Users will expect to be always connected from anywhere and at any time as connections will be switched to available networks using handover techniques. However, different networks have different Qualities-of-Service so a Quality-of-Service Framework is needed to help applications and services deal with this new environment. In addition, since these networks must work together, future mobile systems will have an open, instead of the currently closed, architecture. Therefore new mechanisms will be needed to protect users, servers and network infrastructure. This means that future mobile networks will have to integrate communications, mobility, quality-of service and security. This paper provides an overview of potential architectures for communication in future networks. Our study shows that only a number of these architectures support this integration.

One of the most well-known quotation by McLuhan is from “The Global Village” (1962): “Technology environments are not merely passive containers of people but are active processes that reshape people and other technologies alike” (p. 2).
This quote is particularly relevant today, especially for children and adolescents, for whom the reshaping also involves the representation of what is legal and illegal, as well as their awareness of laws and rules intended to protect individuals from the risks of the virtual world (i.e. child grooming, cyber-bullism, privacy of personal or medical data, etc.), and of those intended to protect intellectual property or economic interests.
Description of Financial Domain Name Projects - New Top-Level Domains for Specialized Financial Name Spaces

Domains for financial instruments require a governance model specific to the type of financial instrument where the key stakeholders in the market are represented. Thanks to being instrument-specific, they can eliminate the risk of confusion through appropriate oversight and controls, prior to a given name ever being activated. CORE has launched an international stakeholder group to foster research in and application of Financial Names Spaces for the new Top Level Domains soon becoming subject in global discussions around extending the gTLDs administered by ICANN.

Abstract:
It is a coincidence that major reforms are now under way in both financial infrastructure and the Internet. Governments are in the process of overhauling the regulatory framework in response to the 2008 economic crisis. The Internet itself is at a crucial stage of development with the introduction of new top level domains and internationalized domain names that facilitate the use of a wide variety of scripts. The interface between the Internet and the global financial system requires urgent attention. Legacy systems, both on the Internet side and on the financial side, are unable to cope with the task of protecting customers while meeting the current requirements of speed and low transaction costs. They are poorly adapted to the international scope and volume of today’s financial transactions. A fundamental reform of the Internet naming system is well under way. Industries such as the financial services sector can link into Internet governance initiatives, increase security and productivity and integrate industry processes with the operation of a global Internet. As is the case in financial industry reforms, the Internet reforms are subject to political lobbying and economic interests. For this reason, it is important that the financial industry takes a proactive attitude to developing its own systems, rather than having them imposed by governments.

Abstract:
CORE has been an active participant in the ICANN, the DNSO and Registrar Constituency processes. CORE supports the launch of new Top Level Domains (TLDs) in a responsible manner and the recognition of TLDs as resources to be managed in the public trust. With this white paper CORE Association is describing the work of experts and stakeholders in the Financial Industry to apply for generic TLDs, such as .bank, .fund or .giro. The initial Project Group is funded by CORE Association and started working in October 2007. The Project Group is part of CORE’s Financial Domains Initiative. Its role is to review requirements and possible solutions with a wide range of stakeholders, paving the way for industry-based working groups tasked with policy definition for various types of financial domain name spaces.
