4. The objectives of FIRE STATION
1 To move the FIRE facility towards a more
customer-driven, dynamic, effective, sustainable,
easy-to-access and easy-to-use experimental
platform
2 To intensify the collaboration amongst the
FIRE Community
• FIRE projects and all related stakeholders, such as other
testbeds, testbed initiatives, customers of testbeds -
projects, researchers from academy and industry

5. The organization of FIRE STATION
FIRE STATION implements a FIRE Office and a FIRE
Architecture Board:
- The FIRE Office serves as a single contact point and a
mediator when looking for experimental resources or new
customers;
- The FIRE Architecture Board involves all FIRE facility
builders to decide on the strategy and means to facilitate the
development of FIRE offerings.

6. The FIRE Architecture Board (1/2)
The mission of the FIRE Architecture Board is to
strengthen the coordination and collaboration
among the projects developing FIRE test facilities,
including the demand-driven extensions.
Main objectives:
• Supporting the harmonization and extension of the
future and existing experimental facilities in FIRE.
• Supporting the development of heterogeneous
federation of experimental facilities;
6

7. The FIRE Architecture Board (2/2)
FIRE Architecture Board members investigate
various topics related to FIRE:
• Measurement and benchmarking, methodology and tools, portal
• FIRE Sustainability, business models, standardization issues.
• FIRE strategy (e.g. international collaboration, FP8 preparation)
• FIRE roadmap for the experimental facilities
• Advancement of the projects (open calls info day, feedback from
workshops, next steps)
The FIRE Architecture Board is an operational FIRE-wide
forum
FIRE STATION chairs and moderates the Architecture Board; meetings
are being held regularly.
