Subject: [GKD] CFP: Special Issue on Activated and Programmable Internet
Call for Papers
Special Issue on Activated and Programmable Internet:
The Converging Technologies for the Internet based Active, Programmable
& Computing Systems.
Journal of Computer Communications
Guest Editor: Prof. Javed I. Khan, Kent State University

SCOPE:
Over the last few years a number of paradigms have emerged on the
converging theme of the activated Internet. Paradigms trace back to
vastly different origins, but converge on the unifying theme^Twhere the
Internet is not only a large network but also a confederated computing
and communication platform. The spectrum ranges from grid networking,
content services networking, active and programmable networks, sensor
computing to the very recent automatic computing.
* Application services on peer-to-peer networks have recently toppled
the Web as the leading consumer of backbone bandwidth. Active proxies
are opening a new horizon for such services.
* Active networking aims at new network services by adding
programmability to network devices.
* Programmable networking is exploring how the existing protocols on
internetworking devices can be made versatile by making their features
programmable via open interfaces.
* Grid computing targets scientific computing over massive number of
networked computers, supercomputers, and massive storage.
* The latest-- automatic programming envisions the internet as the
ultimate computing platform where resources can be adaptively
congregated, used, and dismantled- all based on services' need.
The objective of this special issue of the Journal of Computer &
Communication is to showcase some of the brilliant and recent research
in these convergent paradigms which merit potential cross fertilization.
Authors are encouraged to submit high-quality papers dealing with
original and innovative results along the themes. Both theoretical and
practical results are highly welcome. Topics of particular interest
include but are not limited to the following:
Theory, Model & Framework
* Languages and models of network programmability
* OS and environments for network programming
* Models & framework for netcentric applications & services
Architectures & Protocols:
* Programmable network architecture & hardware
* Server architecture for web based computing & service
* QoS, resource management & synchronization of active systems
* Security and privacy models for safe internet computing
* Ubiquity, global portability and mobility architectures
* Peer-to-peer systems with programmable transport protocols
* Extensible network signaling protocols
* Service dissemination and discovery protocols
Applications & Services:
* Services on active and programmable networks
* Integrated content and application services involving proxy
* Sensor computing
* Grid applications
* Automatic services & applications
