			<description><![CDATA[Mobile wireless ad hoc networks (MANETs) are a rapidly evolving telecommunications technology. Their popularity is connected with their easy deployment and fast configuration. This book is targeted at a variety of readers with different levels of wireless network knowledge. Most of the presented material focuses on different layer protocols for ad hoc networks. It covers practical applications review and cross-layer design aspects, as well as quality of service (QoS), energy, and mobility issues. The book consists of ten chapters, and begins with a short introduction to wireless and ad hoc networks. Each chapter includes a short introduction in which the motivation can be found. At the end of each chapter, final conclusions are given that summarize the presented knowledge. In addition, extensive bibliography sections for deeper reading are attached to the end of each chapter. The book should be attractive to students and graduate students as well as lecturers and network engineers.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Core networks of the future will have a translucent and eventually transparent optical structure. Ultra-high-speed end-to-end connectivity with high quality of service and high reliability will be realized through the exploitation of optimized protocols and lightpath routing algorithms. These algorithms will complement a flexible control and management plane integrated in the proposed solution. Physical layer impairments and optical performance are monitored and incorporated in impairment-aware lightpath routing algorithms. These algorithms will be integrated into a novel dynamic network planning tool that will consider dynamic traffic characteristics, a reconfigurable optical layer, and varying physical impairment and component characteristics. The network planning tool along with extended control planes will make it possible to realize the vision of optical transparency. This article presents a novel framework that addresses dynamic cross-layer network planning and optimization while considering the development of a future transport network infrastructure.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article presents a novel application-aware network architecture for evolving and emerging IT services and applications. It proposes to enrich an optical burst switching network with a session control layer that can close the gap between application requests and network control. The session control layer is implemented using the session initiation protocol, giving birth to what is called a SIP-OBS architecture. The article discusses the important added value of this architecture, and shows that it may support a number of end-to-end resource discovery and reservation strategies (for both network and non-network resources). Finally, it presents a testbed implementation where this approach was experimentally validated.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=4939263&arnumber=4939277]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[In the last 15 years, numerous investigations by both academia and industry have been carried out in the field of all-optical WDM networks' design. In all-optical - or transparent - WDM networks, data is transmitted from its source to its destination in optical form, switching/routing operations being performed in the optical domain without undergoing any optical-to-electrical conversion. Optical transparency may considerably reduce network infrastructures' cost and extend the range of services offered by the carriers. Designing an all-optical network consists of assigning to each traffic demand an endto- end optical circuit, also called "lightpath." In such networks, the problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) aims to find an adequate route and an adequate wavelength for each traffic demand subject to the wavelength continuity constraint and limited network resources. The feasibility of the obtained lightpaths in terms of admissible quality of transmission (QoT) presents another difficulty. Indeed, according to the state of technology, various physical impairments degrade the quality of the optical signal along its propagation. Optical fibers and optical amplifiers as well as optical switching/routing nodes impact on end-to-end QoT. In this context only translucent networks are achievable, for instance, at a pan-European or pan-American scale. A translucent network uses electrical regenerators at intermediate nodes only when it is necessary to improve the signal budget. The cost of a network is roughly proportional to average number of input/output ports of a node. Knowing that today an optical port is five times less expensive than an electrical one, sparse regeneration allows translucent WDM networks to meet the QoT requirements and achieve performance measures close to those obtained by fully opaque networks at much lower cost. In this article we propose a state of the art in the field of impairment-aware RWA (IA-RWA), starting from the case of pred-
-
ictable traffic demands to the open problem of stochastic traffic demands. An economic analysis of the IA-RWA problem is proposed to justify the concept of translucent networks. The case of multi-domain lightpath establishment is also considered. Several examples of still open problems are mentioned in the article. Most of the concepts and results presented in this article refer to the FP7 DICONET European project in which the authors are involved.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=4939263&arnumber=4939278]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[Integration and full interoperability are challenging areas of research in wide area networks today. A European project, MUPBED, has recently concluded and achieved the main result of integrating and demonstrating technologies and network solutions that enable the operation of future European research infrastructures capable of supporting advanced applications. The achieved results are largely valid for any multidomain network scenario. The test network set up by the project is a prototype multidomain optical network able to provide connectivity on demand services across multiple domains directly driven by the applications. Rather than implementing ex novo a unified control plane and replacing existing equipment, the project approach has been to enable seamless interworking of different control planes by means of ASON/GMPLS and standardized network interfaces. This was done in accomplishment of the project target, which was to test and trial a common migration path toward the future European research network that should be followed by national research and education network operators, together with commercial operators. This article describes the main aspects of the MUPBED experience, which by its own peculiar nature provides deep insight into the most recent evolution of control-plane-enabled optical networking toward multidomain integration. Topics covered by the project and briefly related here include network architecture, applications, protocol and control software development, standardization issues, design, analysis and simulation, testing, measurement, and monitoring.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Security and reliability issues are of utmost importance in transparent optical networks due to the extremely large fiber throughput. Fast and successful reaction and restoration mechanisms performed by failure management can prevent loss of large amounts of critical data, which can cause severe service disruption. In this article we discuss failure management issues in TONs, the mechanisms involved, and optical monitoring techniques. Furthermore, we propose applying structural properties of self-organizing systems to create a "small world" hybrid supervisory plane that can enable faster system-wide communication. We also investigate the possibility of a scale-free structure aimed at improving robustness in the network and propose various topology generation algorithms.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Digital communication is both pervasive and vital across society. This creates a growing public interest in the technical standards that proscribe public communications. The public is demanding open standards. The rallying cry "Open Standards" means different things to different groups. This article reviews the different needs of specific groups of society and develops ten different requirements for open standards. To implement these requirements, changes to the rules and procedures of standardization organizations, international bodies (e.g., WIPO, WTO), and national patent office rules are proposed. Interestingly, technical changes, in the form of new standardized protocols, rather than legal or policy changes, appear to be the most important changes to meet the requirements of open standards."Standards function as feathers that guide the arrow of technology. While feathers are light and seemingly trivial on an arrow's shaft, without feathers, few arrows find their mark. Without standards, few technologies find their market"]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The mobile communications market has grown rapidly over the past ten years, but the market could reach saturation in the foreseeable future. More flexible mobile networks that can meet various user demands and create new market openings are required for further growth. Heterogeneous networks are more suitable than homogeneous networks for meeting a wide variety of user demands. There are two types of heterogeneous networks: a closed type, where network resources are deployed and operated by communication carriers, and an open type, where network resources can be deployed not only by existing operators, but also by companies, universities, and so on. It will be easy for newcomers to enter mobile businesses in an open heterogeneous mobile network so many innovative services are likely to be provided through cooperation between various companies or organizations. This article proposes a revised architecture for TISPAN-NGN, which corresponds to heterogeneous networks and open mobile markets, and presents a new business model.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Quantum-key distribution has been studied as an ultimate method for secure communications, and now it is emerging as a technology that can be deployed in real fiber networks. Here, we present our QKD experiments based on the differential- phase-shift QKD protocol. A DPSQKD system has a simple configuration that is easy to implement with conventional optical communication components, and it is suitable for a high-clock rate system. Moreover, although the DPS-QKD system is implemented with an attenuated laser source, it is inherently secure against strong eavesdropping attacks called photon number-splitting attacks, which pose a serious threat to conventional QKD systems with attenuated laser sources. We also describe three types of single-photon detectors that are suitable for high-speed, long-distance QKD: an up-conversion detector, a superconducting single-photon detector, and a sinusoidally gated InGaAs avalanche photodiode.

			<description><![CDATA[Next-generation networks promise to provide a richer set of applications for the end user, creating a network platform that enables the rapid creation of new services. Significant progress has been made in the standardization of NGN architecture and protocols, but little progress has been made on open APIs. This article outlines the importance of open APIs and the current achievements of the standards bodies. It concludes with a brief set of issues that standards bodies must resolve in relation to these APIs.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Wireless communications for intelligent transportation systems promise to be a key technology for avoiding the traffic nightmares of today - accidents and traffic jams. But there is one major challenge to be overcome before such a cooperative system can be put into place: standardization. This article provides an overview of the technical developments in Europe and their convergence toward a set of European standards. We address the current state of the standardization activities and the potential scenarios and use cases, and we describe the fundamental concepts of a European communication architecture for cooperative systems.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Intelligent transportation systems have been under development since at least the early 1990s. The rationale behind the concept is to automate the interactions among vehicles and infrastructure to achieve high levels of security, comfort, and efficiency. Communications, in general, and networking, in particular, have been essential elements in the evolution of these systems. The IEEE has developed a system architecture known as WAVE to provide wireless access in vehicular environments. This article gives an overview of the associated standards. The presentation loosely follows the order of the layers of the open systems interconnection model.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Simulation is the predominant tool used in research related to vehicular ad hoc networks. In this article we first present the key requirements for accurate simulations that arise from the various applications supported by VANETs, and review the current state-of the-art VANET simulation tools. We then present VGSim, an integrated networking and microscopic vehicular mobility simulation platform. VGSim provides full-fledged wireless network simulation with an accurate traffic mobility model. These two components are tightly integrated and can interact dynamically. We discuss the flexibility of VGSim in adopting different mobility models and also present simulation results that empirically validate the modified mobility model we implemented. We discuss how VANET applications can be easily modeled in VGSim, and demonstrate this using two important applications, Accident Alert and Variable Speed Limit.]]></description>

			<link><![CDATA[http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpls/abs_all.jsp?isnumber=4939263&arnumber=4939290]]></link>
			<description><![CDATA[In this article we introduce a new cellular automata approach to construct an urban traffic mobility model. Based on the developed model, characteristics of global traffic patterns in urban areas are studied. Our results show that different control mechanisms used at intersections such as cycle duration, green split, and coordination of traffic lights have a significant effect on intervehicle spacing distribution and traffic dynamics. These findings provide important insights into the network connectivity behavior of urban traffic, which are essential for designing appropriate routing protocols for vehicular ad hoc networks in urban scenarios.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article surveys the major existing approaches and proposes a novel architecture to support mobile networks in network-based, localized mobility domains. Our architecture enables conventional terminals without mobility support to obtain connectivity either from fixed locations or mobile platforms (e.g., vehicles) and move between them, while keeping their ongoing sessions. This functionality offers broadband Internet access in automotive scenarios such as public transportation systems, where users spend time both in vehicles and at stations. The key advantage of our proposal, as compared with current alternatives, is that the described mobile functionality is provided to conventional IP devices that lack mobility functionality. We also performed an experimental evaluation of our proposal that shows that our architecture improves the quality perceived by the end users.]]></description>
