Abstract
The GAIA Extended Research Infrastructure is located at the southeast of Spain. It targets the research of Future Internet architectures and comprises several facilities from the University of Murcia and the Spanish government. It offers a vertical infrastructure, composed of a backend with high capacity of data storage, communication, and processing, together with a frontend with an extended set of multidisciplinary testbeds, deployments, and living labs for the ubiquitous monitoring, sensing, and processing. That said, it offers a highly flexible framework for experimentation with architectures and protocols for the Future Internet. In fact, it has been used in many research projects to evaluate their outputs from the communications and telematics point of view.
