FIND (Future Internet
Design) is a major long-term initiative of the NSF NeTS research program.
FIND invites the research community to consider what the requirements
should be for a global network of 15 years from now, and how we could
build such a network if we are not constrained by the current Internet—if
we could design it from scratch. FIND solicits research across the broad
area of network architecture, principles, and mechanism design, aimed at
answering these questions. The philosophy of the program is to help
conceive the future by momentarily letting go of the present - freeing
our collective minds from the constraints of the current state of
networking. The FIND Meeting
The FIND meeting
includes principal investigators from 2006 and PIs who have been notified
that they are going to be recommended for funding in 2007. In addition to
FIND, there are many programs and projects working toward a Future
Internet. This meeting includes invited researchers in such projects who
have been selected on the basis of white papers white papers explaining
the scope of their research and the potential contributions to designing
a Future Internet.
