SUNRISE project: Porto university testbed

The Porto University testbed developed under the SUNRISE FP7 project is described along with its intended uses for experimentation with Future Internet technologies. First, the SUNRISE project and the FIRE initiative are briefly described as background information for the presentation of the testbed. Second, the key components of the testbed are presented with reference to ocean going autonomous vehicles, static sensor and communication nodes, and underlying software tool chain. Third, the integration of the testbed in a federation of five underwater communication networks, based on pilot infrastructure designed, built and deployed by SUNRISE partners is discussed in the context of experimentation of Future Internet technologies.
