Semantic Resource Discovery in Internet

Participant : Luigi Liquori.

Results [30] are obtained in close collaboration with professors Matteo Sereno and Rossano Gaeta from the University of Turin. Internet in recent years has become a huge set of channels for content distribution highlighting limits and inefficiencies of the current protocol suite originally designed for host-to-host communication. We propose a Content Name System Service (CNS) that provides a new network aware Content Discovery Service. The CNS behavior and architecture uses the BGP inter-domain routing information. In particular, the service registers and discovers resource names in each Internet Autonomous System (AS): contents are discovered by searching through the augmented AS graph representation classifying ASes into customer, provider, and peering, as the BGP protocol does. An interesting extension of this Internet Service could be to scale up to Internet of Things and to Cyber Physical Systems inter-networked with networks different than Internet.
