Understanding the implications of this emerging connected society is critical for Ireland's academic and industrial success. The TSSG would like to invite you to a National Irish Future Internet event to be held on the 29th October 2008 in the Digital Exchange, Digital Hub in Dublin 8, Crane Street [see letter (D) on the Location Map]. The purpose of the event is to create a forum for discussing the challenges and opportunities for ICT in Ireland relating to the research and development of the Future Internet, both in terms of managing the network infrastructure, and in terms of enabling flexible service creation and deployment.

The event will feature a number of keynote presentations from internationally renowned speakers, including a talk from Rainer Zimmermann, Head of Unit "Future Networks", European Commission, DG Information Society and Media (DG-INFSO).

The IMS ARCS team have created an online video which allows a user see an on screen demonstration of how to run the OpenIMS testbed, how to run and configure an application and how to run the OpenIC IMS client and demonstrate a simple SIP enabled service running on the testbed.
