Introduction:
The emerging world is pervasive and strives towards integrating people,
technology, environment and knowledge. This emerging vision is moving
towards approaches that set the user at the centre of attention, while
technology becomes invisible, hidden in the natural surrounding, but still
functional, autonomous, self-adaptive, present when needed and interactive.
Achieving this vision requires innovative network architectures and
services. Communication/networking approaches should become task- and
knowledge-driven, enabling a service oriented, requirement and trust driven
development of communication networks. The growing complexity of control
requires increasingly distributed and self-organizing structures, relying on
simple and dependable elements that are able to collaborate to produce
sophisticated behaviors and that can adapt to an evolving situation, in
which new resources can become available, administrative domains can change
and economic models can vary accordingly. The networking and seamless
integration of concepts, technologies, devices in a dynamically changing
environment sets many challenges to the research community, including
interoperability, programmability, management, openness, reliability,
performance, context awareness, intelligence, autonomy, security, privacy,
safety, semantics, etc. This edited volume explores the challenges in
technologies that will help realize the vision where devices and
applications seamlessly interconnect, intelligently cooperate and
autonomously manage themselves, and as a result, the borders of virtual and
real world will vanish or become significantly blurred.
