Proceedings of the Seventh International Network Conference (INC 2008)

This book contains the proceedings of the Seventh International Network Conference (INC 2008), which was held in Plymouth, UK, in July 2008. A total of 22 papers were accepted for inclusion in the conference, and they are presented here in four themed chapters. The main topics of the book include: Network Technologies; Security and Privacy; Mobile and Wireless Networking; Applications and Impacts. The papers address state-of-the-art research and applications of network technology, arising from both the academic and industrial domains. These proceedings should consequently be of interest to network practitioners, researchers, academics, and technical managers involved in the design, development and use of network systems.
