Call for Papers
First International Workshop on Multi-homing and Mobility for the Future 
Internet (MMFI)
http://phare.lip6.fr/mmfi2011/

Satellite workshop of the GIIS conference
August 4-6, 2011, Da Nang, Viet Nam
(http://www.giis2011.org/GIIS2011/index.htm)
****************************

Today's mobile terminals are equipped with more than one network 
interface such as Wi-Fi, 3G/4G, Wi-Max and Ethernet. The variety of 
access technologies offer users a great deal of flexibility to connect 
to the Internet. Multi-homing and mobility are becoming the focal point 
in protocol design. Mobility support allows users to be constantly 
connected, even when they are on the go. Multi-homing utilizes resources 
from the available interfaces in an efficient manner. Depending on the 
access technology associated with each interface, a mobile host can be 
connected to the Internet by an infrastructure network or through an 
ad-hoc network.

Many protocols have been proposed for mobility and multi-homing support. 
Mobile IP, vertical handover and cross-layer design are mainly proposed 
for mobility in infrastructure-based networks. Multipath TCP, Stream 
Control Transmission Protocol, Multiple Care-of-Address registration, 
Level 3 Multi-homing Shim Protocol for IPv6 are solutions for 
multi-homing. Routing protocols are the major means to provide mobility 
in ad-hoc networks. In designing protocols for the future Internet, we 
will need to take into account not only mobility and multi-homing 
requirements, but also their potential impact on quality of service, 
resiliency and security of the communications.

The workshop is an opportunity for researchers working on multi-homing 
and/or mobility for the future Internet to present scientific results, 
exchange experiences and highlight future directions. The main topics of 
interest include but are not limited to:

- Multi-homing protocols at transport and network layers
- Mobility management architecture and protocols
- Performance evaluation of multi-homing and mobility management protocols
- Impacts of multi-homing and mobility on Quality-of-Service
- Security issues related to multi-homing and mobility
- Cross-layer design for multi-homing and mobility support
- Management of horizontal and vertical handovers
- Algorithms for multi-homing and mobility management
- Algorithms for interface selection
- Algorithms for bandwidth aggregation and performance optimization
- Mobility support in infrastructure mode and ad-hoc mode and their 
relationships
- Ad-hoc or mesh networks as a new type of access networks

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the MMFI workshop.
