Query: Trends in Computer Network Modeling Towards the Future Internet   This article provides a taxonomy of current and past network modeling
efforts. In all these efforts over the last few years we see a trend towards
not only describing the network, but connected devices as well. This is
especially current given the many Future Internet projects, which are combining
different models, and resources in order to provide complete virtual
infrastructures to users.
  An important mechanism for managing complexity is the creation of an abstract
model, a step which has been undertaken in computer networks too. The fact that
more and more devices are network capable, coupled with increasing popularity
of the Internet, has made computer networks an important focus area for
modeling. The large number of connected devices creates an increasing
complexity which must be harnessed to keep the networks functioning.
  Over the years many different models for computer networks have been
proposed, and used for different purposes. While for some time the community
has moved away from the need of full topology exchange, this requirement
resurfaced for optical networks. Subsequently, research on topology
descriptions has seen a rise in the last few years. Many different models have
been created and published, yet there is no publication that shows an overview
of the different approaches.
