Description
WIDE, Widely Integrated Distributed Environment, project has been working since 1988. The WIDE project is a research consortium among industry, public institutes and academia. The number of members working in the WIDE project is more than seven hundred researchers and engineers from more than hundred private companies and more than forty universities. The WIDE project operates the nation-wide R&D testbed, which is connected with many other R&D testbeds on the globe, and the NSPIXPs, that are one of the largest IXes in Japan.
The philosophy of the WIDE Project activity is practical R&D with live testbed operated by us. Shortly, we have frequently represented this philosophy as "Research is in our right hand, and Operation is in our left hand". Researchers and engineers of the WIDE project have a responsibility to deploy their invented and proposed technology to the society. This is the contribution of the WIDE Project to the global society. In order to achieve this objective, our research areas are in large diversities. R&D in the WIDE covers from physical layer to applications and sometimes to policies, which is enabling various new industrial areas. Contributions to the global internet operation include the operation of the M Root DNS Server, forming the Internet backbone in Asia-Pacific region, and the world's first undertaking of IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6).
The WIDE Project is reaching into territories that go beyond that of the organizational boundaries of corporations and universities into the networking of a variety of fields that only an interdisciplinary research network can achieve.
