The E-NEXT project has been successful in getting European companies, universities, and research institutions to collaborate on the development of new technologies in mobile and ambient networking, self-aware and service-aware networking, and content distribution. The virtual research center is behind the launch of the European Doctoral School on Advanced Topics in Networking (SATIN) to produce more computer networking researchers, and the CoNEXT conference to engage researchers from the United States and Asia on future networking technologies. E-NEXT technical coordinator Arturo Azcorra views the project serving as a spark for collaboration that makes self-sustainability and investment possible. "It has long been evident that collaboration is profitable in the sense that groups of researchers working together produce better results than a single group of researchers working alone," says Azcorra. E-NEXT is set to end in July, but will be followed up by CONTENT, a three-year initiative that focuses on facilitating collaboration on content distribution networks, peer-to-peer, and interactive multimedia. Considerable technological improvements can be made as the demand for personalized media grows, says Azcorra.
