Convergence proposes the enhancement of the Internet with a novel,
content-centric, publish-subscribe service model based on the
versatile digital item (VDI): a common container for all kinds of
digital content, including digital representations of real-world
resources. VDIs will serve the needs of the future Internet,
providing a homogeneous method for handling structured information,
incorporating security and privacy mechanisms. CONVERGENCE subsumes
the following areas of research: * definition of the VDI as a new
fundamental unit of distribution and transaction; * content-centric
networking functionality to complement or replace IP-address-based
routing; * security and privacy protection mechanisms; *
open-source middleware, including a community dictionary service to
enable rich semantic searches; * applications, tested under
real-life conditions. This book shows how CONVERGENCE allows
publishing, searching and subscribing to any content. Creators can
publish their content by wrapping it and its descriptions into a
VDI, setting rights for other users to access this content, monitor
its use, and communicate with people using it; they may even update
or revoke content previously published. Access to content is more
efficient, as search engines exploit VDI metadata for indexing, and
the network uses the content name to ensure users always access the
copy closest to them. Every node in the network is a content cache;
handover is easy; multicast is natural; peer-to-peer is built-in;
time/space-decoupling is possible. Application developers can
exploit CONVERGENCE's middleware and network without having to
resort to proprietary/ad hoc solutions for common/supporting
functionality. Operators can use the network more efficiently,
better controlling information transfer and related revenues flows.
Network design, operation and management are simplified by
integrating diverse functions and avoiding patches and stopgap
solutions. Whether as a text for graduate students working on the
future of the Internet, or a resource for practitioners providing
e-commerce or multimedia services, or scientists defining new
technologies, CONVERGENCE will make a valuable contribution to the
future shape of the Internet.
