The Internet is a remarkable catalyst for creativity, collaboration and innovation providing us today with amazing possibilities that just two decades ago would have been impossible to imagine. Our challenge today is to prepare a trip into the future: what will be the Internet in ten twenty years from now and what more amazing things will it offer to people? In order to see what the future will bring, we first need to consider some important challenges that the Internet faces today. European scientists proved that they are at the forefront of Internet research already since the invention of the web. But the challenges are huge and complex and cannot be dealt with in isolation. The European Future Internet Assembly is the vehicle to a fruitful scientific dialogue, bringing together the different scientific disciplines that contribute to the future Internet development. Until now, scientists from more than 90 research projects were funded with around 300 million euros under the 7th Framework Programme. Another 400 million euros will be made available in the near future. These amounts coupled with private investments bring the total investment to more than a billion euros, showing Europes commitment to address the challenges of the future Internet. Towards the Future Internet is a peer-reviewed collection of scientific papers addressing some of the challenges ahead that will shape the Internet of the future. The selected papers are representative of the research carried out by EU-funded projects in the field.IOS Press is an international science, technical and medical publisher of high-quality books for academics, scientists, and professionals in all fields. Some of the areas we publish in: -Biomedicine -Oncology -Artificial intelligence -Databases and information systems -Maritime engineering -Nanotechnology -Geoengineering -All aspects of physics -E-governance -E-commerce -The knowledge economy -Urban studies -Arms control -Understanding and responding to terrorism -Medical informatics -Computer Sciences

This European initiative, in the form of a collection of scientific works in a plethora of challenging research domains, sails into the uncharted waters of future generations of the Internet. The way the book is structured and enhanced makes it an ideal reference book for managers, academics, researchers, and system designers in the communications field. The book presents 32 research papers, each supported by a long list of references; the papers are also available on the publisher's site (http://www.booksonline.iospress.nl/Content/View.aspx__?__piid=12006). It provides an assortment of works in seven key areas of research related to future generations of the Internet: socioeconomics; trust and identity; research and experimentation; management and service-aware networking architectures; service offering; content networks; and real-world Internet. The preface is by two research directors at the European Commission. A short introduction by the editorial team outlines the issues discussed in the text. The book is further complemented by subject and author indexes. The book provides European direction and presents research initiatives for future generations of the Internet. While it is appropriate for readers looking for a forward-thinking reference book, including students and instructors of relevant courses and professionals, it exists mainly as a working tool for researchers and designers of next-generation systems.
