Call For Participations

============================================================

Second International Workshop on Personalized Networks

http://pernets.org/

To be held in conjunction with:

The 4th Annual International Conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous Systems:

Networks and Services (MOBIQUITOUS 2007, http://www.mobiquitous.org)

August 10, 2007 - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

============================================================

Purpose of this workshop

===================

The ubiquitous nature of wireless networks has spawned many interesting applications that were unimagined hitherto. It has also brought many challenges for the communication and networking community to address. On one hand we see present day mobile devices are capable of providing many services that required several devices before. For example, most cell phones nowadays provide high speed data access, still and video cameras, PDA functionality, etc. These advances in device sophistication and service offerings, including wireless hotspots, have made a difference in the way we communicate. With increased user mobility and user's desire to always be connected, we have seen a growing interest in Personal Area Networks (PANs) and Body Area Networks (BANs). These networks can be tuned and applied meaningfully for individual users and their requirements. On the other hand the Internet has changed our way of interacting dramatically. These two major communication areas are having an in-depth influence on the way we communicate; it is worth considering them 'together' as the future communication vehicle.

Future Networking Technologies: A Funding Agency Perspective

Sirin Tekinay, Program Director, National Science Foundation (NSF)

This talk not only introduces and discusses National Science Foundation initiatives and programs relevant to the workshop, but also seeks audience input for exemplary applications of their subtopics. These activities range from individual program elements to foundation-wide initiatives. The directorate of Computer Information Systems and Engineering (CISE) of the National Science Foundation announced its "Clean Slate Internet" vision and initiative two years ago. The project, Global Environment for Networking Innovations (GENI), has been underway since then. Research programs around GENI have been formulated (Future Internet Design- FIND, Cyber Trust, and Science for Internet's Next Generation- SING) by different CISE organizations. However, a comprehensive research portfolio that will bring together wireless communications and sensor networking, social computing, network architecture, and mobility is on the drawing board of a CISE-wide team. Another CISE-led NSF-wide initiative is the Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) which has the following five components: Knowledge Extraction, Complex Interactions, Computational Experimentation, Virtual Environments, and Educating Researchers and Students. These themes call for projects at the interface of natural sciences, social sciences, computing, and engineering. Advanced networking research, including network science (as opposed to the art of networking) will be covered in "Complex Interactions."
