6G Architecture to Connect the Worlds

The CONNECT Architecture

Current solutions to interoperability remain limited with respect to highly dynamic and heterogeneous environments, where systems encounter one another spontaneously. In this chapter, we introduce the Connect architecture, which puts forward a fundamentally different method to tackle the interoperability problem. The philosophy is to observe networked systems in action, learn their behaviour an...

Exploiting the Small-Worlds of the Semantic Web to Connect Heterogeneous, Local Ontologies

The WWW makes data widely accessible; the semantic Web makes data widely interpretable, ensuring that data can be shared as intended by their creator. However, how can a semantic Web software agent find the right intrepretation (ontology definition)? In this paper, a parallel is drawn between this semantic Web search problem and how people are able to find strangers using a surprisingly short c...

Only Connect: The Functional Architecture of Brain Connectivity

Initial Connect Architecture Project Title : Connect – Emergent Connectors for Eternal Software Intensive Networked Systems

Interoperability remains a fundamental challenge when connecting heterogeneous systems which encounter and spontaneously communicate with one another in pervasive computing environments. This challenge is exasperated by the highly heterogeneous technologies employed by each of the interacting parties, i.e., in terms of hardware, operating system, middleware protocols, and application protocols....

Wired to Connect

As family therapists, we are accustomed to considering the multisystemic contexts of our clients’ lives. Although we have extended our gaze to the macro systems in which families function, we do not generally have the knowledge to grasp the microsystemic level of our clients’ internal experience in terms of brain processes. In the last decade, due in part to advanced neuroimaging techniques suc...
