Intelligence in Communication Systems: IFIP International Conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems, INTELLCOMM 2005, Montreal, Canada, October : 9780387291215

Communication systems are now ubiquitous and making them more intelligent remains very challenging.  The IFIP International Conference on Intelligence in Communication Systems is an effort to bring together researchers and practitioners who represent the latest developments in this area.  This volume contains selected papers from the conference in the following focus areas: ad hoc networks / hybrid networks / WLAN; security, privacy and consumer protection; adaptive architectures and protocols; flexible QoS and QoS management; flexible service specification, validation, searching and querying; service composition and Web services; personal, terminal and node mobility; programmable and active networks.

Any of the research areas mentioned above include a plethora of topics. Ad hoc networks, programmable and active networks, adaptive protocols are among the topics which make the adaptable networks research area. Semantic Web is also very rich as research area. It includes knowledge representation languages, tools and methodologies; ontologies; semantic brokering; large scale knowledge management; and semantic interoperability.
