Future Internet in Finland

Finnish Future Internet programme is a part of the ICT cluster of the Finnish Strategic Centres for Science, Technology and Innovation (ICT SHOK) coodinated by Tivit Ltd.

Finnish approach is based on two major interlinked changes in the Internet that are presently challenging its structure and reshaping its future: the move from the end-to-end principle towards a trust-to-trust principle and from interconnecting nodes towards interconnecting information. Other main change drivers include connectivity, scalability and autonomous resilience.

The programme looks at both evolutionary and revolutionary solutions. The programme also applies different methodologies from theoretical analysis and simulation to concrete experimentations in realistic network environments. Further, the programme establishes a testbed that supports the programme researchers by providing basic services and operations for experimental investigation of different networking solutions
