Future Internet

Concept Future Internet covers a group of technologies that will achieve the convergence of new types of core and access networks, emerging networking paradigms, and new content and services. It covers emerging technologies in several key areas and it is necessary to face some technological challenges: Because of the increasing number of users, devices and services, the challenges (from the network point of view) are routing and addressing scalability and dynamics, resource and data / traffic manageability and diagnosis. Security, privacy, trust, and accountability, requiring security to be built-in at design time. This challenge has also a strong policy dimension. Availability, ubiquity, and simplicity. Adaptability and the ability to evolve to heterogeneous environments, content, context / situation, and application needs (for example vehicular, ambient / domestic, industrial.) Mobility. Power-saving sustainability. Search ability / localization, selection, composition, and adaptation. Beyond digital communication, such as semantic (comprehension of things and content, and language.), haptic, and emotion. Trajectory Development of the Internet By and For People. It is important to satisfy people and community expectations by facilitating their continuous empowerment and self-arbitration, to ensure that access and use of information are universal rights. Development of an Internet of Contents and Knowledge, providing access by advanced search means and interaction with multimedia content (for example 3D and virtual reality). This can then be created and manipulated by professionals and non-professionals for distribution and sharing everywhere, on any terminal. Development of an Internet of Things. Creation of context-aware autonomic objects able to generate automatic code and human-controlled behaviors. This will exploit peer-to-peer bioinspired communication models. In other words, an Internet of Things is related to ubiquitous / pervasive computing where every ‘thing’ has some computing capability and all things are all joined up over a vast network. Software agents will make use of the Internet (or Multi-Agent Systems) and run things over the Internet, for example, machines, virtual assistants, robots, cars, and microwaves. There will also be a development of an Internet of Services. Service consumers will look for the perfect interactivity in context, where perfect means permanent, direct, seamless, and confident.
