In an increasingly networked world in which information is becoming
increasingly actual, how can a system know with certainty just how
fresh the information on a remote system is? Much work has been
done on delay or latency in systems, but only recently has the
concept of the freshness of information in or about a system become
quantifiable. This is termed the Age of Information. Age of
Information provides a whole new set of metrics and tools that can
be used to characterize the freshness of information in
communications, control and, indeed, information systems. In its
early development, this monograph provides the reader with an
easy-to-read tutorial-like introduction into this novel approach of
dealing with information within systems. A critical summary of the
work to date details the concept for the reader. A description of
the fundamentals of the performance metrics is then presented
before showing how the approach can be used as a tool in improving
metrics in other contexts. The survey and tutorial nature of this
monograph will save any researcher or student considerable time in
understanding the basics of Age of Information, which is destined
to become an important research topic in networked systems.
