NETWORKING 2009: 8th International IFIP-TC 6 Networking Conference, Aachen, Germany, May 11-15, 2009, Proceedings
“What a difierence a year makes – 52 little weeks” This variation of the first line from Dinah Washington’s famous song, which originally reads, “What a difierence a day makes - 24 little hours,” brings it to the point: According to all experts, the press, and most people’s impression we are today in a serious economic recession. Less than one year ago, we practically lived on the “island of the blessed” (namely, at Networking 2008 that was held on the island of Singapore), or in the famous country where “milk and honey flow” (or “where wine and liquor flow”). This convenient situation has changed abruptly within less than 52 weeks. It looks like the same kind of problems has emerged in all areas – and the “Networking” area has, of course, been affected, too. Looking into the 2009 proceedings, however, you will immediately notice that the manuscripts are largely unaffected by any aspect of the economic c- sis (which should be a bit of a consolation). Apparently, research directions are dictated by a process that is all too sluggish in order to be quickly and radically changed by a “tsunami.” Likewise, the conference itself was prepared in spite of such a crisis.
