WORKSHOPS

RiMCET - Emerging Technologies in Rich Media Communications

The RiMCET workshop covers Applications and Services of IPTV and Rich

Media Content Delivery. The emerging applications such as Next gen TV,

Virtual Internet, interactive Games, Enterprise collaboration, Health

Services, etc. benefit from rich multi-media content in an effective

way. This workshop will provide a forum for researcher and system

engineers, to share knowledge and innovations emerging in the

networking and service delivery architectures for driving the next

generation Rich media services.

WISARD - WIreless Systems: Advanced Research and Development

The Wisard workshop covers the area of wireless network systems,

services, and applications. It focuses on the MAC layer issues (802.11

series), cross-layer techniques between physical, MAC, and network

layers, power management techniques, sensor networks, and mobility and

location management. This workshop will be useful for wireless network

practitioners and engineers working in industries, universities, and

corporate offices.

IAMCOM - Intelligent Networks: Adaptation, Communication & Reconfiguration

The IAMCOM workshop covers the area of intelligent networking in

contemporary settings to enable QoS adaptations and rich communications.

Unlike the intelligent networks of the 1990's which focused exclusively

on telecom network signaling, this workshop recasts the intelligent

networking as a holistic approach to the design of distributed networked

systems by considering the cross-layer interactions between the various

units of a network system. A wide range of application areas benefit

from the use of intelligent techniques: QoS in data netwoks, automotive

systems control, geo-spatial resource management, and emergency-response

networks.

NGIntW - Next Generation Internetworking

The NextGen Internet workshop focuses on where the current internet

communication protocols are today and how they should change to

accommodate the growth of internet users in the next decade. It

offers a forum for discussing a wide range of topics: from the

classical internet models to the Future Internet architecures

(such as the Geni in USA and other European efforts). Topics that

are of covered are voice over IP, IPv4 vs IPv6, bandwidth management,

and the next generation architectures. The Internet designers and

managers will find this workshop quite useful.

WIPCom - Wireless IP Communication: Technologies, Network & Mobility

Architectures, Applications and Trends

Recent advances in wireless technologies, including the emergence of

3G/4G, fixed mobile convergence, rich media (web 2.0) applications and

femto/pico cells, are bringing about new paradigms of mobile

communication. This workshop aims to address new and work in progress

in technologies, architectures, applications and trends in wireless

mobile communication. The workshop will feature regular papers,

posters and invited talks.
