This session includes a set of forward-looking papers that discuss innovative ways to adapt networks and share information in dynamic settings. Hayes-Roth’s invited paper frames the issues of information integration and delivery affecting GIG/NCES concepts. This session provides both conceptual and applied responses to these issues. Topics within the conceptual papers include policy based management, a service programming language, and an application of the semantic web; topics within the application papers include QoS provisioning and management of wireless networks as well as advanced simulation of UAV networks.
