8 Abstract
This thesis is organized as follows.

Chapter 1 introduces the overall frame of the thesis: field of research, motivation, author’s
contributions and structure.

Chapter 2 presents an introduction and classification of the particular areas involved in this
dissertation. Section 2.4 reviews the present research areas in wireless mobile communications
with the objective to identify the application domain frame for this thesis work.

Chapter 3 is devoted to Active Networks (AN). We build this thesis work on this fundament. The
review begins with introducing the reasons for the emergence of active software architectures
followed by the challenges in modern communications to which they are exposed. Then, section
13.2 describes the conceptual paradigm of Active Networking, the underlying Reference Model ,
and a summary of the research approaches and the current implementation framework. Section
3.3 is dedicated to the active network architectures with the goal to identify the patterns and
trends in AN research in order to derive a genealogy of the upcoming idea of the Wandering
Network. The expose includes a short review of the enabling technologies for active networking
highlighting their key advantages. Section 3.4 reviews the domains of AN research with a focus
on a variety of applications. Section 3.5 identifies the mainstream directions in AN research. A
special attention is dedicated to the application of active networks in mobile communications.
Finally, section 3.6 provides an overall analysis and discussion of the active network approach
including a comparison of the network programming approaches. An outlook for further research
and a summary with conclusions are given in sections 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 respectively.

Chapter 4 is devoted to the "hardware" branch of the Wandering Network hypothesis. Here we
presents in detail some specific issues in Reconfigurable Computing as related to micro (chip)
and macro (computer) component architectures used in present day networks. In section 4.2
special attention is devoted to the implications of active networking and reconfiguration in
defining today's network infrastructures. Here we address some open questions from the
previous three chapters: mixing active and passive flows, flexibility vs. security and configuring
vs. encapsulation.

Chapter 5 presents the kernel of this thesis’ research, the Wandering Logic Intelligence (WLI).
The exposé describes the general requirements and the future directions in active networking
and related disciplines in order to define the architectural base of the WLI approach. The
argumentation and the definition of the WLI architecture is given in section 5.2, followed by the
four principles of the Wandering Network – Dualistic Congruence, Multidimensional Feedback,
Self-Reference, and Pulsating Metamorphosis –, in section 5.3.



1 which is referred in this work’s genealogy as the First Generation (1994-1999).
9 Chapter 6 demonstrates the suitability of the WLI approach in a case study with the formal
+specification and test of an algorithm for active mobile ad-hoc routing in TLA , the Temporal
Logic of Actions technique.

Finally, chapter 7 provides an overall evaluation of the thesis objectives, answers some final
questions and concludes this work with directions for further research.
