MobiArch 2018 Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture To be held in conjunction with MobiSys 2018, June 10th, Munich, Germany www.sigmobile.org/mobisys/2018/
Call for Papers Recent years have witnessed not only mobile devices surpassing stationary Internet hosts in numbers, but also exponential growth of mobile data traffic due to ubiquitous penetration of portable devices, Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, user-generated content sharing, and user-centric applications such as augmented/virtual reality. In the meantime, mobile devices continue to increase in their computing power, as well as the network infrastructure is in the process of transforming from a hardware-dominated landscape to an increasingly virtualized and software-defined system with computing moving to the cloud, edge, and the fog to alleviate the processing load on the mobile devices. The increasing ability to collect and process large amounts of data pertaining to network, devices, and users is posing new challenges to network design, in which, for example, resources are provisioned in either centralized global data centers or local servers close to the network edge, or both interacting with one another.
As these trends continue, a reexamination of the architecture of the mobile-centric Internet is imperative. Particularly, given new opportunities and challenges resulting from the need to support massive amounts of shared contents and processing, software defined architectures, dynamic/mobile virtualized network functions, computational/storage support from cloud and edge/fog computing, and the emerging spectrum access techniques.
MobiArch 2018 has mobile Internet architectures evolving toward full exploitation of virtualization and edge/fog computing as the central theme, a new rising and challenging networking environment that mixes the design of virtualized infrastructures and application components for mobile networks/services with the mobility of users/devices and the challenging analysis of huge data volumes generated by mobile networks, devices, M2M communications, and applications. The emergence of cloud-dependent mobile services, the widespread growth of user-generated data, and the ever increasing use of cellular and wireless technologies, are leading to the collection of a vast amount of user mobility data as well as measurements of network states and service provisioning elements.
In this context, various networking challenges arise, such as seamless IP mobility management, algorithm design to correlate user mobility and application usages, the online or offline exploitation of large amount of mobility and usage data from the access network and user devices, investigating possibility of offloading computing/storage tasks from mobile hosts to the cloud but also to edge nodes and both, algorithm design to correlate traffic offloading to content offloading and application offloading as a consequence of mobile data analysis, pattern inference and estimation, and multi-connectivity technology exploitation for QoS, and extreme reliability and low-latency in challenged scenarios. To tackle these challenges, various issues need to be addressed, such as efficient mobility management and optimization, multi-homing, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, users' incentives to reduce network congestion, incentives for network providers to deploy new/alternative mobile Internet infrastructures, incentives for service developers/providers to define new mobile services, efficient and quality-aware mobile multimedia content distribution, information-centric and mobility-aware networking solutions, collection and management of mobile M2M data in 3-layers infrastructures with edge/fog computing and the cloud, new business models for mobile data, security and privacy, as well as related operational concerns and legal issues.
MobiArch 2018 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners from academia and industry that explore challenges and advances in architectures, algorithms, protocols, middleware, and technologies in the current Internet or in the future clean-slate Internet. We also encourage work-in-progress and position papers that describe highly original ideas, present new directions, or have the potential to generate insightful provocative discussions. MobiArch uses a single blind review policy for paper review. All papers will be published in the ACM Digital Library.
Topics of Interest All aspects around architectural issues and system support for mobility in the evolving Internet (e.g., towards content-centric, information-centric, edge/fog computing, and network softwarization), including but not limited to: * Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers (including cross-layer) of the IP stack * Architectures and protocols for mobile edge/fog computing * Architectures and protocols for efficient integration of cyber-physical sensors/actuators, edge nodes, and the cloud, with offloading opportunities in the different layers * Future Internet architecture for efficient mobility support * Mobile network management and architecture design with data analysis and learning, in particular with reference to the technical challenges of big and M2M data * Mobility in 5G (network slicing, mobility across access networks and in 5G-core, etc.) * Software defined and/or cloud-assisted mobile networking * Network virtualization in mobile Internet architecture * Connected vehicles architecture (and associated Vehicle-to-Vehicle/Vehicle-to-Infrastructure communications) * Impact of M2M communications (e.g., WiFi Direct, LTE Direct, etc.) on Internet architecture design * Mobile data sensing and fusion, in particular with reference to the technical challenges of big and M2M data * Impact of Information-Centric Networking on mobile and wireless networks * Cognitive networks design for mobile systems and applications * Seamless mobility and mobility-prediction-enhanced techniques in heterogeneous networks * Location management, positioning, and data management for wireless and mobility * Accounting, access control, security, and privacy issues, and novel technologies such as block-chains * Social, economic, scalability, and deployment issues * Large-scale pilots, deployment experiences, experimentation, and quantitative performance assessment of innovative mobile Internet architectures
