NIT participates in the following projects:

• Information system concerning broadband infrastructure and the “Broadband Poland” portal – SIPS (2009-2013) Project SIPS (System Informacyjny o infrastrukturze szerokopasmowej i portal Polska Szerokopasmowa) applied by NIT is realized in the form of partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Office of Electronic Communications. The aim of this project is to create countrywide data communication infrastructure, which will support state and local authorities in the management and co-ordination of projects related to building regional broadband networks, both core and access, in areas where intervention is necessary. The NIT, being a leader of the partnership, the information system for collecting and processing of information about existing national broadband infrastructure has built and different functionality tests of this system performed. Moreover, special documents were elaborated e.g. the opinions about last legal acts edited by Parliament or Government and two procedures – one for collecting information concerning broadband infrastructure and broadband services provided by network operators and service providers and second for the purpose of visual presentation of this information on the digital maps.

• Future Internet Engineering (2010-2012) The project led by Warsaw University of Technology and granted by Structural Fund is realized in consortium with National Institute of Telecommunications, Wroclaw University of Technology, Poznan University of Technology, Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center, The Institute of Theoretical and Applied Informatics of the Polish Academy of Sciences, Silesian University of Technology, Gdansk University of Technology and AGH University of Science and Technology. The aim of this project is two-fold, on the one hand the investigations on IPv6 aim at hastening IPv6 start in Poland national network by developing tools for smooth replacement of current version of IP (IPv4) by the IPv6 protocol and by proposing new network solutions and services resulting from IPv6. On the other hand, the project develops an innovative architecture based on resource virtualization, which is fully integrated in the framework of the Future Internet Initiative prevailing in Europe networking research. The scope of the project is the development and implementation of the necessary algorithms and network mechanisms in order to create a platform where is it possible to build different networks, each one with its own technology: Quality of Network IPv6 network, Content Aware Network, Flow-Switched Network. This way, the project partners build a national test network environment for the IPv6 Internet and Future Internet, enabling research and development activities based on the experimental verification. NIT is involved in many activities inside the project, specially, in building the national experimental network, management of the proposed solution and IPv6 investigations. More than 120 researchers are involved in the project.

Leader of the project: Prof Wojciech Burakowski. Responsible in NIT: Dr Piotr Krawiec, Z3www.iip.net.pl/project
