[Tccc] CFP: IEEE Network Special Issue on "New Applications and Emerging Services"

============================================================================
IEEE Network Magazine Special Issue on
"Future Internet: New Applications and Emerging Services"
(http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/ni/info/cfp/cfpnetwork0710.html)
============================================================================

Background

The Internet has been successfully deployed for several decades due to its
high flexibility in running over different physical mediums and supporting
different high layer protocols and applications including traditional file
transfer, e-mail, and client-server based web applications. Meanwhile, we
have witnessed the unprecedented development and growth of new applications
and services in recent years ranging from peer-to-peer (P2P) based
applications, image and video applications, location-based services, secured
transactions, online hosting services, machine-to-machine (M2M)
interactions, and cloud computing. These new applications and emerging
services have, in different degree, demanded better than the current
best-effort quality of service.

The future Internet is expected to be more agile, scalable, secure and
reliable, which has been considered and pursued in research projects such as
NSF FIND (Future Internet Design) and GENI (Global Environment for Network
Innovations) programs in the United States, and EIFFEL (Evolved Internet
Future for European Leadership) and FIREworks (Future Internet Research and
Experimentation - Strategy Works) projects in Europe. Such ever-emerging
applications with different requirements and implications for the future
Internet design pose a significantly new set of problems and challenges,
which are not well understood, specifically : 1) how can they be efficiently
provisioned in the future Internet? 2) how can the future Internet be
evolved and/or re-designed possible with radical changes to cater for new
applications and services? The goal of this special issue is to feature
recent and emerging Internet applications and services, their performance,
impact, demands and implications for future Internet design.
