The challenging characteristics of the vehicular environment such as high mobility, diversity of applications, dynamic topologies, unreliable broadcast channels, and short-lived connectivity call into the need to extend the IP-based network to fulfill the user and VANETs requirements. Researchers are developing new network communication models to transfer the future internet. The information-centric networking (ICN) paradigm is a promising solution that may overcome the issues mentioned above. ICN involves a named content, name-based routing, in-network caching, and content-based security, which make it a suitable architecture for VANET applications. In this chapter, the authors present recent advances in VANET solutions that rely on named-data networking (NDN), which is the most active ICN implementation. The issues of the current host-centric model, mapping between NDN and VANET, is also discussed along with future research directions.

Future Internet is based on the concepts of autonomicity and cognition, where each network element is able to monitor its surrounding environment, evaluate the situation, and decide the action that should be applied. In such context, the traditional service provisioning approaches necessitate a paradigm shift so as to incorporate the Cognitive Cycle. Towards this end, in this chapter, we introduce a Cognitive Service Provision framework suitable for Future Internet Networks. The proposed approach supports cognition by modeling a service as an aggregation of software components bundled together through a graph. Consequently, each service is composed by various components and is tailored to the operational context of the requestor. In order to prove the viability and applicability of the proposed approach we also introduce the enhancement of the IP Multimedia Subsystem through our Cognitive Service Provision framework. Finally, based on our work, we discuss future research directions and the link between service and network management.

Smart, secure and energy-efficient data collection (DC) processes are key to the realization of the full potentials of future Internet of Things (FIoT)-based systems. Currently, challenges in this domain have motivated research efforts towards providing cognitive solutions for IoT usage. One such solution, termed cognitive sensing (CS) describes the use of smart sensors to intelligently perceive inputs from the environment. Further, CS has been proposed for use in FIoT in order to facilitate smart, secure and energy-efficient data collection processes. In this article, we provide a survey of different Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based techniques used over the last decade to provide cognitive sensing solutions for different FIoT applications. We present some state-of-the-art approaches, potentials, and challenges of AI techniques for the identified solutions. This survey contributes to a better understanding of AI techniques deployed for cognitive sensing in FIoT as well as future research directions in this regard.
