Presentation 1: Status of IPv6 in Singapore
This talk will provide an overview of the past, current and future efforts put into the development and deployment of IPv6 in Singapore. It will briefly highlight the past research/technical work done, current ongoing efforts to encourage the deployment of IPv6 and the problems faced.

Presentation 2: Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks Research in the
Institute for Infocomm Research This seminar will first give an overview of the Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore and the research conducted in the Networking Protocols department in general. Following which, the talk will discuss two specific areas of research:

1. Wireless sensor networks for structural monitoring and smart buildings – we focus on the exciting application domain for wireless sensor networks and its significance in our future pervasive and trusted network infrastructure. A key research issue is the effect on the design *of protocols and algorithms when relying on ambient energy harvesting techniques for power.
2. Underwater ad hoc and sensor networks – we focus on the salient
features of underwater networks and how they influence the design of networking protocols. A brief overview of novel network architectures and protocols for underwater networks will also be presented.

From it I have compiled a short trip report which you can find below.

Within the report I give some comments I took on the the speakers and links to the slides they presented.

The one item you may find most interesting is the rap-up slides which is an overview of the event, it can be found online at

I hope you find this useful.

Ladid, Latif and Bound, Jim and Pouffary, Yanick and Rich, Yurie and Green, David (2006) IPv6 Forum Vision 2010 Roadmap. In: The IPv6 Forum World Congress, 21-22 February 2006, Las Vegas.

This document was based on discussions at the IPv6 World Congress in February 2006, Las Vegas, and on subsequent discussions.

The document combines a technical perspective and overview (drawing on the core expertise of the IETF members who specified the RFCs that make up IPv6, and related industrial and academic research expertise), and a business case overview. The report places these perspectives within the context of models predicting when IPv4 address shortage will start to happen, and when this shortage have a major impact on the Internet as we know it (e.g. Tony Hain's IANA IPv4 Pool Depletion Model Internet protocol Journal article and Updates to model).

Today 6Bone Operators & Users say bye to the experimental network which allowed, already some years ago, to turn IPv6 into the production space.

With the occasion of this virtual celebration, we have a couple of quotes from two key people on this subject:

• Bob Fink (6Bone Project): "After more than ten years of planning, development and experience with IPv6, with efforts from all around the world, it is gratifying for me to see the 6Bone phase-out on the 6th of June 2006, having served it's purpose to stimulate IPv6 deployment and experience, leaving IPv6 a healthy ongoing component of the future of the Internet!"
• Brian Carpenter (IBM, co-author of multiple IPv6 RFCs and IETF chair): "It's very encouraging to see IPv6 moving forward both technically and commercially, with its address assignments now routinely managed by the same registries that look after the rapidly diminishing IPv4 address pool. I look forward to the day the Internet reaches ten billion active nodes with public addresses, which will only be possible with IPv6."

Users can learn how to enable IPv6, enjoy free IPv6 production connectivity and use some trial services at the IPv6 Day web site (in several languages).

Waterford Institute of Technology hosted the launch of the Irish National IPv6 Centre on Friday 30th September 2005.

This centre is a consortium led by the Telecommunications Software & Systems Group (TSSG) in Waterford Institute of Technology (WIT), with partners in the Hamilton Institute (NUI Maynooth), HEAnet (Ireland's national research network) and BT Ireland (with their links to the BT Exact research laboraties in Ipswich).

The centre was designated by the Irish DCMNR (Department of the Communications, the Marine, and Natural Resources) and opened by Martin Cullen TD, Minister of Transport. The Director of WIT, Prof. Kieran Byrne, and the Chair of WIT's Governing Body, Redmond O'Donoghue welcomed the Minister. The Head of Research in WIT, Dr. Willie Donnelly gave a short address on the importance of the TSSG within the context of WIT's research strategy. As part of the programme of talks for the launch event Mario Campolargo, Head of Unit DG-INFSO F3 Research Infrastructures in the European Commission, gave a presentation via video-link from Brussels.

Each of the partners gave a presentation: Mícheál Ó Foghlú (TSSG, WIT), Dr. David Malone (Hamilton Institute, NUI Maynooth), Mike Norris and David Wilson (HEAnet) and William McAuliffe (BT Ireland). In addition short presentations were given by a number of supporters of the initiative: Dr. Mark Keane (Science Foundation Ireland, who have funded the TSSG and the Hamilton Institute in ways that support the centre), Nick Hilliard (INEX) and Latif Ladid (President of the global IPv6 Forum).

The afternoon included demonstrations of active research projects involving IPv6 in which the partners in the Irish National IPv6 Centre are engaged including Daidalos, and SEINIT.

The Irish National IPv6 Centre is committed to continuing to research infrastructural and service-related issues linked to the use of the IPv6 protcol as the key element of the next generation Internet. In this, the centre will support the on-going mission of the Irish National IPv6 Task Force to encourage and lobby for the deployment of IPv6 in Ireland in the public and private sectors.

IPv6 refers to the next generation of Internet Protocol hence the term "Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)". The National Centre will support the local and global IPv6 community by providing technical depth and engagement towards the research community.

Minister Martin Cullen (on behalf of the Department of Communications, the Marine and Natural Resources) will launch the centre officially on September 30th at the Main Campus of Waterford Institute of Technology.

• Providing a trusted and dependable security framework, ubiquitous,
  working across multiple devices, heterogeneous networks, organisation
  independent and centred around an end-user


• Maintaining an adequate security level without infringing a user's right to privacy


• Developing a security approach "closer to real life"

The main technological work covers:

• design and development of new components for this security framework integration of these components with trials on suitable assessment platforms
• deployment of anomaly detection systems to detect security breaches IPv6 issues
• mobility issues
• specific security issues of ambient intelligence or smart spaces

Mobility has become a central aspect of the lives of European citizens in business, education, and leisure. The rapid technological and societal changes and the bewildering emergence of numerous new services has created a complex environment for network operators and a confusing situation for end users. The enhancement of existing technologies and development of new Beyond 3G systems will increase this complexity even more. Daidalos will lead the fundamental rethinking of network architectures that is necessary to create a new generation of user-centred manageable communication infrastructure for the future. The Daidalos vision is to seamlessly integrate heterogeneous network technologies that allow network operators and service providers to offer new and profitable services, giving users access to a wide range of personalised voice, data, and multimedia services. 46 partners from industry and academia are ambitiously working to achieve this vision.
