Autonomic network configuration for networkable digital appliances
Abstract
This paper proposes an autonomic network configuration (ANC) technology, which uses autonomic technologies for the network configuration in order for electronics consumer appliances to improve usability and security. ANC provides networkable digital appliances (NDAs) with a network environment detection service and enables them to automatically configure themselves as soon as they are connected to networks. The evaluation shows that ANC's network environment detection is so quick, safe, and accurate that it significantly contributes to the NDA's security and privacy. © 2005 IEEE.
