THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFORMATION NETWORKING ARCHITECTURE INITIATIVE

The workshops on Telecommunications Information Networking Architecture (TINA) are a series of international workshops that bring together researchers from industry and academia in order to explore the synergy between computing and telecommunications. This paper outlines the progress made thus far by these workshops and also discusses the planned future agenda. To this end we describe in some detail two main efforts: the definition of a common platform model and the progress that has been made to date in defining a specific application prototyping method.
