Track 1: 2nd International Home Networking (IHN) 2008
The International Home Networking (IHN) 2008 conference covers theory, architecture, protocols design and application for the control of the future domestic networks. Indeed, domestic networks are evolving very quickly to become complete networks. Tens and even hundreds of flows are going through this network. Moreover, the flows are coming from very different machines: from the telecommunication world, the Consumer Electronic industry, and the domestic manufacturers. Networks to carry the different flows are also very different going from wireless networks (WiFi, UWB, etc.) to CPL networks via more classical Ethernet solutions. Finally, equipments are very heterogeneous: TV, laptop, PDA, refrigerator, sensor, RFID, etc.
The aim of this track is to provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia everywhere in the world to exchange ideas and present results of ongoing researches in home networking. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless networks (Wi-Fi, UWB, ZigBee, 6LowPAN)
- Home Networking Routing Protocols
- PLC (HomePlug, OPERA, UPA, CEPCA, IEEE, HD-PLC Alliance)
- PLC QoS Management
- DLNA, UPnP, Rally, etc.
- Internet-Box, set-top-box, bridge, gateway, etc.
- Access Networks (ADSL, VDSL, optical, etc.)
- Home Gateway
- DSL Forum, HGI, Home DVB
- Vertical handover
- Wireless QoS Management
- Home Network Security
- Ambient intelligence
- Autonomic Home Networking
- New Home Applications
- Performance & Experiment
