Cognitive networks

by Ryan W. Thomas, Luiz A. DaSilva, Allen B. MacKenzie - IN PROC. OF IEEE DYSPAN 2005 , 2005
"... This paper presents a definition and framework for a novel type of adaptive data network: the cognitive network. In a cognitive network, the collection of elements that make up the network observes network conditions and then, using prior knowledge gained from previous interactions with the network ..."

with the network, plans, decides and acts on this information. Cognitive networks are different from other “intelligent ” communication technologies because these actions are taken with respect to the end-to-end goals of a data flow. In addition to the cognitive aspects of the network, a specification language

A Survey on Sensor Networks

by Lan F. Akyildiz, Welljan Su, Yogesh Sankarasubramaniam, Erdal Cayirci , 2002

A blueprint for introducing disruptive technology into the internet

by Larry Peterson, Tom Anderson, David Culler, Timothy Roscoe , 2002
"... This paper argues that a new class of geographically distributed network services is emerging, and that the most effective way to design, evaluate, and deploy these services is by using an overlay-based testbed. Unlike conventional network testbeds, however, we advocate an approach that supports bot ..."

Towards an Active Network Architecture

by David L. Tennenhouse, David J. Wetherall - Computer Communication Review , 1996
"... Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which we are most interested, replaces packets with "capsules" -- program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit ..."
