iNetS Research Thrust Areas

Embedded intelligence added to a given level of a complete networked system has the potential to impact other levels of the system. The iNetS research thrust areas are designed to establish a framework within which the complete networked system can be envisioned as specific research topics are explored. This framework extends from a high-level view of the overall network of networks down through individual networks of the system to the end-user. The framework consists of six thrust areas designed to provide this integrated picture of the entire networked system, as illustrated below. Clicking on any of the six thrust areas will provide additional detail regarding that thrust area.
