MED-HOC-NET 2012 11th Annual Mediterranean Ad Hoc Networking Workshop Ayia Napa, Cyprus, 19 - 22 June 2012 http://medhocnet2012.cs.ucy.ac.cy
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS *Prof. Leandros Tassiulas,* Computer Engineering and Telecommunications, University of Thessaly, Greece and Center for Research and Technology Hellas _Keynote Speech Title: _ *Content Proliferation and Caching in Future Internet Architectures * _Abstract:_ The proliferation of storage at routers and other parts of the network hierarchy in combination with a paradigm shift in the nature of internet traffic that is becoming primarily content triggered, motivate recent explorations for novel internet architectures that are better suited to the new reality. Storage allows replication of information anywhere in the network, generalizing the paradigm of content distribution networks while supporting novel information access modes. In this presentation will address issues of information replication in relation to content popularity and spatial distribution of demand while propose schemes for efficient content management in caching hierarchies. Then will consider flat network architectures motivated by adhoc networks and explore the effect of caching in the many-node regime. Certain information replication schemes will be presented that are asymptotically optimal. Their investigation in growing network sizes will reveal smoother scaling behavior than what has been observed for adhoc networks without caching. * Prof. Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini*, Telecommunication Networks Group, Politecnico di Torino, Italy _Keynote Speech Title:_ *A Path Toward Mobile Services in Vehicular Networks* _Abstract:_ This talk provides thoughts on how wireless mesh networks and vehicular networks can be combined and exploited to support Internet-based services to mobile users. Based on the recent studies in these fields, we will try to assess how well the currently available approaches and solutions meet the challenges of satisfying the user needs. Key aspects addressed in this talk are the issues of how to avoid congestion of the radio channel and of how to evaluate the impact of mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-infrastructure communications on the efficiency of data services. We will also present the results of field operational tests, and highlight open problems and future challenges.
