Global network innovation requires large-scale distributed test facilities that are similar to the typically multidomain real-world environments in order to ensure the agile adaptation of new concepts, architectures, technologies and protocols from prototyping through testing into production. Virtualization, in general, allows network researchers to create insulated autonomous slices of product...

The objective of this paper explores a bibliometric approach to quantitatively evaluating the characteristics in the research aspect of home networking, retrieving the related literature information (1981–2009) at Engineering Village 2 (Ei) database. The results of this study reveal that the literature production on home networking that grow exponentially with an annual growth rate about 20%. T...

This paper presents the results of an online survey which was conducted to analyse the use of social web in the context of daily news. Users’ motivation and habit in the news consumption were focused. Moreover, users’ news behaviour was distinguished in three purposes such news consumption, news production and news dissemination to find out if the usage has a passive or active character. In a s...

Energy efficiency is becoming increasingly important in the operation of networking infrastructure, especially in enterprise and data center networks. Researchers have proposed several strategies for energy management of networking devices. However, we need a comprehensive characterization of power consumption by a variety of switches and routers to accurately quantify the savings from the vari...

Design and production of small series for specific customer target groups in collaborative networks can help companies to increase their competitiveness. This paper aims to describe a new framework of services for collaborative networking for on-demand productions. After describing the business processes that need to be supported by innovative tools for partner search and collaborative producti...

The softwarization and cloudification of networks through mechanisms like Software Defined Networking and Network Functions Virtualisation promise a new degree of flexibility and agility. By moving logic from device firmware into application software and by applying mechanisms from software development, innovations can be introduced with lower effort. Concrete ways how to operate and orchestrat...
