Abstract

In this presentation, we will present some of the networking-related activities carried out within the framework of the EC-funded BIONETS project. In particular, we will present the "Disappearing Networking" concept developed by the project consortium. This concept builds on two pillars. First, the "physical" disappearance of the network as a separate entity, exploiting opportunistic communications to support viral propagation of information and data. Second, the disappearance of network protocols as static entities, replaced by a dynamic service-oriented architecture.
