"An effort to make apps that can run on any web-ready gadget, from phones to TVs, has been given a cash kickstart by the EU.
A European project to develop an application environment for every internet-connected device has received 10m euros in funding.
The project aims to sidestep operating systems and proprietary app stores by providing a web-based approach."
They describe how they discovered a latent hyperbolic, or negatively curved, space hidden beneath the Internet's topology, leading them to devise a method to create an Internet map using hyperbolic geometry.
In their paper, the researchers say such a map would lead to a more robust Internet routing architecture because it simplifies path-finding throughout the network. "
