Building the Future Internet through FIRE [PDF ebook] 
2016 FIRE Book — a Research and Experimentation based Approach

The Internet as we know it today is the result of continuous activity for improving network communications, end user services, computational processes, and information technology infrastructures. The Internet has become a critical infrastructure for the human being by offering complex networking services and end-user applications that together have transformed all aspects, mainly economical, of our lives. Recently, with the advent of new paradigms and the progress in wireless technology, sensor networks, and information systems, and the inexorable shift towards the everything-connected paradigm- first known as the Internet of Things and lately envisioning into the Internet of Everything- a data-driven society has been created. In a data-driven society, productivity, knowledge, and experience are dependent on increasingly open, dynamic, interdependent, and complex Internet services. The challenge for the Internet of the Future design is to build robust enabling technologies, implement and deploy adaptive systems, and to create business opportunities which consider increasing uncertainties and emergent systemic behaviors where humans and machines seamlessly cooperate.
