Springer New Network Architectures: The Path to the Future Internet: 297 (Studies in Computational Intelligence, 297)

"Future Internet" is a worldwide hot topic. This book presents and discusses the ongoing initiatives and experimental facilities for the creation of new Future Internet Architectures using alternative approaches like Clean Slate and Incremental improvements. Review From the reviews:“This compilation of papers gives a history of the Internet, discusses principles of Internet architecture … . Each one is of high quality and includes thorough descriptions of its topic areas with diagrams and figures to explain many of the complex concepts. … The bibliographies at the end of the papers provide numerous references, and are a valuable resource by themselves for those who have research interests in a particular area. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals; general audiences.”  (F. H. Wild III, Choice, Vol. 48 (6), February, 2011) From the Back Cover "Future Internet" is a worldwide hot topic. The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for business development and social interactions. However, the immense growth of the Internet has resulted in additional stresses on its architecture, resulting in a network difficult to monitor, understand, and manage due to its huge scale in terms of connected devices and actors (end users, content providers, equipment vendors, etc). This book presents and discusses the ongoing initiatives and experimental facilities for the creation of new Future Internet Architectures using alternative approaches like Clean Slate and Incremental improvements: It considers several possible internet network use scenarios that include seamless mobility, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, internet of things and new paradigms like content and user centric networks.
