International Workshop on
Practical Issues and Applications in Next Generation Wireless Networks
(PINGEN)
in conjunction with ACM MOBICOM 2012, Istanbul, Turkey, August 26, 2012

Scope:
In recent years, there is growing demand for data traffic on next generation
wireless networks due to the proliferation of data hungry applications
(e.g. streaming video, interactive traffic flows, etc) and emergence of
smart
terminal devices and their applications, such as smart grids, mobile cloud
services, advanced healthcare systems, intelligent transportation systems.
On the other hand, need for ubiquitous computing and high mobility support
also become evident as users are more and more asking for ?any-time
any-where?
connectivity. Hence, an important challenge for telecom vendors and
operators
is devising and deploying cost-effective yet high capacity infrastructures,
which support also large coverage and high mobility. Such a challenge puts
forward an ever enlarging set of problems, both on intra-technology as
well as
inter-technology domains, putting integration challenges also in the
picture.
This workshop focuses on design and deployment issues of next generation
wireless infrastructures, potentially made up of heterogeneous access
technologies, supporting a wide range of applications and user needs in a
coherent and unified manner. This workshop will bring together people from
different research areas, and provide a forum to exchange ideas, discuss
solutions, and share experiences among researchers, professionals, and
application developers both from industry and academia in all aspects of
next
generation wireless networks.
Subjects of interests include, but are not limited to:
- Heterogeneous network (HetNets) deployment strategies
- Business models, network management and offloading strategies for
user-deployed infrastructure
- Distributed algorithms and protocols for policy control in
heterogeneous communication technologies
- Energy-efficient network architectures and protocols, resource
management techniques
- System Architectures and Applications for Smart Grid
- Smart Grid Communication Networks and System Simulators
- Experiences from real-world wireless network deployment, test-bed and
field trials
- Innovative mobile application frameworks for seamless integration
- Machine-to-Machine (M2M) applications and technologies in
heterogeneous networks
- Coverage and capacity issues in future wireless cellular networks
- Mobile cloud service models for high mobility
- Data mining and large-scale mobile data management techniques in
facilitating heterogeneous access
- QoS (Quality-of-Service), scalability and reliability issues in
heterogeneous networks
- Unified security, trust and privacy issues
