KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

*Prof. Leandros Tassiulas,* Computer Engineering and Telecommunications, 
University of Thessaly, Greece and Center for Research and Technology Hellas
_Keynote Speech Title: _ *Content Proliferation and Caching in Future 
Internet Architectures *
_Abstract:_ The proliferation of storage at routers and other parts of 
the network hierarchy in combination with a paradigm shift in the nature 
of internet traffic that is becoming primarily content triggered, 
motivate recent explorations for novel internet architectures that are 
better suited to the new reality. Storage allows replication of 
information anywhere in the network, generalizing the paradigm of 
content distribution networks while supporting novel information access 
modes. In this presentation will address issues of information 
replication in relation to content popularity and spatial distribution 
of demand while propose schemes for efficient content management in 
caching hierarchies. Then will consider flat network architectures 
motivated by adhoc networks and explore the effect of caching in the 
many-node regime. Certain information replication schemes will be 
presented that are asymptotically optimal. Their investigation in 
growing network sizes will reveal smoother scaling behavior than what 
has been observed for adhoc networks without caching.

Prof. Carla-Fabiana Chiasserini*, Telecommunication Networks Group, 
Politecnico di Torino, Italy
_Keynote Speech Title:_ *A Path Toward Mobile Services in Vehicular 
Networks*
_Abstract:_ This talk provides thoughts on how wireless mesh networks 
and  vehicular networks can be combined and exploited to support 
Internet-based services to mobile users. Based on the recent studies in 
these fields, we will try to assess how well the currently available 
approaches and solutions meet the challenges of satisfying the user 
needs.  Key aspects addressed in this talk are the issues of how to 
avoid congestion of the radio channel and of how to evaluate the impact 
of mobile-to-mobile and mobile-to-infrastructure communications on the 
efficiency of data services. We will also present the results of  field 
operational tests, and highlight open problems and future challenges.
