conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library
Paper submission via EDAS (please read the
submission instructions below first)
CES http://www.cesweb.org/ will be held in Las Vegas during the same period.

**************************************************************************************
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.
Important Dates
Paper Submission Deadline: September 1, 2009
Notification of Acceptance: September 21, 2009
Camera-Ready Submissions: October 1, 2009
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.
