****************************** Call for Papers First International Workshop on Multi-homing and Mobility for the Future Internet (MMFI) http://phare.lip6.fr/mmfi2011/
Satellite workshop of the GIIS conference August 4-6, 2011, Da Nang, Viet Nam (http://www.giis2011.org/GIIS2011/index.htm) ****************************
Today's mobile terminals are equipped with more than one network interface such as Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, Wi-Max and Ethernet. The variety of access technologies offer users a great deal of flexibility to connect to the Internet. Multi-homing and mobility are becoming the focal point in protocol design. Mobility support allows users to be constantly connected, even when they are on the go. Multi-homing utilizes resources from the available interfaces in an efficient manner. Depending on the access technology associated with each interface, a mobile host can be connected to the Internet by an infrastructure network or through an ad-hoc network.
Many protocols have been proposed for mobility and multi-homing support. Mobile IP, vertical handover and cross-layer design are mainly proposed for mobility in infrastructure-based networks. Multipath TCP, Stream Control Transmission Protocol, Multiple Care-of-Address registration, Level 3 Multi-homing Shim Protocol for IPv6 are solutions for multi-homing. Routing protocols are the major means to provide mobility in ad-hoc networks. In designing protocols for the future Internet, we will need to take into account not only mobility and multi-homing requirements, but also their potential impact on quality of service, resiliency and security of the communications.
The workshop is an opportunity for researchers working on multi-homing and/or mobility for the future Internet to present scientific results, exchange experiences and highlight future directions. The main topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Multi-homing protocols at transport and network layers - Mobility management architecture and protocols - Performance evaluation of multi-homing and mobility management protocols - Impacts of multi-homing and mobility on Quality-of-Service - Security issues related to multi-homing and mobility - Cross-layer design for multi-homing and mobility support - Management of horizontal and vertical handovers - Algorithms for multi-homing and mobility management - Algorithms for interface selection - Algorithms for bandwidth aggregation and performance optimization - Mobility support in infrastructure mode and ad-hoc mode and their relationships - Ad-hoc or mesh networks as a new type of access networks
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the MMFI workshop.
