Open for use (under well defined engagement rules), vendor-neutral, flexible (in terms of capabilities) networked test bed infrastructure, which will enable:
Experimentation & Prototyping(under as much as possible »real-world« conditions); Early standard validation & field test; Use of standardized test methodologies well accepted by the industry;Facilitate the cooperation and interoperability testing in multi-vendor, multi-SDO environment;Speed-up the production of testing standards;Facilitate the exchange of the knowledge & expertise between ETPs and SDOs.

““MarieMarie--Curie R&D Curie R&D mobility program”that will:
• facilitate the exchange ofknowledge and experiences bw. Research Inst., SDOs and Industrypartners
• enable more efficient use ofresources (e.g. standardizationexperts, …)
• facilitate the use of standardizedtest methods. & industry practice at research inst. providing qualityfeedback to SDOs.

SummaryKeyKey issuesissues in ETP/SDO in ETP/SDO relationshiprelationship: :
Early detection and forward of standardizations scope; Early availability of open (even draft) specifications in thedevelopment phase; Providing interoperability of new ETP deliverables with existingtechnologies and deliverables from other initiatives;Providing ETP’s quality feedback about the validation/use of open specifications;
ProposalsProposals to to addressaddress thesethese issuesissues: : Set-up of flexible, open, vendor-neutral networked testbedinfrastructure for experimentation, prototyping, standard validation forcomplex ICT technologies (e.g. NGN/IMS);Facilitating the RTD human resources mobility enabling more efficientutilization of RTD resources for production of open standards;
ActionsActions takentaken::ETSI and SINTESIO initiatives to setup interoperability testinginfrastructure for IMS and NGN technologies (partnership program with ntw. operators, NGN equip. vendors, test equip.vendors, researchinstitutions and SDos).
