Net-Centric Computing: The Future of Computers and Networking
Arun K. Somani, Shubhalaxmi Kher · 2006
Abstract. Futuristic computers will only be thought of in the context of their ubiquitous connectivity. Net-centric computing isn’t communi-cations or networking per se, although it certainly includes both. With the changes in the computing and networking environment we need a different paradigm for distributed computing. The area of net- centric computing encompasses the embedded systems but is much larger in scope. In the near future, many hardware devices will be interconnected in large and highly dynamic distributed systems, using standard com-
