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 inter connect 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-do main routing . In the future, t he 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 .
