Autonomic Computing and Networking presents introductory and advanced topics on autonomic computing and networking with emphasis on architectures, protocols, services, privacy & security, simulation and implementation testbeds. Autonomic computing and networking are new computing and networking paradigms that allow the creation of self-managing and self-controlling computing and networking environments using techniques such as distributed algorithms and context-awareness to dynamically control networking functions without human interventions. Autonomic networking is characterized by recovery from failures and malfunctions, agility to changing networking environment, self-optimization and self-awareness. The self-control and management features can help to overcome the growing complexity and heterogeneity of exiting communication networks and systems. The realization of fully autonomic heterogeneous networking introduces several research challenges in all aspects of computing and networking and related fields.

Introduces the first compiled state-of-the-art research findings, technologies, tools and innovations that provide sufficient reference material for researchers and practitioners in industry and academia Provides a comprehensive technical guide covering the introductory and advanced concepts that can serve as a reference material to graduate students in the fields of computing, engineering and computer engineering Provides detailed discussions on key research challenges and open research issues that are of great importance to graduate students and practitioners who intend to do research and contribute to the achievement of the goal of autonomic computing and networking Serves as a guideline and gives insights to professional and industrial standards organizations for developing future standards in autonomic computing, communications and networking Provides valuable information on existing experimental studies including case studies, simulation tools and implementation testbeds in industry and academia that can be used for validation of theories and analytical results by researchers and practitioners at various levels Contains illustrative figures enabling easy reading. Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras

Klappentext

Autonomic Computing and Networking serves as a technical guide and reference material for engineers, scientists, practitioners, and researchers by providing them with state-of-the-art research activities and future opportunities and trends. The contributions made by prominent researchers from academia and industry include state-of-the-art architectures, protocols, technologies, and applications in pervasive computing and wireless networking. In particular, the book covers existing and emerging communications and computing models, design architectures, mobile and wireless applications, technology and research issues in autonomic computing systems and communications.

Important features include:

A comprehensive reference on autonomic computing and networking,
State-of-the-art techniques used in the field,
Illustrative figures enabling easy reading, and
Emerging trends and open research problems and issues.

The material is organized into two sections: autonomic computing and autonomic networking. With a total of eighteen chapters, each section contains nine chapters addressing existing and emerging architectures, protocols, and applications.
