MobiSense 2011
1st International Workshop on Opportunistic Sensing and Processing in Mobile Wireless Sensor and Cellular networks
9-11 May 2011 | Bilbao, Spain
SCOPE:
The MobiSense workshop aims to bring together researchers from different fields which all share a passion for wireless sensor and cellular networks. The workshop is dedicated to the collaboration and interoperability among wireless sensor and cellular networks. These border research topics are of interests since they could provide means to enhance the performance of the various wireless technologies which are currently deployed.
The MobiSense workshop stimulates out-of-the-box thinking and collaboration. On the one hand, out-of-the-box thinking is a prerequisite when addressing the novel issues appearing in a heterogeneous network. On the other hand, collaboration is a key to innovation and further progress. By bringing together researchers from different wireless areas but sharing common problems the workshop enables not only experience sharing but also inspires new idea which all benefit the problem solving process. In suit, the topics’ nature, specifically dedicated to interoperability, opens the way toward enriching discussions and out-of-the-box thinking. Invited speakers contribute to the workshop by sharing their vision about the future of interconnecting wireless networks.
The MobiSense workshop welcomes researchers from the scientific community (of both university and research institutes) as well as participants from the industry.
TOPICS OF INTEREST:
Contributions on ongoing or finished, previously unpublished research as well as proposal papers on new research challenges are welcomed. Submissions from a broad spectrum of research fields are expected, all having the common interest in sensor and mobile wireless technologies. We especially encourage papers dedicated to integration of wireless sensor and cellular networks and their applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Architecture and framework
- Architecture and networking paradigms for opportunities sensing
- Protocol stacks with interoperability support
Wireless networks management
- Monitoring
- QoS provisioning
- Resource management
- Re-configurability
- Deployment tools
Networking
- Optimization techniques for opportunistic networks
- Self-configuration within heterogeneous networks
- Opportunistic dissemination
Distributed data processing
- Distributed data storage and forward
- Sensor fusion and context awareness
Applications
- New applications of opportunistic sensing including social networks, games and entertainment, urban and environmental monitoring and management
