Next generation communication networks will be characterized by the coexistence of multiple technologies and user devices in an integrated fashion. The increasing number of devices owned by a single user will lead to a new communication paradigm: users owning multiple devices that form cooperative networks, and networks of different users that communicate with each other, e.acquiring Internet access through each other. In this communication scenario no user intervention should be required and technology should seamlessly adapt to the user’s context, preferences, and needs.
The following article "Dynamic and Automatic Interworking between Personal Area Networks using Composition" illustrates the concept of composition of networks.
