Agenda:
- The core debate was during the Expert Panel on Internet
- Discussion turned around “new Internet”, as a next phase of the NGN. The panelist touched architectural, business models, and technical aspects that might be considered
- A top 7 item list was suggested as the most critical priorities; security, identity management, etc.
Discussion:
- There were discussions on updating the topics of INTERNET and augmenting the dissemination of INTERNET to cover new dimensions on virtualization and cloud computing, etc.
- Help is expected from all the committee members for a careful dissemination of the Call for Papers, avoiding spamming
- The promotion of young researchers was appreciated
- More work for preparing INTERNET 2010 will be done offline, with many volunteers
- There is an open call to suggest regular refresh to the topics of INTERNET events
- Please have a look at: INTERNET 2010
Suggestions are welcome at petre@iaria.org
- The procedure of invitation-only for extended versions of selected papers among those presented for on-line IARIA journals, with no additional fees, was appreciated
See: www.iariajournals.org
Some of the following items were also discussed either individually, or off-line, in small groups.
Suggestions:
- Continue with ‘Poster’ and ‘Work in Progress’ tracks
- Definitively, the technical program committee must be tuned to reflect new topics and assure a fair peer-to-peer review process
Publications:
- The option to publish in an open digital library was discussed; this will allow having all the proceedings of the co-located events on the same CD Proceedings, and full free access to any publication
- This issue will be carried further on to the IARIA Board to careful attention
- It was suggested that some national research Centers encourage scientist to rather publish in openly searchable digital libraries
- Conclusion was that, while a parallel back-up solution for both publishing and archiving is recommended, more work must be done for enlarging the indexing
Next steps:
- Develop the new topics via off-line exchanges
- Extend invitations for INTERNET 2010 committee membership
INTERNET 2010:
- Announce the new topics with the CfP for INTERNET 2010
- Location: yet to be defined, most probably in Valencia (Spain)
- INTERNET 2010 will be organized under InfoWare 2010, most probably in September 2010

The panelists and audience discussed different aspects and agreed that many open issues exist and future research is necessary on Future Internet:
- clean slate versus evolutionary approach- pros/cons
- new business models are needed
- network neutrality -pros/cons
- security
Advanced Future Internet services- what service do the users really need?
- advanced service and resource management
- heterogeneous networking technology integration aspects
- fixed mobile-integration
- balance bteween thoretical new architectures and validation by expermentation on large scale int’l testbed
