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.
