Future Internet

The Internet has been initially used for information exchange and browsing. Currently, the Internet is being used for much more things (e.g., entertainment, politics, banking, shopping and trading) and one cannot live without it these days. However, the Internet has many problems with important issues such as quality of service and security. Recently, researchers have been working on redesigning the Internet, which is now being referred to as the Future Internet. There are mainly two approaches: evolutionary and revolutionary (or clean slate). In this course, we review the current Internet and investigate its problems. We will also examine the two approaches for designing the Future Internet. And we will focus on the manageability aspect of the Future Internet. We will then discuss and come up with possible areas or methods for overcoming the existing problems for the Future Internet. So, this class will be discussed principles and technologies arising from the need to spread the research areas of Future Internet.
