The internet was designed with host-oriented networking applications such as file transfer and remote login. However, recent internet statistics show that content-oriented traffic (e.g. web pages, multimedia clips) becomes more and more dominant. Even though content-oriented networking has received increasing attention, there have been few comprehensive and quantitative studies on how to realiz...

With the growing complexity of products and processes in a globalized market, companies are required to strive for a new quality of partnership. In Smart Networks, networking of partners goes beyond mere organizational networking, but involves also networking on the levels of knowledge and information/communication technology (ICT). The setup of ICT networking in newly formed Smart Networks req...

FEDERICA will provide an IT infrastructure made of switches, routers and computing nodes that will allow the research networking community to test new protocols and techniques for the future Internet. MANTICORE is a software solution that delivers infrastructure as a service to router devices and IP networks. One of the main goals of FEDERICA is to allow network researchers to share the FEDERIC...

Software-Defined Networking (SDN) is a novel architectural model for cloud network infrastructure, improving resource utilization, scalability and administration. SDN deployments increasingly rely on virtual switches executing on commodity operating systems with large code bases, which are prime targets for adversaries attacking the network infrastructure. We describe and implement TruSDN, a fr...

This paper presents the concept of collaboration infrastructure, which is intended to unify existing standards relevant for supply chain management and to provide the automated or semi-automated support in various decision making process, related to selection, production planning, capacity management, risk management and exception handling in manufacturing supply networks. In addition, the fore...

1. EXTENDED ABSTRACT Delay-tolerant Networking (DTN) [3] has moved a long way from its—for many probably somewhat elite—origin of a technology for an Interplanetary Internet in the late 1990s to an established research discipline. One major contributor to this trend was the observation that quite a few terrestrial networks exhibit delay-tolerant properties, albeit of different nature: from spar...

A crucial aspect of effective networking on the battlefield is choosing the correct networking architecture. Multi-hop wireless networks provide the best model for tactical networking because of their ability to self-organize and rapidly adapt to change. We focus on a multi-hop wireless network model that is highly dynamic and that consists of mobile base stations and mobile hosts. In this mode...

Recent developments in wireless communication inflate a new area of research named as Wireless Body Area Networks. WBANs enhance the concept of virtual hospital with the help of cloud computing (CC) technology. Still numerous technical challenges could be found to integrate Cloud Computing (CC) and WBANs. From networking perspective, Software Defined Networking (SDN) becomes popular for its cen...

Optical networking is the cornerstone of the Future Internet as it provides the physical infrastructure of the core backbone networks. Recent developments have enabled much better quality of service/experience for the end users, enabled through the much higher capacities that can be supported. Furthermore, optical networking developments facilitate the reduction of complexity of operations at t...
