Abstract
This paper summarizes the evolution logic, technical connotation, presupposition, applicable scope, and existing problems of information networks from the perspective of the development paradigm. This work aims to meet the requirements of symbiosis and coexistence, evolution and revolution, and integration of the function safety and network security of diversified networks and applications. Accordingly, we demonstrate the scientific necessity of the revolution of the information network development paradigm and propose the polymorphic network (PINet) paradigm that separates technical systems and the supporting environment. On this basis, we clarify the core idea, system form, and operation logic of the PINet paradigm and analyze the key technologies of the PINet paradigm in detail. Finally, we propose an engineering implementation scheme of the PINet paradigm, which explores possible methods and approaches to high-quality information networks at the development paradigm level.
