MobiArch '08 — The 3rd ACM International Workshop on Mobility in the Evolving Internet Architecture
The organizing committee is delighted to invite you to MobiArch '08, co-located with ACM SIGCOMM 2008 in Seattle, WA, USA.
Call for Papers
Recent developments in wireless access technologies and mobile devices are beginning to make widespread user, terminal and network mobility a reality in the commercial Internet. At the same time, the Internet architecture struggles to incorporate the functionality that will sustain this increasingly more mobile and more dynamic Internet use. Efficient mobility management and mobility optimizations, locator-identifier splits, multihoming, security and related network operation and management functions are still in the early stages of development. It is, however, already clear that supporting widespread mobility poses to significantly impact the original end-to-end design of the Internet.
At the same time, critical momentum is building to significantly revise or even replace the current Internet architecture. Several substantial Future Internet initiatives have started in Europe, the US and Asia, and the topic is also actively being discussed in the vendor and network operator communities. These Future Internet efforts offer the exciting opportunity to design radically different approaches to supporting host and network mobility and multihoming, and may eventually lead to an internetwork architecture with significantly more advanced mobility features than those that the piecemeal extensions of the current Internet protocols result in.
MobiArch'08 welcomes submissions from both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in architectures, protocols and emerging technologies to enable mobility and multihoming in the Internet, as well as concepts and designs to support widespread mobility and multihoming in future internetworks. Early results, position papers, systems and measurement papers are particularly welcome.
Topics
MobiArch'08 covers all aspects related to mobility in the current and future Internet, including, but not limited to:
- Architectures and protocols for mobility support at all layers of the Internet protocol stack, as well as cross-layer approaches
- Novel concepts to support widespread mobility and multihoming in a Future Internet
- Routing and addressing issues (including locator/identifier splits) and their impact on the Internet architecture
- Multihoming, including flow distribution and load-sharing for wireless and mobility
- Performance evaluation, experimentation and modeling of Internet mobility
- Models for mobility patterns and their experimental validation
- New wireless technologies and services and their impact on the Internet architecture
- Location management, positioning and data management for wireless and mobility
- Accounting, access control, security and privacy issues and their impact on the Internet architecture
- Social, economic, scalability and deployment issues
Submission Instructions
Submissions must be no longer than six pages, including all figures and references, must be in PDF format, and must follow the ACM formatting guidelines. Submissions that do not adhere to these requirements will be rejected without further review.
Peer review is single-blind; the authors names and affiliations are to be included on the submission. Submissions cannot be previously published or be under concurrent review elsewhere. The submission of position papers is encouraged; please clearly identify position papers as such when submitting.
