Special Issue on
Activated &
Programmable Internet:
The Converging Technologies for the Internet based Active and
Programmable Systems.
in the Journal of Computer Communications
Guest Editor: Prof. Javed I. Khan, Kent State
University
Over the last few years a number of paradigms have emerged on the
converging theme of the activated Internet. Paradigms trace back to
vastly different origins, but converge on the unifying theme—where the
Internet is not only a large network but also a confederated
computing and communication platform. The spectrum ranges from grid
networking, content services networking, active and programmable
networks, sensor computing to the very recent automatic
computing.
- Application
services on peer-to-peer networks have recently toppled the Web as
the leading consumer of backbone bandwidth. Active proxies are opening
a new horizon for such services.
- Active
networking aims at new network services by adding programmability
to
network devices.
- Programmable
networking is exploring how the existing protocols on
internetworking devices can be made versatile by making their features
programmable via open interfaces.
- Grid
computing targets scientific computing over massive number of
networked computers, supercomputers, and massive storage.
- The
latest-- automatic programming envisions the
internet as the ultimate computing platform where resources can be
adaptively congregated, used, and dismantled- all based on services’
need.
The objective of this special issue
of
the Journal of Computer & Communication is to showcase some of the
brilliant and recent research in these convergent paradigms which
merit potential cross fertilization. Authors are
encouraged to submit high-quality papers dealing with original and
innovative results along the themes. Both theoretical
and practical results are highly welcome. Also we are looking for novel
implementation reports. Topics of particular interest
include but are not limited to the following:
- Theory,
Model & Framework:
- Languages
and models of programmability
- OS
and environments for programming
- Models
& framework for netcentric applications & services
- Architectures
& Protocols:
- Programmable
network and grid architecture & hardware
- Server
architecture for web based computing & service
- QoS,
resource management & synchronization of active systems
- Security
and privacy models for safe internet computing
- Ubiquity,
global portability and mobility architectures
- Peer-to-peer
systems with programmable transport protocols.
- Extensible
network or grid signaling protocols
- Service
dissemination and discovery protocols
- Application,
Services, Implementation & System Reports:
- Services
on active and programmable networks.
- Integrated
content and application services involving proxy.
- Sensor
computing.
- Grid
applications.
- Automatic
services & applications.
