TRCyberLab: An Infrastructure for Future Internet and Security Studies

Abstract

The digital world is continuously changing, and new technologies affecting every aspect of our life. In order to keep up with these changes and have some impact and/or control over it; we must conduct advanced research on information technologies, future networks and security. In addition, we must educate the necessary human resource for the field. Today, developed countries are establishing large-scale research and education testbeds to support their researchers. Using these testbeds, they seek to increase their impact in the technology and security fields. In this paper, we propose a national information and communication technologies and security testbed, TRCyberLab. We also propose a road-map for the establishment and sustainment of this testbed. We believe, this testbed will help researchers in Turkey to conduct advanced research and develop new technologies also have an impact in the field.
