2nd Baltic Congress on Future Internet Communications (BCFIC 2012)
25-27 April, Vilnius, Lithuania
http://bcfic.org


Call for Workshops and Special Sessions

Baltic Congress on Future Internet Communications BCFIC Vilnius 2012
will address all the challenges of building the Future Internet, which
will be based on mobile, wireless and fixed broadband communications
infrastructures. BCFIC Vilnius 2012 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 and
Special Sessions are the vehicles to enable the discussions on new but
not yet in the main stream. We invite Workshop and Special Session
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:

* Future Internet Technologies

* Wireless Networking for Moving Objects
* Home networking
* Mobile and Wireless Networks
* Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) & Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks
