The most important achievement of WP5 is its contribution to Internet standardization. In this nine months period, EMANICS partners contributed to 24 Internet-Drafts. This is even more than what was achieved in the previous period, and may make EMANICS one of the most successful NoEs to this respect. In addition, EMANICS partners are also very active within the “Network Management Research Group” (NMRG) of the “Internet Research Task Force” (IRTF).

EMANICS partners have had many bilateral interactions with industry and multiple forms of cooperation with related EU projects, such as Euro-FGI, AGAVE project and the COST IS605 action. EMANICS is also very active in running the key events and in organizing the top publications in our area.
