Abstract

This paper deals with the integration of available platforms and testbeds within the network of excellence CRUISE, which belongs to the VI IST framework. First, the existing testbeds are described in terms of application scenarios, hardware features and adopted communications protocols. Then, several considerations regarding the integration issues are given, involving diverse aspects, such as application area, network features and node characteristics. Finally, possible general approaches for sharing or jointly using, and eventually integrating, CRUISE partners´ testbeds are presented.
