COAST (Content Aware Searching, retrieval and sTreaming)

COAST (ICT-248036) project aims to design, a Future Content Network (FCN), based on the content-oriented paradigm. In conjunction to the client-server paradigm, the content-oriented paradigm focuses not only on the communication party, but also on the delivered data themselves. COAST is expected to deliver a FCN overlay architecture, where the users will just specify which data they need, and the COAST framework will find the desired data and forward it to the users efficiently, achieving network-wide SLAs in content consumption.
