This paper presents the basics about network architecture and some of the current proposals for the future of the internet. There are two keys factors to understand the ongoing discussions: the definition of what is a Network usually depends of the industry you are coming from, while all of these kinds of networks are needed. The second key deals with two different kinds of values: the value of scarcity and the value of abundance: efficiency versus adaptability. This leads to new technology such as Cognitive Radio.

Crowdsourcing is a new technology and a new business model that will change the way in which we work in many fields in the future. Employers divide and source out their work to a huge number of anonymous workers on the Internet. The division and outsourcing is not a trivial process but requires the definition of complete new workflows – from the definition of subtasks, to the execution and quality control. A popular crowdsourcing project in the field of collection of geodata is OpenStreetMap, which is based on the work of unpaid volunteers. Crowdsourcing projects that are based on the work of unpaid volunteers need an active community, whose members are convinced about the importance of the project and who have fun to collaborate. This can only be realized for some tasks. In the field of geodata collection many other tasks exist, which can in principle be solved with crowdsourcing, but where it is difficult to find a sufficient large number of volunteers. Other incentives must be provided in these cases, which can be monetary payments.

SDN has entered into all aspects of network architecture, its advantage is that it can dynamically allocate bandwidth to different resources in the Internet business. SDN separate internet the control plane from the data plane, this shows the evolution of the virtualization from the server to the network. This paper introduces the definition of SDN and ONF OpenFlow SDN typical architecture, studied the application of SDN technology, put forward the future challenge.

Cognitive radio has been proposed to have spectrum agility (or opportunistic spectrum access). In this chapter, the authors introduce the extended network architecture of cognitive radio network, which accesses not only spectrum resource but also wireless stations (networking nodes) and high-level application data opportunistically: the large-scale cognitive wireless networks. The developed network architecture is based upon a re-definition of wireless linkage: as functional abstraction of proximity communications among wireless stations. The operation spectrum and participating stations of such abstract wireless links are opportunistically decided based on their instantaneous availability. It is able to maximize wireless network resource utilization and achieve much higher performance in large-scale wireless networks, where the networking environment can change fast (usually in millisecond level) in terms of spectrum and wireless station availability. The authors further introduce opportunistic routing and opportunistic data aggregation under the developed network architecture, which results in an implementation of cognitive unicast and cognitive data-aggregation wireless-link modules. In both works, it is shown that network performance and energy efficiency can improve with network scale (such as including station density). The applications of large-scale cognitive wireless networks are further discussed in new (and smart) beyond-3G wireless infrastructures, including for example real-time wireless sensor networks, indoor/underground wireless tracking networks, broadband wireless networks, smart grid and utility networks, smart vehicular networks, and emergency networks. In all such applications, the cognitive wireless networks can provide the most cost-effective wireless bandwidth and the best energy efficiency.

Blockchain is a new technology, often referred to as the Internet of Value. As with all new technologies, there is no consensus on its potential value, with some people claiming that it will bring more disruptive changes than the Internet and others contesting the extent of its importance. Despite predictions that the future is perilous, there is evidence that blockchain is a remarkable, new technology that will change the way transactions are made, based on its ability to guarantee trust among unknown actors, assure the immutability of records, while also making intermediaries obsolete. The importance of blockchain can be confirmed by the interest in digital currencies, the great number of published blockchain papers, as well as MDPI’s journal Future Internet which exclusively publishes blockchain articles, including this special issue covering present and future blockchain challenges. This paper is a survey of the fast growing field of blockchain, discussing its advantages and possible drawbacks and their implications for the future of the Internet and our personal lives and societies in general. The paper consists of the following parts; the first provides a general introduction and discusses the disruptive changes initiated by blockchain, the second discusses the unique value of blockchain and its general characteristics, the third presents an overview of industries with the greatest potential for disruptive changes, the forth describes the four major blockchain applications with the highest prospective advantages, and the fifth part of the paper ends with a discussion on the most notable subset of innovative blockchain applications—Smart Contracts, DAOs (Decentralized Autonomous Organizations) and super safe networks—and their future implications. There is also a concluding section, which summarizes the paper, describes the future of blockchain, and mentions the challenges to be overcome.

The original internet design principle was guided by the end-to-end principle in the early 1980s and formed the foundation for the existing internet architectural model. The priorities of the original internet designers do not match the needs of today actual users; rise in new players, demanding applications, erosion of trust and rights and responsibilities is pushing the internet to a new dimension. This paper presents the goals and principles behind the design of the original internet architecture, the resulting issues and limitations of the existing network architecture and the approaches that is driving the future internet architecture.

The Internet is a new medium of communication connecting potential partners in trade worldwide. The initial frenzy over its promises led to grossly exaggerated valuations of business models that were mere transplantations of existing processes to the alternative channel. Now that the bubble has burst, more sensible and critical thoughts can be turned to true transformations that are creating and nurturing markets of the future. Online auction is one of the very few cases that has held a steady course, as evidenced in the success to date of eBay.com. Founded in September 1995, eBay has become a global trading platform with presence in 39 markets where on any given day, there are more than 113 million listings across 50,000 plus categories. In 2009, at least 86 million people will buy and sell well over $2000 worth of goods every second (www. ebay.com). To survey the state of development of online auctions apart from eBay, on a pragmatic rather than theoretical basis, we examine variations in auction mechanisms, and give examples of implementation online at this writing. The commonly used terminology and definition of auction models can be found in e.g. McAfee and McMillan (1987). For conciseness and consistency, the www prefix and .com suffix are omitted from the URL of corresponding companies, and all lowercase is used throughout.

Kemajuan teknologi yang sangat cepat, pesat dan tidak akan pernah ada habisnya melahirkan berbagai macam kelebihan serta kekurangannya dari teknologi-teknologi canggih itu sendiri. Dewasa ini kita tidak bisa mengelak dari kemajuan teknologi karena memang pada dasarnya semua teknologi yang terlahir diperuntukkan agar memudahkan kita sebagai pengguna. Namun, lahirnya teknologi baru juga mengundang dampak bagi penggunanya. Salah satunya yaitu penulis akan memfokuskan kepada bagaimana masa depan dari readership buku. Hal ini memancing penulis untuk menulis dan mengulasnya karena, saat ini pembaca buku mulai beralih kepada bentuk media elektronik yang terkoneksi dengan internet, sehingga dalam penggunaan media baru ini akan sangat memudahkan penggunanya dalam membaca. Pada tulisan ini, penulis akan memfokuskan bagaimana prediksi serta pro dan kontra terhadap tingkat jumlah pembaca (readership) khususnya buku. Tidak menutup kemungkinan memang generasi sekarang dan yang akan datang, akan mengubah cara membaca mereka dari buku manual menjadi buku yang telah tedigitalisasikan. Adapun dalam tulisan ini, penulis akan mencoba memberikan pandangan – pandangan kedepan dari buku yang mana nasip nya juga sangat dipengaruhi dari berapa jumlah pembaca dari buku yang secara manual, dengan melihat beberapa kasus yang telah terjadi pada media cetak lainnya, seperi koran/ newspaper.ABSTRACT Technological advances that are very fast, rapidly and will never endlessly bear a variety of advantages and disadvantages of the advanced technologies themselves. Today we cannot escape from the advancement of technology because it is basically all the technology that is born destined to facilitate us as users. However, the birth of new technology also invites impact for its users. One of them is the author will focus on how the future of the book readership. This provokes the author to write and review it because, now the book readers are turning to the form of electronic media connected to the internet, so in the use of this new media will greatly facilitate users in reading. In this paper, the author will focus how the predictions and pros and cons on the level of the number of readers (readership), especially books. It is possible that present and future generations will change the way they read from manuals into books that have been digitized. As in this paper, the author will try to give forward views of the book which his destiny is also greatly influenced by how many readers of the book manually, by looking at some cases that have occurred in other print media, like newspapers / newspaper.

An ontological analysis of the application of the key concept of synergy to the internet of things (IoT) is presented. The authors begin by defining synergy as it applies to all types of human-made objects, and in particular to connected things, along the way developing a new theory of synergetic accommodation that provides a detailed aetiology of smart technology. A presentation of the history, routes, plus a complete definition of smart technology is given before looking at how the IoT is developing today and might progress in the future for the benefit of all humankind. Accordingly, the authors develop two new concepts, situated and distributed intelligence, that may be used to develop practically useful smart technology that fully meets the needs of the future in terms of providing efficient, magnified, reliable, safe, automated, and economical services.
