“…Research problems related to IoT, specifically to the intelligent use of IoT resources, will be crucial due to the expected large number of IoT devices in the verticals. Additional open problems in communications can be found from [198], [199]. Open problems in localization are discussed in [200].…”

We propose a vision for directing research and education in the field of information and communications technology (ICT). Our Smart and Sustainable World vision targets prosperity for the people and the planet through better awareness and control of both human-made and natural environments. The needs of society, individuals, and industries are fulfilled with intelligent systems that sense their environment, make proactive decisions on actions advancing their goals, and perform the actions on the environment. We emphasize artificial intelligence, feedback loops, human acceptance and control, intelligent use of basic resources, performance parameters, mission-oriented interdisciplinary research, and a holistic systems view complementing the conventional analytical reductive view as a research paradigm, especially for complex problems. To serve a broad audience, we explain these concepts and list the essential literature. We suggest planning research and education by specifying, in a step-wise manner, scenarios, performance criteria, system models, research problems, and education content, resulting in common goals and a coherent project portfolio as well as education curricula. Research and education produce feedback to support evolutionary development and encourage creativity in research. Finally, we propose concrete actions for realizing this approach.

“…Unicast has been the fundamental abstraction and communication primitive within addressing and routing design. Whether unicast or multicast (discussed next) should be the basic primitive is an interesting question given that physical communication media are inherently multicast [127]. • Multicast: is important for efficient communication among a group of objects.…”

“…In [20], "incredible" simulation results in mobile ad hoc network have been listed. The need for an international standard "controlled" simulator is still an open issue in the field of wireless networks [21]. Some experimental testbeds [22] have been deployed, but this is mainly for wireless mesh networks that assume an access point is available among the mobile end-point devices which is considered as infrastructure mode.…”

File and data distribution can be easily classified as one of the basic uses of networks. With uses ranging from Short Message Service (SMS) to program updates, from micro-blogging to social networking, every network today must support some type of file and data dissemination method. Infrastructure networks have already implemented these services using well known communication protocols. Ad hoc networks pose a greater challenge due to their sporadic network set-up. At a given time we do not know who is connected to the network, and whether the intended recipient of the data can be reached. In this paper we introduce Serval MeshMS, a protocol for ad hoc file and data distribution, enabling the diffusing of data through an ad hoc mesh network. It is based on a single-hop, store and disseminate opportunistic architecture, and has been shown to work over great distances. Preliminary implementations are encouraging, with surprising results achieved.

Forty data communications research questions

Abstract: About ten years ago, Bob Lucky asked me for a list of open research questions in networking. I didn't have a ready list and reacted it would be good to have one. This essay is my (long- belated) reply.
