Call for Papers
HomeNets aims to bring together researchers and practitioners to share new ideas and experiences and to discuss the challenges and important questions posed by today's and future home networks. We solicit stimulating, original, previously unpublished ideas on completed work, position papers, and/or work-in-progress papers. We further encourage papers that propose new research directions or could generate lively debate at the workshop. While co-located with ACM Sigcomm, HomeNets intends to solicit papers from the computer science and networking community, as well as the HCI community that has also turned its attention to the technology barriers faced by users in their homes. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Monitoring, troubleshooting and Management of Home Networks
- Measurement and Management of residential Internet Access
- Automatic Configuration of Home Networks (DLNA, UPnP, etc)
- Measurement studies of Home Networking usage scenarios
- Home Networking applications (Internet TV, Video Streaming, Video On Demand, Games, etc)
- Home and Access Networking protocols and technologies (xDSL/Cable, WiFi, Bluetooth, 3/4G, femto cells, power lines, satellite, MoCA, plastic fibers)
- Smart technologies for home utilities (e.g., smart grid)
- Green Home Networking
- Content distribution in and for Home Networks
- Home Network storage architectures
- Mobile devices and Home Networks
- Cloud-aware Home Networking
- Extended Home Networks through Remote Access and Control
- Robustness of Home Network Devices including Virtualization
- Home Networks and neighborhood/community networks
- Home Automation with sensor technologies
- Network-aware visualization tools and interfaces for Home Networks
- Security and privacy in Home Networks
- Human Computer Interfaces for Home Systems
- User studies on main technology problems faced by home users today
