• Intellectual Merit
• Broader Impact
• How well the work addresses architectural
requirements
• How well the proposed work relates to and
enhances overall architectural framework
• Importance of work to framing a new
architecture
