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 and the Internet of
Your Things. 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
- Personalized networks for rural areas
- Context awareness
- Internet of (your) things technologies
- 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
- Personalization of virtual resources
- Cooperative and collaborative methods for 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
Submission Instructions
