The FIBRE (Future Internet Brazilian Research Environment) testbed is currently composed by a federation of 10 local testbeds (a.k.a. experimental islands) and combines heterogeneous physical resources and different technologies, including OpenFlow, wireless and optical communications. The FIBRE testbed promotes involvement of and technology transfer to the industrial sector, to prepare for Future Internet needs, especially involving OpenFlow and SDN approaches. The rich research and experimentation realistic environment creates a lot of opportunities of collaboration in Future Internet area. I will highlight some research opportunities between the US and Brazil in this theme, which could enable and encourage closer and more extensive bilateral cooperation in FI research and experimentation, as well as strengthening the participation of both communities in the increasingly global collaborations in this important area of network research and development.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About\u00a0Ant\u00f4nio\u00a0Abel\u00e9m:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-272\" src=\"https:\/\/switchon.ampath.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Ant%C3%B4nio-Jorge-Gomes-Abel%C3%A9m.jpg\" alt=\"Ant\u00f4nio Jorge Gomes Abel\u00e9m\" width=\"72\" height=\"95\" \/><strong>Ant\u00f4nio Jorge Gomes Abel\u00e9m\u00a0(UFPA)<br \/>\n<\/strong>abelem at ufpa dot br<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>Ant\u00f4nio holds degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Federal University of Par\u00e1 (1990), MS in Electrical Engineering from the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (1994) and Ph.D. in Computer Science also from the Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (2003).
