Since the inception of Internet Things (IoT), we have adopted centralized architecture for decades. With vastly growing number IoT devices and gateways, this struggles to cope with high demands state-of-the-art services, which require scalable responsive infrastructure. In response, decentralization becomes a considerable interest among adopters. Following similar trajectory, paper introduces a...

Abstract Networking is promoted as vital for contemporary organizational development, yet little research exists on how networks can be designed within organizations to strengthen the infrastructure toward agility and responsiveness. In this article, we examine findings from an ethnographic study explore application of networking a management strategy foster adaptability responsiveness both eme...

The desire for exible networking services has given rise to the concept of \active networks." Active networks provide a general framework for designing and implementing network-embedded services, typically by means of a programmable network infrastructure. A programmable network infrastructure creates signi cant new challenges for securing the network infrastructure. This paper begins with an o...

The transmission over wireless network can broadly be classified in two broad categories, as infrastructure wireless network and without infrastructure wireless network. Without Infrastructure wireless network or adhoc network, is an independent system with a certain number of mobile nodes which operate not only as hosts but also as routers. Each node can send and receive data packets, as well ...

BACKGROUND Networks are increasingly regarded as essential in health research aimed at influencing practice and policies. Less research has focused on the role networking can play in researchers' careers and its broader impacts on capacity strengthening in health research. We used the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research (CCGHR) annual Summer Institute for New Global Health Researchers...

This paper defines the problem statement of vehicle-embedded networking in order to communicate with the infrastructure (the Internet) as well as with other cars. Based on this problem statement, we explain the steps that allowed us to build a mobile router addressing this problem by using state of the art software. This software includes the NetBSD-current kernel and networking code developed ...

The future of networking is to move to an entirely optical infrastructure. Several leading National Research Networking organizations are creating test-beds to pilot the new paradigm. This paper explores some thoughts about the different usage models of optical networks. Different classes of users are identified. The services, required by the Internet traffic from those different classes of use...

Using Internet to satisfy social needs is not a recent phenomenon. Although applications like Emails and IM are extensively used to socialize, exponential improvement in technology, infrastructure, and decrease in cost has provided fertile grounds to develop new tools providing richer social environment. One such trend is the use of Social networking websites, which has opened new challenges an...
