| Today it's important for ships at sea to be able to communicate and exchange information with a shore network, like file transferring, database access, e-mail, web/intranet browsing, or video conferencing. Navy ships might even want to send a live video feed from the field. To accomplish this, most ships use satellite communications, an expensive and slow method. When a ship is near shore, it can use alternative methods of communicating ... |

| Future military systems such a FCS require a robust and flexible network that supports thousands of ad hoc nodes; therefore, we must ensure the scalability of networking protocols (e.g., routing, security and (QoS). The use of hierarchy is a powerful solution to the scaling problem, since it allows networking protocols to operate on a limited number of nodes, as opposed to the entire network. We have proposed an automated solution ... |

| Distribution and replication of network-accessible applications has been shown to be an effective approach for delivering improved Quality of Service (QoS) to end users. An orthogonal trend seen in current-day network services is the use of component-based frameworks. Even though such component-based applications are natural candidates for distributed deployment, it is unclear if the design patterns underlying component frameworks also enable efficient service distribution in wide-area environments.
