The Internet has already established itself as one of the key information and communication media of our time. With Internet-specific types of information representation and art evolving, and with social groups forming in cyberspace, the Internet and its content is turning into an important part of our cultural heritage. This new digital cultural heritage is deemed worth preserving by an increa...

The Internet has evolved from an academic network to a broad commercial platform and become an integral and indispensable part of our daily life, economic operation, and society over forty years. However, many technical and non-technical challenges have emerged during this process. In order to address these challenges, we analyze the three features—pervasiveness, heterogeneity and intelligence ...

The Internet presents great challenges to the characterization of its structure and behavior. Different reasons contribute to this situation, including a huge user community, a large range of applications, equipment heterogeneity, distributed administration, vast geographic coverage, and the dynamism that are typical of the current Internet. In order to deal with these challenges, several measu...

There have been several inflection points in human history where an innovation changed every aspect of human life in a fundamental and irreversible manner. There is no doubt that we are now in the midst of a new inflection point: the Internet revolution. However, if the Internet is to realize its promise of being the next revolutionary global communication medium, we need to achieve the five gr...

The constantly growing body of scholarly knowledge of science, technology, and humanities is an asset of the mankind. While new discoveries expand the existing knowledge, they may simultaneously render some of it obsolete. It is crucial for scientists and other stakeholders to keep their knowledge up to date. Policy makers, decision makers, and the general public also need an efficient communic...

This memo describes research challenges for Information-Centric Networking. Information-Centric Networking is an approach to evolve the Internet infrastructure to directly support information distribution by introducing uniquely named data as a core Internet principle. Data becomes independent from location, application, storage, and means of transportation, enabling in-network caching and repl...

The emergence of the Internet of Things introduces new challenges like network congestion or data privacy. However, it also provides opportunities, such as computational resources close to data sources, which can be pooled to realize Fogs to run software applications on the edge of the network. To foster this new type of resources, we revisit the concept of mobile agents and evolve them to so-c...
