Horizon
A New Horizon to The Internet 
The project's proposals are focused on:
A new automatic piloting system which includes intelligent mechanisms ready to learn the context and adapt protocols to the current situation.
The key idea is:
To introduce a new intelligent architecture adapted to virtual networks. This new intelligent architecture should be easily implemented, scalable, secure, robust and should also provide quality of service guarantee on demand. Choosing the virtual network to be used depends on the context and on the service to be offered. In order to reach this project's goal, a piloting plan which allows the network elements to define their situated view is going to be used. The situated view is used to decide which resources are going to be used by different virtual networks. With the purpose to build the piloting plan, a multiagent system is going to be applied. Besides, a learning process is added so that the system becomes able to real-time pilot the network.
