Traffic Management and Traffic Engineering for the Future Internet

Designing the future internet requires an in-depth consideration of the mana- ment,dimensioningandtra?ccontrolissuesthatwillbe involvedinthe network operations of these networks. The International Workshop on Tra?c Mana- ment and Tra?c Engineering of the Future Internet, FITraMEn2008, organized 1 within the framework of the Network of Excellence Euro-NF,providedanopen forum to present and discuss new ideas in this area in the context of ?xed, wireless and spontaneous (ad hoc and sensor) networks. TheNetworkofExcellenceEuro-NF“AnticipatingtheNetworkoftheFuture - From Theory to Design” is a European project funded by the European Union withintheSeventhFrameworkProgram.ThefocusofEuro-NFistodevelopnew principles and methods to design/dimension/control/manage multi-technology architectures. The emerging networking paradigms raise new challenging sci- ti?c and technological problems embedded in complex policy, governance, and worldwide standards issues. Dealing with the diversity of these scienti?c and social, political and economic challenges requires the integration of a wide range of research capabilities, a role that Euro-NF aims to ful?ll. This proceedings volume contains a selection of the research contributions presented at FITraMEn 2008. The workshop was held December 11–12, 2008 in 2 Porto, Portugal, organized by Instituto de Telecomunica¸ c˜ oes .
