This paper examines the problem of Internet resource discovery from the point of view of Information retrieval. It firstly discusses the traditional Information Retrieval task, and then considers current approaches to Internet Information Retrieval. These approaches give rise to problems such as Information Burial, which are defined and discussed. Finally, a model is proposed that partially cir...

The convergence of computer-communication networks towards an all-IP integrated network has transformed Internet in a commercial commodity that has stimulated an un-precedent offer of novel communication services that are pushing the Internet architecture and protocols well beyond their original design. This calls for extraordinary research efforts at all levels of the protocol stack to address...

The Internet has during the past few years experienced an explosive growth. It is seen as a unifying socio-technical concept for the development of open and simple standards. As such it has proven to be a strong force in setting the agenda for the development and use of software. How can we explain this change, and what are the general issues? What impact do the resulting radical changes have o...

T he Internet is based on a layered set of protocols — the most basic of which is TCP/IP — and the servers and routers that support them. As the Internet becomes increasingly crucial to our economy and culture and our collective usage increases in both magnitude and type, challenges are arising for the Internet’s basic protocols. The Internet has been “about to fail” since its commercialization...

After decades of engineering development and infrastructural investment, Internet connections have become commodity product in many countries, and Internet scale “cloud computing” has started to compete with traditional software business through its technological advantages and economy of scale. Cloud computing is a promising enabling technology of Internet ware Cloud Computing is termed as the...

Cloud computing is a model that provides services through internet to its users. It enables users to put their data and services on the internet and same can access through internet. The most challenging task of cloud computing is resource allocation. In this paper, challenges of cloud computing are addressed in which resource allocation is one of the main challenges. Resource allocation and it...

The Internet of Things plays a central role in the foreseen shift of the Internet to the Future Internet, as it incarnates the drastic expansion of the Internet network with non-classical ICT devices. It will further be a major source of evolution of usage, due to the penetration in the user’s life. As such, we envision that the Internet of Things will cooperate with the Internet of Services to...
