New paradigms for communication/networking systems are needed in order to tackle the emerging issues such as heterogeneity, complexity and management of evolvable infrastructures. Such advanced systems possess a composition of characteristics including: Situated: they sense and react locally onto environment and context changes. Autonomously managed: their actions are decided using local knowledge and self-managing principles. Colloborative: they communicate and share knowledge optimizing functionality for suvivability. The intelligence of such networks relies not on the nodes themselves, but is directly associated with their size, complexity, communication and collaboration capabilities. Self-organizing: they reorganize and form communities on-the-fly based on the local/global goals and communication needs. Highly distributed: they use decentralized optimization strategies and cross-layer or non-layered approaches should be applicable. Technology independent: they will be built on abstraction layers that make it possible to develop modular approaches where software and hardware components can be exchanged on the fly.Scale-free: they can scale up to very large numbers without exhibiting any visible impact on the performance and functionality.In order to realize such advanced systems, communcation/networking approaches should become task-and knowledge-driven, enabling a service oriented, requirement and trust driven development of communication networks. This should allow developing networking technologies (hardware/software combinations) that can evolve and create maximal synergy with the other types of non-technological networks that consitute their context. The growing complexity of control requires increasingly distributed and self-organizing structures, relying on simple and dependable elements that are able to collaborate to produce sophisticated behaviors and that can adapt to an evolving situation, in which new resources can become available, administrative domains can change and economic models can vary accordingly.The networking and seamless integration of concepts, technologies, devies in a dynamically changing environment sets many many challenges to the research community, including interoperability, programmability, management, openness, reliability, performance, context awareness, intelligence, autonomy, security, privacy, safety, semantics, etc.This edited volume explores the challenges in technolgies that will help realize the vision where devices and applications seamlessly interconnect, intelligently cooperate and autonomously manage themselves, and as a result, the borders of virtual and real world will vanish or become significantly blurred.

There are a number of different system concepts that have gained much relevance in the area of embedded systems over the past couple of years. First, there is the classic concept of embedded systems where the focus is on control systems for physical processes. Secondly, the notion of pervasive computing has evolved, where the vision foresees everyday objects having some form of computation capacity and, in most cases, sensing and communication facilities. Thirdly, the notion of wireless sensor networks has arisen, where small computing devices are able to sense their environment and cooperate in order to achieve a well-defined goal. These three types of quite diverse systems share a lot of commonalities on the one hand and, on the other hand, have some complementary aspects in common that make a combination of these systems into a coherent system vision promising. In particular, the important notions of control, heterogeneity, wireless communication, dynamic and ad-hoc nature and cost are prevalent to various degrees in each of these systems. A future system concept needs to combine the strong points of all three system concepts in at least these functional aspects. It has to provide support for the control of physical processes like today’s embedded systems do, have as good support for device heterogeneity and spontaneity of usage as required by pervasive and ubiquitous computing approaches, and has to be as cost efficient and wirelessly agile as wireless sensor networks are. These new systems consist, therefore, of individual entities or objects that jointly strive to reach a common goal, which will typically be a goal in sensing or control, and are dynamically and loosely federating themselves for cooperation, taking care not to overtax their available resources. This book presents a roadmap to these concepts which are summarized as cooperating objects.

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.

This book provides a classification of current and future applications for the domain of Cooperating Objects. The book has been created with a very strong participation of the industry and taking into account current research trends and industrial roadmaps
