Recent spectacular achievements in wireless, mobile, and sensor networks have dramatically changed our lives in many ways. However, the rapid evolution of wireless systems not only promises increased functionality, reliability, availability, and security, as well as putting a wide variety of new services at the users’ disposal ? it also creates a number of design challenges that our research community is now facing. Scientists and engineers need to come up with, and promptly implement, novel wireless network architectures, while system operators and planners rethink their business models and attend to the growing expectations of their customer base. To provide a suitable forum for discussi...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Ad-Hoc, Mobile, and Wireless Networks, ADHOC-NOW 2008, held in Sophia-Antipolis, France, September 2008. The 40 revised full papers and the 15 poster presentations were carefully reviewed and selected from 110 submissions. The papers deal with advances in Ad-Hoc networks, i.e. wireless, self-organizing systems formed by co-operating nodes within communication range of each other that form temporary networks. Their topology is dynamic, decentralized, ever changing and the nodes may move around arbitrarily.
There are numerous factors contributing to the dynamic growth of wireless communication systems we've been observing in the past 10 years, the most important being the increasing network user mobility and the technological advances in high-speed data transmission over radio channels. Research centres and standards-making institutions the world over conduct works on 3G integrated systems of person-to-person and person-to-computer communications, wireless counterparts of classical LAN, ATM and IP architectures, satellite and access networks as well as advanced service platforms like W AP and other concepts. Among the many commercial and non-profit organisations professionally involved in the d...
This book contains the best papers of the 4th International Conference on E-business and Telecommunications (ICETE), which was held during July 28–31, 2007 in Barcelona, Spain. The conference reflects a continuing effort to increase the dissemination of recent research results among professionals who work in the areas of e-business and telecommunications. ICETE is a joint international conf- ence integrating four major areas of knowledge that are divided into four cor- sponding conferences: ICE-B (International Conference on e-Business), SECRYPT (International Conference on Security and Cryptography), WINSYS (International Conference on Wireless Information Systems) and SIGMAP (Internation...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Future Multimedia Networking Workshop, FMN 2010, held in Krakow, Poland, in June 2010. The 16 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 45 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on quality of service (QoS) and quality of experience (QoE) management in content centric networks, video quality assessment in future multimedia networking, video distribution in future multimedia networking, and demonstration on future multimedia networking.
This book contains the best papers of the Third International Conference on E-business and Telecommunications (ICETE), which was held in 2006 in Portugal. This conference reflects a continuing effort to increase the dissemination of recent research results among professionals who work in the e-business field. ICETE is a joint international conference integrating four major areas of knowledge that are divided into four cor- sponding conferences: ICE-B (Int’l Conf. on e-Business), SECRYPT (Int’l Conf. on Security and Cryptography), WINSYS (Int’l Conf. on Wireless Information Systems) and SIGMAP (Int’l Conf. on Signal Processing and Multimedia). The program of this joint conference incl...
This volume constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 9th International Conference on Multimedia Communications, Services and Security, MCSS 2017, held in Kraków, Poland, in November 2017. The 16 full papers included in the volume were selected from 38 submissions. The papers cover ongoing research activities in the following topics: multimedia services; intelligent monitoring; audio-visual systems; biometric applications; experiments and deployments.
We are witnessing an ever-increasing thrust toward the era of multimedia information networks, largely spurred by the U.S. Government's proposal for the National Information Infrastructure in the fall of 1993. While more people are subscribing to the services of narrowband ISDN, the implementation of broadband ISDN by means of Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) has accelerated since the formation of the ATM Forum in 1993. In the meantime, frame relay may prevail for inter-LAN connections. In the "upper layer" of the network, commercial use of Internet is rapidly emerging. To ensure the successful development of technology, it is vital to use a judicious approach in assessing the architecture a...
This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Workshop on Communication Technologies for Vehicles, Nets4Cars/Nets4Trains/Nets4Aircraft 2017, held in Toulouse, France, in May 2017. The 12 full papers presented together with 2 demo papers in this volumewere carefully reviewed and selected from 16 submissions. The volume features contributions in the theory or practice of intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and communication technologies for: Vehicles on road: e.g. cars, tracks and buses; Air: e.g. aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles; and Rail: e.g. trains, metros and trams.
Within this volume the rapid evolutionary changes currently pervading all telecommunication fields are explored. Changes in teletraffic technology, such as from analog to digital, from dedicated systems to service integrated networks insure a steady increase in teletraffic research activities in the near future. Included in the over 1000 pages of high quality research reports, are six in-depth workshops organized by renown experts in the fields of ATM, stochastic modelling, systems engineering and traffic engineering, future telecom scenarios, teletraffic problems of developing countries, and history of teletraffic. Keynote speakers were given the opportunity of first choices among the papers submitted ensuring excellent quality among the papers included.
