Future Internet infrastructures research is therefore a must. The Future Internet Assembly (FIA) is a successful conference that brings together participants of over 150 research projects from several distinct yet interrelated areas in the European Union Framework Programme 7 (FP7). The research projects are grouped as follows: the network of the future as infrastructure connecting and orchestrating the future Internet of people, computers, devices, content, clouds and things; cloud computing, Internet of Services and advanced software engineering; the public-private partnership projects on Future Internet; Future Internet Research and Experimentation (FIRE). The 26 full papers included in this volume were selected from 45 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: software driven networks, virtualization, programmability and autonomic management; computing and networking clouds; internet of things; and enabling technologies and economic incentives.




Management Enabling the Future Internet for Changing Business and New Computing Services


Book Description

We are delighted to present the proceedings of the 12th Asia-Paci?c Network Operations and Management Symposium (APNOMS 2009), which was held in Jeju, Korea, during September 23–25, 2009. Recently, various convergences in wired and wireless networks, and conv- gence of telecommunications and broadcastings, are taking place for ubiquitous multimedia service provisioning. For example, broadband IP/MPLS wired n- works are actively converged with IEEE 802.11e wireless LAN, IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN, 3G/4G wireless cellular networks, and direct multimedia bro- cast (DMB) networks. For e?cient support of service provisioning for ubiq- tous multimedia services on the broadband convergencenetworks, well-designed and implemented network operations and management functions with Q- guaranteed tra?c engineering are essential. The converged network will open the way for a new world with emerging new businesses and computing services. The Organizing Committee (OC) selected “Management Enabling the Future Internet for Changing Business and New Computing Services” as the timely theme of APNOMS 2009. Contributions from academia, industry and research institutions met these challengeswith173papersubmissions,fromwhich41high-qualitypapers(23.7% of the submissions) were selected for technical sessions as full papers, and 32 papers were selected as short papers. In addition, we had nine papers in - novation sessions for on-going research. Diverse topics were covered, including Tra?c Trace Engineering, Con?guration and Fault Management, Management of IP-Based Networks, Autonomous and Distributed Control, Sensor Network and P2P Management, Converged Networks and Tra?c Engineering, SLA and QoS Management, Active and Security Management, Wireless and Mobile N- work Management, and Security Management.

Digital and Social Media Marketing


Book Description

This book examines issues and implications of digital and social media marketing for emerging markets. These markets necessitate substantial adaptations of developed theories and approaches employed in the Western world. The book investigates problems specific to emerging markets, while identifying new theoretical constructs and practical applications of digital marketing. It addresses topics such as electronic word of mouth (eWOM), demographic differences in digital marketing, mobile marketing, search engine advertising, among others. A radical increase in both temporal and geographical reach is empowering consumers to exert influence on brands, products, and services. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and digital media are having a significant impact on the way people communicate and fulfil their socio-economic, emotional and material needs. These technologies are also being harnessed by businesses for various purposes including distribution and selling of goods, retailing of consumer services, customer relationship management, and influencing consumer behaviour by employing digital marketing practices. This book considers this, as it examines the practice and research related to digital and social media marketing.




The Future Internet


Book Description

Irrespective of whether we use economic or societal metrics, the Internet is one of the most important technical infrastructures in existence today. It will be a catalyst for much of our innovation and prosperity in the future. A competitive Europe will require Internet connectivity and services beyond the capabilities offered by current technologies. Future Internet research is therefore a must. This book is published in full compliance with the Open Access publishing initiative; it is based on the research carried out within the Future Internet Assembly (FIA). It contains a sample of representative results from the recent FIA meetings spanning a broad range of topics, all being of crucial importance for the future Internet. The book includes 32 contributions and has been structured into the following sections, each of which is preceded by a short introduction: Foundations: architectural issues; socio-economic issues; security and trust; and experiments and experimental design. Future Internet Areas: networks, services, and content; and applications.




Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems


Book Description

Following the success of the First MOBILIGHT 2009 in Athens, Greece, the Second International Conference on Mobile Lightweight Systems (MOBILIGHT) was held in Barcelona, Spain on May 10-12, 2010. It was not an easy decision to carry on organizing a scientific event on wireless communications, where competition is really enormous. This decision was motivated by discussion with many colleagues about the current unprecedented demand for lig- weight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment. Such devices follow the users everywhere they go (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc. ) and result in exciting research, development and business opportunities. Such scenarios clearly demand significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the “anytime, anywhere, any device” philosophy, providing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on - search and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire for 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services. In this context, we continue to envision an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in lightweight wireless systems’ design and deployment would be able to interact and exchange experiences.
