Abstract:
The exponential growth on the number of mobile devices and their capabilities are leveraging new possibilities
of networking architectures for processing, storing, and exchanging of information. At a glance, existing architectures
take advantage of these devices, the social behavior of their users, and/or the dynamicity on resource
usage. Despite of the potential of existing initiatives, they do not interoperate which reduce their applications
and deployment. As we walk towards a very dynamic world (regarding the user needs and characteristics, the
information traversing the network, and the networking capability to adaptation at both users features and content
of the demands levels), these architectures should merge into a solution that fits any type of scenario. In
this paper, we specify an opportunistic, socially-driven, self-organizing, cloud networking architecture using a
future Internet proposal named NovaGenesis. We highlight the requirements and solutions that NovaGe
nesis
brings to accommodate the inherent challenges of today’s dynamic networking scenario. Thus, we describe
a convergent architecture, which integrates the new requirements with the already implemented NovaGenesis
features.
