EU Commission has launched research in the area of Situated and Autonomic Communication with the objectives

• To define a self-organising communication network concept and technology that can be situated in multiple and dynamic contexts, ranging from sensor networks to virtual networks of humans. This concept will require the definition of decentralised optimisation strategies and might benefit from cross-layer or non-layered approaches.
• To study how strategic needs of social or commercial nature impact on future communication paradigms, and how networks and applications can support society and economy, enabling a service oriented, requirement and trust driven development of communication networks. This should allow developing networking technologies (hardware/software combinations) that can evolve and create maximal synergy with the other types of non-technological networks that constitute their context.

The objective of this panel is to highlight the development of the proactive initiative and to disseminate to the ICNS community new ideas and approaches that  are emerging.

Panel Chair:

• Fabrizio Sestini, EU Commission
