Service Knowledge Discovery in Smart Machine Networks

The devices surrounding us become smarter and can autonomously form a network without requiring our intervention. However, our needs can be even better accommodated when the networked devices cooperate and complement each other’s capabilities. One of the initial steps towards achieving a cooperative platform of smart devices is the discovery of...

Collaborative and cognitive network platforms: Vision and research challenges

In this paper, we present a visionary concept referred to as Collaborative and Cognitive Network Platforms (CCNPs) as a future-proof solution for creating a dependable, self-organizing and self-managing communication substrate for effective ICT solutions to societal problems. CCNP creates a cooperative communication platform to support critical...

An investigation of link quality assessment for mobile multi-hop and multi-rate wireless networks

Wireless ad hoc networks will be an important component in future communication systems. The performance of wireless ad hoc networks can be improved by link quality-aware applications. Wireless link quality is dynamic in nature, especially in mobile scenarios. Therefore, accurate and fast packet delivery ratio estimation is a prerequisite to...

Personal Networks: Overview and Standardization Needs

This Ecma Technical Report explores Personal Networks (PNs) and their extensions. PNs provide secure and ubiquitous communication between (personal) devices over multiple network technologies. PNs provide automatic configuration of networking, security, and offers users access to their Services across their PNs. This Technical Report introduces...
