Track 4: Third International Home Networking conference
Scope:
The Home Networking (HN) track covers theory, architecture, protocol design and applications for the control of 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 carrying the different flows are also very different going from wireless networks (WiFi, UWB, etc.) to any kind of wired network. 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:
- Home Network and energy efficiency applications (Smart Grid)
- Wireless networks (Wi-Fi, UWB, ZigBee, 6LowPAN)
- Home Networking Routing Protocols
- PLC (HomePlug, OPERA, UPA, CEPCA, IEEE, HD-PLC Alliance)
- PLC QoS Management
- "Anywire" Communications (ITU-T G.hn)
- 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
