Future Internet Reference Architecture FIA lead effort for an Internet Architecture for Innovation, where they highlight. Internet Principles that Have Fostered Innovation. Internet Driven Innovation in Europe. Entrepreneurship and Innovation in Europe. Innovation Hindered by the Current Internet Architecture Principles. Principles to Inspire FI Architectures to Foster Innovation. http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/foi/library/docs/p3-aiai-2010.pdf FIA FIArch WG Looking at the fundamental limitations of the current Internet and the path to a future Internet. They see the following base functionalities under pressure: Processing/handling of “data”: refers to forwarders (e.g. routers, switches, etc.), computers (e.g., terminals, servers, etc.), CPUs, etc. and handlers (software programs/ routines/services) that generate and treat data. Storage of “data”: refers to memory, buffers, caches, disks, etc. and associated logical data structures. Transmission of “data”: refers to physical and logical transferring and exchange of data. Control of processing, storage, transmission of systems and functions: refers to the action of observation (input), analysis, and decision (output) whose execution affects the running conditions of these services, systems and functions. http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/foi/library/docs/current-internet-limitations-v9.pdf
