Welcome to the FUSION project
FUSION is developing a new networking architecture designed to natively support efficient provisioning, discovery and execution of service components distributed over the Internet. Today’s cloud computing architectures are centralised and network-agnostic. This makes them unfit for geographically distributed services with tight Quality of Service constraints and high bandwidth and computation demands. FUSION aims at combining service instantiation and network routing at a fine granularity, integrating service provisioning and service-centric networking.
The FUSION consortium consists of five partners:
- University College London, UK
- Alcatel-Lucent Bell NV, Belgium
- Orange Polska S.A., Poland
- Spinor GmbH, Germany
- iMinds vzw, Belgium
The FUSION project is partially funded by the European Union as part of the FP7 Information and Communication Technologies programme. It started in January 2013 and ran until June 2016.
