**************************************************************************************
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.
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.
