Utilizing Semantic Web as Communication Protocol in Faded Information Field (FIF) Architecture for Information Retrieval and Dissemination M. Ahsan Chishti * and Shaima Qureshi * Department of Computer Science & Engineering A. H. Mir Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering Shariq Haseeb Next Generation Networks Iftikhar Ahmad Defense and Systems Institute Abstract Even though plenty of information is available on the Internet, still there is too little useful information there. For the Internet user one of the important parameter of the network is the speed of the retrieval of files. Since internet is rapidly evolving, new information gets added and modified continuously, thus there is the need to sort, organize and retrieve these resources so as to meet the user’s heterogeneous requirements fast and effortlessly. In this paper, a content code is proposed for faded information field (FIF), known as semantic web. This will act as a communication protocol for information transmission and a method of communication among the nodes in the network of FIF. Categories and Subject Descriptors: C. [Computer Systems Organization]: C.2 Computer-Communication Networks - C.2.1 Network Architecture and Design General Terms: faded information field, mobile agents, semantic web, information retrieval, autonomous decentralized system. _____________________________________________________________________________________ IJCIR Reference Format: M.

INTRODUCTION In the past information was limited and the distribution of information was also very much restricted. With regards to that time, much was need for organization of information. But nowadays the information flow is tremendous. The advancement in the field of network technologies has made it impossible to cover the * Author’s Address: M.
