One of the most striking properties of the Internet is its flexibility to accommodate features it
was not conceived for. Among the most significant examples, in this survey we consider the …

Service and resource discovery has become an integral part of modern networked systems.
In this survey we give an overview of the existing solutions for service and resource …

The control, governance, and management of the web have become increasingly
centralised, resulting in security, privacy, and censorship concerns. Decentralised initiatives …

Cloud computing is an increasingly important solution for providing services deployed in
dynamically scalable cloud networks. Services in the cloud computing networks may be …

Most of the current trust models in peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are identity based, which
means that in order for one peer to trust another, it needs to know the other peer's identity …

Routing in communication networks involves the indirection from a persistent name (or ID) to
a locator and delivering packets based upon the locator. In a large-scale, highly dynamic …

Delay-tolerant networking is used for communication in challenged environments such as
MANETs, in which links are unstable and end-to-end paths between communicating nodes …

We develop a graph-theoretic model for service-oriented networks and propose metrics that
quantify the resilience of such networks under node and edge failures. These metrics are …

Real-time activity recognition is an important research problem, which has drawn the
attention of many researchers for many years. All previous works of real-time activity …

Vehicular Networks, including Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) and Vehicular Sensor
Networks (VSNs), stimulate a brand new variety of services, ranging from driver safety …
