Future networks Sample Clauses

Future networks. An impressive research and development programme has been launched in Europe for the development of approaches and technologies for the deployment of future networks and services. It is interesting to see if and how these developments are in line with the migration toward living scenarios as the ones described e.g. in the ISTAG documents (ISTAG 2003). In the relevant Commission documents27 it is taken for granted that people will live in a Networked Future, in a world where they will be connected at any time (networks will allow people to stay permanently connected), anywhere (from personal to global environments and everything in between), to anything (all kind of objects and artefacts, and also software virtual objects). Evolutionary improvements to the current network will up to a point help sustaining the growth of the Internet, but are not enough to face the deep rooted weaknesses of Internet with regard to mobility, scalability, wireless generalisation, broadband evolution, multiplicity of services, environments and contexts to serve, security and trust.

The Internet was designed and primarily used by scientists for networking research and for exchanging information. However due to the explosion of the centralised World Wide Web (which has started as a document repository) and its successful descendants (Web 2.0 and P2P), along with the dramatic increase of net-based audio-visual material (networked media) that has been produced by professional and amateur users, the Internet is rapidly transforming to a fully-fledged virtual collaborative environment that facilitates media services, interaction and communication. Therefore the vision that the Future Internet will be an Internet of User Generated Media Content is about to be a reality soon. The vision of a Future Internet of User Generated Content poses many technological challenges. In particular, the future Internet should p...
