*Motivation*
Wireless technologies are heavily being used as last-hop of fixed
networks, as well as starting to be applied to the backhaul. Such
flexibility, inherent to wireless technologies, is giving rise to new
types of networks which are spread by means of the end-user. Their
potential is not explored in terms of new Internet horizons, potential
business opportunities, nor in terms of social interaction: user-centric
wireless networking models, where cooperation is the key topic, can
contribute to the intensification of the phenomenon that is today the
core of the so-called Web2.0.
The second edition of the U-NET workshop aims at promoting a debate on
opportunities and challenges related with user-provided networks, both
in technical and in business terms. Such debate is highly relevant as of
today since user-provided networking seems to have the potential to
provide a paradigm shift in Internet communication models, given that:
i) such novel functionality allows local-loop networks to operate in a
completely autonomic way; ii) the end-user becomes a provider of
Internet services (e.g. connectivity) based upon cooperation incentives
or rewards, as well as based upon his/her own mobility patterns and
social behavior.
The workshop program will include presentations of peer-reviewed papers
and a discussion panel with guests from industry and academia. We
envision U-NET as a forum aiming to ignite a debate concerning technical
challenges and impact (negatively or positively) that user-provided
networking may have on Internet communication models.
*Topics*
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
* Modeling user incentives
* Impact on Internet design
* UPN challenges and opportunities for access providers
* Trust models, incentives to share broadband access
* Social mobility modelling
* User-centric mobility management
* Self-organization
* Wireless cooperation
