Towards Halos Networks ubiquitous networking and computing at the edge

This paper presents Halos Networks as an architectural paradigm for developing ubiquitous networking and computing services at the edge of the networks A Halos Network is like a wireless network spontaneously emerging through the interactions of distributed resources embedding wireless communication capabilities. Halos Networks are capable of delivering services and data virally through multiple devices, machines and objects interconnected with one other. This paper discusses business roles for Stakeholders in Halos Networks scenarios, specifically concluding with some remarks about the Operators' role.
