Description

The role of Internet in designing the society as per the recent need of 21st century and bridging the communication gap is very much appreciable. It plays a gigantic role in augmenting the economy development and growth of the national economy in particular and global economy in general. To enrich and widen the horizon of the knowledge, Internet is helping a lot in empowering the human capital for the sustainable scientific development as well as educational development of any nation. As such the Internet plays a crucial role in the ability of humans to communicate but at the same time opens new challenging problems.
As the internet grows beyond technically expert users, the demand for performance, availability, security, reliability and usability grows beyond its technological limits. The opportunities enabled by new technological advances in devices, place completely new requirements on the evolution of today’s Internet. Future Internet will enable a multitude of new application sectors leading to the development of new markets. Considerable effort has already been devoted to defining options and concepts which could form the basis of future Internet to support a sustainable society. The dimensions of the Internet by and for People, the Internet of Contents, the Internet of Services and the Internet of Things supported by network infrastructure will form the future Internet.
The future Internet should offer all users a secure, efficient, trusted and reliable environment. In turn, this environment, should allow open, dynamic and decentralized access to the network connectivity service and information, as well as being scalable, flexible and adapt its performance to the user needs and context. We firmly believe that an extensive research on future Internet can only be effective if it is followed by a holistic approach where all the components and challenges are addressed in a synchronized way, which needs to address the following high-level main objectives:
Accommodate global information exchange of human knowledge throughout the world.
Accommodate unanticipated user expectations with its continuous empowerment.
To be scalable to provide social, cultural, scientific and technological exchange among different regions, cultures and within single communities.
To be ubiquitously accessible, sustainable and open.
To be secure, accountable and reliable without impeding user privacy, dignity and self arbitration.
To support mobility, have widespread ubiquitous coverage and be capable of assisting society in emergency situations.
To support the innovative business models that are emerging to allow for more entities to be involved in providing any particular instance of a service.
To support means for various performance adaptability features based on context and content.
IJIC takes a coordinated approach towards the future need of Internet research and tries to sort out the technological challenges or shortfalls which are within the domain of this research. To translate these challenges into appropriate opportunities, the continuous and synchronized effort must be undertaken by the research community, which in turn requires a need-based forum of discussion, innovation and symposium.
