5th IFIP
– TC6 Networking Conference
(http://www.ifip-networking.org)
Date:
May, 19 2006
Venue:
NGNM04 held on May
NGNM06 targets to address
the challenges of middleware platforms required for new generation
mobile/wireless heterogeneous radio networks and services. Mobile/Wireless
middleware is anticipated to increase the performance of applications running
across potentially mixed wireless networks, to support multiple mobile/wireless
devices, to provide continuous wireless access to content and services, to ensure
end-to-end QoS and secure content and services delivery and to offer cross-system
and cross-layer optimization taking into account issues related to usage
behavior, mobility patterns, traffic profiling, network selection and relevant
horizontal/vertical handovers.
