Ambient Networks Integrated Prototype Design and Implementation

摘要

This paper presents the design and realization process of the Ambient Networks Integrated Prototype. The approach of developing a prototype that integrates various components developed by different teams working in parallel is a cornerstone of the project''s validation strategy. We offer other projects a case study that helps speed up their design and development process for complex research prototypes. We present the top-to-bottom approach starting from usage scenarios and leading to the list of software modules to be developed. The structure of the prototype is explained, with focus on registration, lookup, naming and security framework. By this we provide an insight into the internal structure of a future global Fixed-Mobile Converged (FMC) network.
