Abstract

Internet is being extended beyond its traditional boundaries (i.e., areas with network infrastructure) through gradually incorporating a wide–range of challenging networks and autonomous devices. From traditional wireless networks to opportunistic networks of mobile devices in urban environments and deep–space communications, the new approaches require an efficient merging with the traditional wired infrastructure. The need for novel all–weather protocols, clean–slate or evolutionary architectures, merging and assembling of different network technologies, unified operation and management of the heterogeneous components and the support for new multimedia services are only few examples of the wide range of technologies building–up this new global network. WWIC addresses research topics such as the design and evaluation of protocols, the dynamics of the integration, the performance tradeoffs, the need for new performance metrics and cross–layer interactions. This year, we particularly emphasize on areas such as Delay– and Disruption–Tolerant Networks (DTNs) and Opportunistic Networks. The goal of the conference is to present high–quality results in the field of global internetworking, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. WWIC is a single–track conference which has reached, within 9 years, a high quality level, which is reflected both in the level of participation as well as the acceptance ratio and the amount and quality of submitted papers. Following the conference tradition there will also be a best paper award. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: – AAA in mobile environments – Ad–hoc mobile networks – Blended network configurations – Cloud and data center computing – Content–centric networking – Cross layer design and optimization – Delay/disruptive tolerant and opportunistic networking – Economical issues of challenging networks – End–to–end Quality of Service support – Green networking – Handover techniques – Heterogeneous wireless access networks – Hybrid wired / wireless environments – Interactions between wireless and optical networks – Integration of wired and wireless networks – Modeling of heterogeneity aspects – Mobile service level agreements / specifications – Network design and network planning – Network mobility and mobility management – Network coding in mobile networks – Network security in mobile environments – Performance evaluation of challenging networks – Pricing, charging and accounting – QoS signaling in mobile environments – Resource management and admission control – Routing in mobile and opportunistic networks – Service creation and management – Simulation for next generation mobile networks – Space internetworking – Technologies beyond 3G networks – Traffic characterization and modeling – Traffic engineering – Transport protocols and congestion control – Unified management of integrated challenging networks – User–centric networking – Vehicular networks – Virtual and overlay networks – Wireless mesh networks – Wireless multimedia systems – Wireless network monitoring – Wireless sensor networks
