Call for workshops
Baltic Congress on Future Internet Communications BCFIC Riga 2011 will address all the challenges of building the Future Internet, which will be based on mobile, wireless and fixed broadband communications infrastructures. BCFIC Riga 2011 will become a stage for researchers, officials, decision makers, practitioners from the public sector and industry, people involved in other related initiatives and many others. The Congress will facilitate knowledge transfer to the community and practitioners by promoting results dissemination.
The Internet of the Future will incorporate a large number of autonomous wireless objects moving with diverse patterns and speeds while communicating via several radio interfaces. Examples of such objects may include humans, cars or unmanned aerial vehicles, with every object acting as a networking device generating, relaying and/or absorbing data. Achieving the Internet of the Future, will require global interoperability amongst objects/devices, not typically common place due to inherent features of today’s Internet. To overcome the current shortcomings, a number of research challenges have to be addressed in the area of networking, including protocol engineering, development of applications and services, as well as realistic use-cases. Applications, services, overlay networking will receive a special treatment within the Congress. With the above focus of the conference, we want to encourage more interactions and discussions on bold new topics. Workshops are the vehicles to enable the discussions on new but not yet in the main stream. We invite workshop proposals to cater to exciting new topics and emerging topics. Some possible examples are given below but we intend to consider and encourage newer ideas:
