The goal of theECODE (Experimental COgnitive Distributed Engine) project is to develop, validate, and implement a cognitive routing system, which uses machine learning techniques, that can meet the future Internet challenges, in terms of manageability, security, availability, and accountability. The project combines networking with machine learning expertise, in order to address these challenges in the most efficient way.

ECODE is a STREP Project co-funded by the European Commission under the Framework Programme 7, Objective ICT-2007.1.6 "New paradigms and experimental facilities". This 3-year project is running from September 2008 to August 2011.
