Towards knowledge networking

Towards knowledge networking

In this article we describe an integrated view on knowledge management and networking being a very powerful combination for the future of knowledge management. We start by giving an overview of the increasing importance of networks in the modern economy. Subsequently, we conceptualize a Network perspective on knowledge management. Therefore we firstly give a theoretical foundation on networks, ...

Towards a Managed Extensible Control Plane for Knowledge-Based Networking

This paper proposes an open, extensible control plane for a global event service, based on semantically rich messages. This is based on the novel application of control plane separation and semantic-based matching to Content-Based Networks. Here we evaluate the performance issues involved in attempting to perform ontology-based reasoning for content-based routing. This provides us with the moti...

Towards Securing Disruption-Tolerant Networking

Most of the existing Internet applications are built on the assumption of immediate end-to-end connectivity. However, there are many scenarios, like messaging in sparsely populated areas, in which immediate connectivity is not available. Traditional approaches for communication security may not apply in such disruption-prone environments. Recently, the use of identity-based cryptography has bee...

Towards High-Performance Active Networking

Network processors have been developed to ease the implementation of new network protocols in high-speed routers. Being embedded in network interface cards, they enable extended packet processing at link speed as is required, for instance, for active network nodes. Active network nodes start using network processors for extended packet processing close to the link. The control and configuration...
