Towards an Information Management Overlay for the Future Internet

There has recently been an increasing research interest in network management infrastructures that autonomously adapt to the dynamics of the environment. In this paper, we present an information management platform, called the Information Management Overlay (IMO), which is an infrastructure that regulates information flow based on the properties and the state of the network environment. We discuss the design, implementation and optimization issues of this platform and we investigate experimentally how the IMO can adapt to different settings and optimization requirements.
