CISE-CNS-NeTS-WN: Wireless Mobility - How Can It Be Harnessed

我们建议于2007年7月31日至8月1日在新泽西州罗格斯大学组织一次由NSF赞助的研讨会。主题将是无线移动。在过去的二十年里，世界各地发生了从固定电话到移动电话的重大转变。如今，在大多数国家，移动电话的数量超过了固定电话。最近，从固定设备到移动设备的同样转变也发生在从个人计算平台、笔记本电脑和pda接入互联网的过程中。这一趋势正在将曾经局限于战场的manet带入城市甚至家庭场景。本提案寻求NSF旅费资助，以便组织一个研讨会，讨论涉及无线移动性的关键研究问题。特别是移动性对无线应用的影响是什么；基础设施如何帮助管理交通；如何充分利用移动性（在路由、内容发现、连接管理方面）。我们如何才能用移动性测试平台来最好地测试新的移动性权衡？更广泛的影响：研讨会将汇集活跃在不同领域和应用的系统研究人员。智力优势：对MANET移动性的研究将带来复杂的分析建模和仿真技术。

We are proposing to organize an NSF sponsored Workshop at Rutgers University, New Jersey, July 31-Aug 1st, 2007. The theme will be wireless mobility. The past two decades have brought about a major shift from fixed to mobile phones all over the world. Mobile phones today outnumber fixed ones in most countries. The same shift from fixed to mobile has happened more recently in the access to the Internet from personal computing platforms, laptops and PDAs. This trend is now bringing MANETs, once confined to battlefield, to urban and even domestic scenarios. This proposal seeks NSF travel funding support in order to organize a Workshop where the critical research issues involving wireless mobility will be discussed. In particular, what is the impact of mobility on wireless applications; how can the Infrastructure help manage mobility; how can mobility be used to advantage (in routing, content discovery, connectivity management). How can we best test the new mobility trade offs with mobility testbeds? Broader Impact: The workshop will bring together systems researchers active in various different domains and applications. Intellectual Merit: research on MANET mobility will lead to sophisticated analytic modeling and simulation techniques.
