> *Call for Position Papers on Internet Design Principles*
>
> Design principles play a central role in the architecture of the Internet
as
> driving most engineering decisions at conception level but also
operational
> level. Often cited as the corner stone of the Internet design compared to
> architectures that rely exclusively on design model (derived directly from
> requirements), they are for most of them not formally defined by means of
a
> closed mathematical formulation.
>
>
>
> Design principles suggest normative rules on how a designer/an architect
can
> best structure the various architectural components and describe the
> fundamental and time invariant laws underlying the working of an
engineered
> artifact. Note that the canonical definition of architecture (as specified
> in
>
http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/activities/foi/docs/current_internet_limitations_v9.pdf
)
> includes the principles and guidelines governing their design and
evolution
> over time.
>
>
>
> For what concerns the Internet (as engineered artifact), its architecture
is
> governed by the following design principles (this list is not exhaustive
and
> represents the common baseline in terms of principles currently applied to
> the Internet architecture and its operation):
>
> ·      Modularization by relaxed layering
>
> ·      Connectionless datagram forwarding
>
> ·      Network of collaborating networks (Interconnection via gateways)
>
> ·      End‐to‐end principle/fate sharing principle combined with
>
> ·      intelligent end systems (user stateless network)
>
> ·      Simplicity principle
>
> ·      Loose coupling principle
>
> ·      Locality principle (local cause(s) shall result in local effects)
>
> The present call for contributions aims to address the issue of design
> principle applicability by identifying the necessary addition/possible
> improvement to the current principles. It is to be emphasized that a large
> part of the underlying research activity consists of identifying hidden
> relationships and effects between them.
>
>
>
> For this purpose, clear understanding about what individual projects
> actually do and how they position against these design principles is to be
> better identified. Position statements from various projects and research
> activities are expected to provide better insight on associated
> architectural challenges. For this purpose contributions shall be centered
>
> on the following questions:
>
>  *Which design principles your project is currently addressing /*
>
> *relying on?*
>
>  *Which design principles does your project challenge and for which*
>
> *reasons?*
>
>  *Which design objectives can't be achieved by application of current*
>
> *design principles?*
>
>  *Do you plan investigation on new principles or modification of*
>
> *existing principles ?*
>
>  *Which design principles (or adaptation of existing principles) would*
>
> *be required to address your design objectives ?*
