TRILOGY
Abstract
Trilogy is a collaborative research project within the ICT theme of the 7th
Framework Programme of the European Commission that contributes to the objective
"Network of the Future" of the Work Programme.
Project Structure
The project is organised around three technical workpackages, each dedicated to
one of the three major technical areas:
Reachability mechanisms
Resource control
Social and commercial control
Reachability
The focus of this work package is on creating flexible and change-proof
internetworking functions that provide and manage transparent reachability in a
scalable fashion. These functions build communication paths between nodes that
address the requirements and extremes of the future Internet while giving
different stakeholders the ability to control reachability and transparency
on-demand.
Members of this work package are experts on inter-domain routing, policy routing
and traffic engineering.
Resource control
The focus of this work package is a unified approach to resource control that is
efficient, fair and incentive-compatible. Fairness is defined in economic terms,
and the resource control framework encompasses the correct incentive structure
to penalise users that behave grossly unfairly. The work package also
investigates which resources need controlling throughout the system and creates
integrated and flexible resource allocation models.
Members of this work package are experts in congestion control, resource
scheduling, control theory, queuing algorithms and the economics of resource
control.
Social and commercial control
This work package articulates the principles that drive the technical work in
the other two technical workpackages. It analyses and communicates the strategic
socio-economic and commercial factors that influence the interplay between the
technical internetworking functions, in order to architect an integrated
solution that is designed for change. It also assesses whether the objectives
are indeed being achieved, both internally, using the project’s own economic,
business and public policy expertise and externally, through working
collaborations with parallel independent industry initiatives linked to the
Trilogy project.
Members of this work package are experts in business strategy, economics and
future commercial environments.
