4th International Conference on Testbeds and Research Infrastructures for the Development of Networks & Communities, Innsbruck, Österreich

<P>Telecommunication infrastructures play a vital role in modern society&#046; Advances in the range of network service offerings, performance, quality of service, security, and ubiquity continue to flourish, despite global economy fluctuations&#046; Access to experimental infrastructures for real&#8211;life applications by specific user communities benefits all of the stakeholders involved: the end users, because of the first&#8211;hand evaluation of the provided services, the researchers and infrastructure experimenters, because of the knowledge gained from hands&#8211;on study and analysis, and the service providers, because of the business exploitation of the network&#046; </P> <P>The goal of TridentCom is to create a forum where telecommunication networks researchers, vendors, providers and users can exchange ideas on past experience, requirements, needs, and visions for future establishment of such infrastructures&#046; It showcases experimental activities, such as testing, verification, integration, measurement, and deployment, which are pivotal to achieving next generation communications&#046;</P><B>Keywords:</B> <LI>Next Generation Internet Testbeds <LI>Next Generation Wireless Network Testbeds <LI>Next Generation Optical Network Testbeds <LI>Ubiquitous Network Testbeds <LI>Wireless Sensor Testbeds <LI>Testbed Operation &amp; Management for User Communities <LI>Testbed Operation &amp; Management for Research Communities <LI>Testbed Cooperation &amp; Integration <LI>Innovative Measurements Methodologies &amp; Tools <LI>Traffic Measurements Testbeds <LI>Software Tools to Support Distributed Testbeds <LI>Virtual Laboratories <LI>Management of Massive Databases of Experimental Data <LI>Knowledge &amp; Technology Transfer Procedures <LI>Security (AAA) Testing on Open Testbeds <LI>Co&#8211;creative user centric laboratories for Real&#8211;Life experiments <LI>Business Models for Infrastructure Budgeting &amp; Planning <LI>Infrastructure Renting &amp; Pricing Policies <LI>Vendors &amp; Providers Partnerships <BR></LI>
