Call for Papers
2nd IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2008)
http://www.csg.uzh.ch/events/bod08/
In conjunction with IEEE/IFIP NOMS 2008
http://www2.dcc.ufmg.br/eventos/noms2008/
April 11, 2008
Salvador da Bahia, Brazil
Scope
The second BoD workshop follows the first successful workshop which was
held in conjunction with IEEE Globecom 2006. Driven by the recent
technical advances in telecommunications, especially in the area of
network virtualization and wireless mesh networks, as well as based on
the new potential of emerging peer-to-peer (P2P) and next generation
networking (NGN) concepts, the goal of this workshop is to take a fresh
and innovative look at the concept of bandwidth on demand (BoD).
The rapid technological progress in the area network virtualization,
mainly driven by new optical fiber technology and virtual router
infrastructures, is generating a new trend for "on demand" provisioning
of bandwidth or even whole networks for applications that require
short-term bandwidth assignments at large scale, such as large sporting
events or cultural open air activities. However, suitable business
models for "on demand" bandwidth services are currently missing.
The BoD 2008 workshop seeks original papers, both from industry as well
as academia, dealing with the technical, economic, and legal dimensions
of BoD mechanisms. The workshop will include presentations and
discussions of accepted technical papers, as well as invited talks and a
panel session.
