Abstract

This paper considers potential applications of a toolkit for the creation and management of virtual networks by their users. First, it shows the need for such a toolkit, and introduces the notion of supranet as the result that the application of the toolkit may yield. Then, it briefly examines the characteristics of the groups that may find the adoption of a supranet useful and convenient. Finally, it presents a complete supranet application scenario.
