ACM DIN 2005
First International ACM* Workshop on Dynamic Interconnection of Networks
http://www.docomoeurolabs.de/mobicom-2005-din-ws.html,
In Conjunction with ACM MobiCom 2005
September 2, 2005
Cologne, Germany
Scope: A salient feature of future mobile networks will be support for flexible, dynamic inter-connection of networks. New kinds of mobile networks, such as Personal Area Networks (PANs), Body Area Networks (BANs), inter-vehicle networks, and sensor networks, arise and have to interconnect among themselves and with existing infrastructure. Such networks will integrate heterogeneous technologies, and their topologies are dynamic. Currently, inter-working in IP networks consists essentially of inter-domain routing. In the future, the control plane interconnection of these networks needs to enable e.g. seamless mobility, routing, QoS, multi-homed networks, charging, and security. For instance, mobility handling is different for a mobile phone, a train network or a BAN. Hence it needs to be negotiated which specific protocols to use and in which way. The owners of future mobile networks often are non-experts and hence auto-configuration is a major issue. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers working on interconnection of mobile networks and related topics to exchange their ideas.
Topics of Interest:
Original papers are invited in the area of dynamic interconnection of networks. Papers must represent high-quality and previously unpublished work. Topics of interest include:
- Internetworking architectural principles
- End-to-end control interconnection regarding e.g.
Mobility management, routing, QoS provisioning, security, charging
- Naming & addressing for inter-networking
- Moving networks, ad-hoc networking and interconnection technology
- Autoconfiguring networks
- Self-organized internetworking
Accepted papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library*
