KMi Seminars
Exploiting Repeated Mobility Patterns in Future Wireless Networks
This event took place on Wednesday 12 November 2008 at 11:00

 
Fawad Nazir

The work is funded by Ericsson Sweden under the project : CAMP (Context Aware Mobility Project) This talk will discuss two research questions:

1. How to exploit people’s social encounters to improve the content delivery performance and lower end-to-end delay in delay tolerant networks?

2. How can predicting mobility patterns help lower service costs? and

Ask: 1. How can we KMI researchers help in doing such a research?

Future Internet is...


Future Internet
With over a billion users, today's Internet is arguably the most successful human artifact ever created. The Internet's physical infrastructure, software, and content now play an integral part of the lives of everyone on the planet, whether they interact with it directly or not. Now nearing its fifth decade, the Internet has shown remarkable resilience and flexibility in the face of ever increasing numbers of users, data volume, and changing usage patterns, but faces growing challenges in meetings the needs of our knowledge society. Globally, many major initiatives are underway to address the need for more scientific research, physical infrastructure investment, better education, and better utilisation of the Internet. Within Japan, USA and Europe major new initiatives have begun in the area.

To succeed the Future Internet will need to address a number of cross-cutting challenges including:

  • Scalability in the face of peer-to-peer traffic, decentralisation, and increased openness

  • Trust when government, medical, financial, personal data are increasingly trusted to the cloud, and middleware will increasingly use dynamic service selection

  • Interoperability of semantic data and metadata, and of services which will be dynamically orchestrated

  • Pervasive usability for users of mobile devices, different languages, cultures and physical abilities

  • Mobility for users who expect a seamless experience across spaces, devices, and velocities
