Aims
To identify and study current issues related to the
state-of-the-art and the development of intelligent capabilities in
networks. These issues include the distribution, the management, the
control of every kind of algorithms inside the network. These
intelligent capabilities lead to the concept of autonomic networking.
Consequently to identify future trends of the network performance from
industrial as well as the academic point of view.
Scope
Smart Networks is concentrated on research on tools and services able
to be placed on top of network algorithms in order to adapt them. The
concept of smart networks was developed as a step to give the network a
way to adapt itself to changes within the environment and following
network conditions. New emerging research and technologies include
autonomic networking, Intelligent Agents, knowledge plane, situated
view, Configurable Architectures for Software and Hardware, Dependable
Reconfigurable Networks, Mobility Management,
QoS Management, Security Management, Flow Control, Mobility and Network Integration Issues.
