Special issue on mobile computing for content/service-oriented networking architecture

摘要

Today Internet users pay close attention to their requested services and are concerned about the efficiency, reliability and security of acquiring contents and services, rather than just knowing their locations. To address this new communication paradigm, many challenging issues have arisen such as virtualization, on-demand and dynamic dissemination/migration, green mobile networking, data collection and monitoring, network security and service assurance. The accepted ten papers in this special issue are devoted to the most recent developments and research addressing various theoretical and practical aspects on mobile computing for content/service-oriented networking architecture. The papers are built on analytical modelling, experimental and simulation studies. The contributions of these papers are outlined below.
