The current Internet architecture was founded upon a host-centric communication model,
which was appropriate for co** with the needs of the early Internet users. Internet usage …

A large number of distributed applications requires continuous and timely processing of
information as it flows from the periphery to the center of the system. Examples include …

Wireless Sensor Networks provides a thorough description of the nuts and bolts of wireless …

This work proposes a routing scheme for content-based networking. A content-based
network is a communication network that features a new advanced communication model …

In this paper, we argue that there is a need for an event-based middleware to build large-
scale distributed systems. Existing publish/subscribe systems still have limitations compared …

Networking research funding agencies in USA, Europe, Japan, and other countries are

This paper presents an algorithm for content-based forwarding, an essential function in
content-based networking. Unlike in traditional address-based unicast or multicast networks …

In the last few years a new research area, called stream reasoning, emerged to bridge the
gap between reasoning and stream processing. While current reasoning approaches are …

The paper proposes a novel distributed service discovery protocol for pervasive
environments. The protocol is based on the concepts of peer-to-peer caching of service …

Today, the architecture of distributed computer systems is dominated by client/server
platforms relying on synchronous request/reply. This architecture is not well suited to …
