The 17th International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet Communications (IFIP WWIC 2019)

Due to advancements in technology and development of new services, we foresee a tremendous growth of new devices and smart things that need to be connected to the Internet through a variety of wireless technologies. At the same time, the edge of the Internet is increasingly empowered with new capabilities, like pervasive sensing and computing power, which opens the way to new domains, services and business models beyond the traditional mobile Internet, such as connected cars, participatory and urban sensing, industrial IoT. As a consequence, new types of information have to be delivered by the network with varying requirements in terms of reliability, transmission rates and latency. To cope with the exponential growth of devices and mobile data traffic, there is a need for clean-slate or evolutionary Internet architectures merging and assembling different network technologies, supporting new paradigms for wired/wireless system planning and optimization, efficient transport over heterogeneous wireless access options, efficient and quality-aware content distribution, and new approaches for unified operations and management of the heterogeneous components, like software-defined systems and network function virtualization. These are only some examples of the challenges that are of interest to IFIP WWIC 2019.

Topics: Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: Architectures and protocols for unified operations and management in wired/wireless environments, Content-centric and user-centric networking in wired/wireless environments, Heterogeneous wireless access networks, Internet/Web of Things and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications, Machine-learning approaches for network planning, Mobile clouds and mobile edge computing (MEC), Network mobility and handover management, Network Function Virtualization (NFV), Network security, trust and privacy in a wired/wireless environment, Routing in wired/wireless environments, Seamless inter-networking and self-organisation, Software-defined wireless networks, 5G and beyond 5G networks, Wireless ad hoc, mesh, vehicular and sensor networks, Wireless network monitoring, Wearable communications and computing
