Congresso Sociedade Brasileira de Computação CSBC2016 Porto Alegre (Brazil) Workshop on Cloud Networks & Cloudscape Brazil Cristiano Both, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Funded jointly by the European Commission (EC) and the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation; Portuguese: Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia e Inovação (MCTI) of Brazil, the EUBrasilCloudFORUM project supports EU-BR collaborative projects in the collection and promotion of their results and activities. The results will be used to draft a research Roadmap on cloud computing, identifying collaboration needs and opportunities between Europe and Brazil for the European Commission and to MCTI, thus contributing to the definition of future cooperation priorities between the two regions.

2. GOAL:
• To develop and deployresearch infrastructure,
and an associated controlframework for
experimentation, in Europeand Brazil, that
enables experimental research at the
convergence point betweenoptical and
wireless networks

4. Objective 1:
To deploy facilities in Europe and Brazil that can
be accessed by external experimenters for
experimentation that requires integration of
wireless and optical technologies

5. Objective 2:
To develop and deploya converged control
framework for experimentation at the
wireless/optical boundary, currentlymissing in
FIRE and FIBRE research infrastructure
4
Build on

6. Objective 3:
To conduct industry-informed research using the
optical/wireless facilities

7. Objective 4:
To create a sustainable ecosystem of
collaborative research and industrial/academic
partnerships between Braziland Europe

8. Objective 5:
To create education and outreach materials for
a broad audience interested in experimental
issues in wireless and optical networks

9. Access to advanced experimental
facilities in Europe and Brazil for
research and education across the
wireless and optical domains
Use of a convergedcontrol
framework to support
optical/wireless experimentation on
the federated research
infrastructure
Industry-driven use cases that
produce advances in research at the
optical/wireless boundary

10. Thank You!
