Purpose of this workshop
The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has
spawned many interesting applications that were
unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many
challenges for the communication and networking
community to address. On one hand we see present
day mobile devices are capable of providing many
services that required several devices before.
For example, most cell phones nowadays provide
high speed data access, still and video cameras,
PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device
sophistication and service offerings, including
wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the
way we communicate. With increased user mobility
and user's desire to always be connected, we have
seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks
(PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These
networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully
for individual users and their requirements. On
the other hand the Internet has changed our way
of interacting dramatically. These two major
communication areas are having an in-depth
influence on the way we communicate; it is worth
considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle.
Personalized Networks is one such future oriented
concept where we seek to bring BANs, PANs, WLAN,
sensor networks, ad hoc networks, home networks,
vehicular networks and the Internet together onto
one platform under one broader vision of future
(4G) communication networks. The idea is to
enable continuous and seamless connectivity of
all the personal devices of a user, information
sources, and network enabled controllers in an
unobtrusive way, regardless of where these
entities are located - be they local or remote.
It is a microcosm of the persons themselves with
their associated accessories somewhere on the
Internet. It is equivalent to the Internet
presence that has become a prominent concept in
the last decade. This advanced overlay network is
strongly person oriented and must be ad hoc,
intelligent and must behave as a user-friendly
virtual intelligent personal assistant to its
owner. It is a personal distributed environment,
global in scope that can co-exist on the present
day Internet with its active participation. Such
a platform enables many new applications,
especially for users with rapidly changing
communication demands that often operate in
various contexts simultaneously. It can also
provide the much needed user-friendliness to many services of today.
There are numerous issues which are challenging
to the communication network community in
realizing a Personalized Network. Most of them
arise from the lack of current technology to deal
in a transparent way with the dynamic and mobile
nature of the entities, the unpredictable
topology of the network, the power constraints of
the mobile devices, and the heterogeneity of the
networking and link-level technologies.
Therefore, creating a Personalized Network yields
new architectures, protocols, algorithms,
platforms, middleware, etc. They take care of
addressing, routing, resource and service
discovery, the self-organization of the network,
the localization of the devices/person, the
complex security and privacy requirements, the
offering of context aware services and service
management. Many of these issues, ventured upon
earlier under various mobile ad hoc networks
(MANET) and mobile network research initiatives,
need to be reconsidered in this case. These
technologies have to meet strict requirements
with respect to user perception, viable business
models, usage of communication bandwidth,
protocol complexity, robustness, availability of
links and infrastructure, dependability and trust.
Scope of the submission
We seek original contributions which are aimed at
finding solutions to the problems that are
outlined above towards realization of a
Personalized Network. We have identified the
following major topics under which we try to
categorize the submissions. However, we will
consider any other original, interesting, and
imaginative ideas and thoughts towards meeting
this goal of a Personalized Network.
* Architectural framework of personalized networks
* Personalized Network Applications
* Personal Communications in the next generation Internet
* Personal Networks for rural areas
* Context Awareness
* Resource, service and context discovery
* Self-organization and adaptation
* Addressing and routing
* Interworking between PANs, ad hoc networks,
etc, and infrastructure-based heterogeneous networks
* Mobility of personalized networks
* Security, privacy and anonymity
* Zero configuration methods and other enablers for ease-of-use
* Dependability
* Application-driven communication substrates
* Personalized networks for group oriented networking
* New QoS concepts in personalized networks
* QoS across heterogeneous Networks and Devices
* Mapping of functional requirements to physical devices and resources
* Modeling and simulation of personalized networks
* P2P paradigm in personalized networks
* Innovative applications or prototypes and
demonstrations of such person centric applications are equally valued
Why should you participate in this workshop?
Personalized Networks is a concrete vision of the
future networks, yet very current, in the field
of communications. It attracts researchers from
both wired and wireless domains. This workshop is
an ideal platform to share a vision of where we
are heading, interact, and strongly advocate an
exciting new avenue for researchers and
practitioners in the field of communication.
Further, the final program would consist of
carefully selected - with at least three peer
reviews - and high quality submissions with a
large emphasis on new ideas rather than
incremental contributions to the field.
Submissions of shorter versions of full papers
that can be submitted to other
conferences/journal in the near future are discouraged.
Submission Instructions
Submitted papers must represent original material
that is not currently under review in any other
conference or journal, and has not been
previously published. Paper length should not
exceed five-page technical paper manuscript.
Papers should be submitted in a .pdf or .ps
format to the EDAS paper submission website. A
separate cover sheet should show the title of the
paper, the author(s) name(s) and affiliation(s),
and the address (including e-mail, telephone, and
fax) to which the correspondence should be sent.
All accepted papers will be published in the
conference proceedings. At least one author of
accepted papers is required to register at the full registration rate.
