This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th IFIP TC 6/WG 6.1 International Conference on Testing Communicating Systems, TestCom 2006. The 23 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from initially 48 submissions. The papers address all current issues in testing communicating systems, ranging from classical telecommunication issues to general software testing.
Mobile agents refer to self-contained and identi?able computer programs that can move within the network and can act on behalf of the user or another entity. Most of the current research work on the mobile agent paradigm has two general goals: reduction of network traf?c and asynchronous interaction. These two goals stem directly from the desire to reduce information overload and to ef?ciently use network resources. There are certainly many motivations for the use of a mobile agent paradigm; h- ever, intelligent information retrieval, network and mobility management, and network services are currently the three most cited application targets for a mobile agent system. The aim of the workshop...
The beginning of the twenty-first century is characterized by global markets, and the mobility of people is becoming an important fact of life. Consequently, the mobile user is demanding appropriate technical solutions to make use of customized information and communication services. In this context the notion of next-generation networks (NGNs), which are driven by the convergence of the entertainment sector, the mobile Internet, and fixed/mobile telecommunications, is emerging. Such NGNs are aggregating a variety of different access networks and supporting the seamless connection of an open set of end-user devices, and due to the adoption of an all-IP network paradigm they enable a much bet...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed proceedings of the 8th International Conference on e-Infrastructure and e-Services for Developing Countries, AFRICOMM 2016, held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, in December 2016. The 44 papers were carefully selected from 57 submissions and cover topics such as: mobile and social networks; cloud, VPN and overlays; IoT, water, land, agriculture; networks, TVWS; learning; crypto and services.
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Second International ICST Conference on e-Infrastructure and e-Services for Developing Countries, AFRICOM 2010, held in Cape Town, South Africa, in November 2010. The 13 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected and cover a wide range of topics such as wireless network technologies, E-governance, as well as ICT for development and ICT business models and open-access.
Research in the telecommunications ?eld suggests that future network infrastructures will be composed of sensors, wireless devices, personal digital assistants, networked appliances and numerous types of services. This brings up key issues such as unfamiliar users and service interfaces, discovering services that match user’s needs, ?nding and tracking people and resources, establishing useful contacts and appropriate associations between resources and users, and managing a large number of dynamic network entities all of which must be performed in an automated and proactive manner with a certain degree of autonomy and mobility. These are the main characteristics exhibited by mobile softwar...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 4th International ICST Conference on e-Infrastructure and e-Services for Developing Countries, AFRICOMM 2012, held in Yaounde, Cameroon, in November 2012. The 24 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. The papers cover a wide range of topics in the field of information and communication infrastructures and are grouped in topical sections on: e-Infrastructure, e-Services, e-Society, e-Health, and e-Security.
6G Wireless: The Communication Paradigm Beyond 2030 offers a thorough discussion of some key emerging technologies such as Intelligent Reflecting Surface (IRS), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), Aerial Computing, Terahertz (THz) Communications, Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) and Rate Splitting Multiple Access (RSMA). The book provides a comprehensive coverage of the vision, requirements, use cases, enabling technologies, and challenges for the future 6G wireless communication systems. This includes discussions on how 6G and future IoT systems will enable extremely low latency healthcare systems, smart industry, haptic communications, programmable wireless environment (PWE), advanced VR/...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 19th IFIP TC 6/WG 6.1 International Conference on Testing Communicating Systems, TestCom 2007, and the 7th International Workshop on Formal Approaches to Testing of Software, FATES 2007, held in Tallinn, Estonia. It covers all current issues in testing communicating systems and formal approaches in testing of software, from classical telecommunication issues to general software testing.
The book is intended to provide readers with a comprehensive reference for the most current developments in the field. It offers broad coverage of important topics with eighteen chapters covering both technology and applications written by international experts.
