around much longer than the Internet or even mass communication. People have always been social creatures; our ability to work together in groups, creating value that is greater than the sum of its parts, is one of our greatest assets. At its bare essentials, a social network INDUSTRY TRENDS edge services, intelligent-agent services, file sharing, and distributed computing. For example, collaborators in a project can communicate and conduct work together via P2P technology. P2P also provides edge services by using clients to, in

MultiMAC-an adaptive MAC framework for dynamic radio networking
