““The guises of active networking -The guises of active networking -strategy or destiny?”strategy or destiny?”
ObservationsObservations AN has failed to become a landmark in AN has failed to become a landmark in
networking research and curriculanetworking research and curricula But many AN concepts survive in other areas But many AN concepts survive in other areas
(“guises” of AN), e.g. sensor network retasking, (“guises” of AN), e.g. sensor network retasking, adaptive middleware reconfiguration, adaptive middleware reconfiguration, autonomic communicationautonomic communication
Is it AN’s destiny to never make it to Is it AN’s destiny to never make it to textbooks?textbooks?
Or is it just a strategy to gather more Or is it just a strategy to gather more momentum and overcome aversion?momentum and overcome aversion?

independent research area?
