Research projects range from active cookies to faster wireless to fighting phishing and spam.
We kicked off an effort at the start of this year to look more closely at network research happening at university and other labs, figuring that while the technologies being worked on won’t necessarily find their way into your network immediately, they might give you something to consider in making longer-term plans.
We’ve covered these stories in the physical and virtual pages of Network World, including on our Alpha Doggs network research blog. Here our pick of the 10 most interesting projects, in no particular order, that we’ve come across as mid-year approaches:
‘Active cookies’ to the rescue
Sharing Wi-Fi with your neighbors
Futuristic optical system tackles image processing
Using opportunistic coding to boost wireless
Saving VoIP from spam
Fighting spam zombies from outer space
Human beings that live in computers
Spintronics key to small, powerful net devices?
DWT claims to search where Google misses
Researching beyond the constraints of today’s Internet
