which components autonomously achieve self-organization and self-adaptation towards the provision of adaptive and situated communication-intensive services. The scientific principles of situation awareness, semantic self-organization, self-*, similarity, and autonomic component-ware guide the project.” Simply put, the goal of Autonomic Networks is explained by Maurice Mulvenna: “What we will be exploring is how to make networks aware of what they are carrying and to make decisions based on that information.”
“CASCADAS considers a scenario in which dynamic and heterogeneous networks, possibly enriched with sensors and devices connecting with the physical world, have to host the dynamic deployment and execution of applications and services. Such applications and services have to serve users according to both their social situation and the current network and physical situations.”

Generally services must contain an interface to the Registry that will fetch their initial state, or an interface to a proxy service which passes them this information. |

communications over ubiquitous networks’ and ‘mesh networks of smart items and sensors.’
BIONETS (BIOlogically inspired NETwork and Services) is seeking to develop the architecture of communications and networks which will support millions and billions of small sensors and mobile devices – as such it is seeking self-managed systems for the Ubiquitous Computing and Pervasive Networks. BIONETS is sponsored by the European Commission. Several service providers participate as project partners. BIONETS sponsors this year’s Autonomics 2007 conference (www.autonomics.org) as well as bio-inspired methodologies and tools (www.bionetics.org).

Serenity is a recent R&D activity again funded by the EU. Within 3 years, Serenity is expected to produce an architecture for dependability and security in computers. 15 organizations are contributing to the project with Nokia and SAP principle industrial partners as well as Italy’s Deep Blue. Results in little more than a year of activity are rather impressive.
“Ambient intelligence is the idea that people will be surrounded by intelligent and intuitive interfaces embedded in everyday objects around us and an environment recognizing and responding to the presence of individuals in an invisible way. It builds on three major concepts: ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous communication and intelligent user interfaces.”
Serenity is testing its architecture against specific reference scenarios provided by the major industrial partners. Among these scenario domains is ‘QoS in mobile

Lastly, there is the Open Grid Forum ( OGF), a union of the Global Grid Forum and the EGA. Being a forum, membership is open. It includes an industry interest group for telecommunications. Periodic meetings provide a conference format for exploring standards progress and deployment experiences. “The long-term vision of Grid can be summed up as follows: “Scalable distributed computing across multiple heterogeneous platforms, locations, and organizations. Grid is composed from the following characteristics and goals:
-
Management of Virtualized Infrastructure
-
Resource pooling and sharing
-
Self-monitoring and improvement
-
Dynamic resource provisioning”
