Internet Technologies

 

In the current and the envisioned future Internet, a variety of new technologies and applications is emerging. New networking architectures and design concepts are to be developed which consider interactions with the real world, as well as emerging issues like energy-efficiency or socio-economic aspects. A holistic view is necessary which takes into account the network of the Future, the Internet of services, media and enterprise Internet, but also the Internet of Things. However, there are still significant challenges for the theoretical understanding and on the deployment of Internet technologies.

The goal of the Internet technology track is to bring together people from academia and industry and to stimulate discussions on future Internet applications and future wireline and wireless Internet architectures to accelerate their development. We seek papers describing original, previously unpublished research results.

A panel session on the "Performance Issues in Future Internet Architectures -- Myths and Realities" is to be organized by Markus Fiedler from Euro-NF. The panel aims at bringing together European and Australasian experts and presenting their viewpoints.
Title: "Euro-NF panel: Performance Issues in Future Internet Architectures -- Myths and Realities".
Organised by Markus Fiedler, Blekinge Institute of Technology, Sweden; Euro-NF.
