TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
Advances in mobile and wireless communication are enlarging
and enhancing the services provided by the Internet infrastructure towards
any time, any place and any device features. Ubiquitous services impose
new requirements to the entire infrastructure, from the system to the
middleware and the applications that should adapt traditional services
to different mobile user terminals and profiles, and embed new functions
and tools to support the new services and new requirements of the future
scenario.
The new Internet service infrastructure can only succeed on the basis
of a strict synergism between the heterogeneous variety of mobile wireless
devices and the fixed network organization that should suite and follow
the requirements and constraints imposed by the wireless and mobile counterpart.
The specific limitations of mobile wireless devices, such as discontinuity
in connections, disconnection, and energy and resource shortages, connected
with the new location- and context-sensitivity property, are challenging
issues. Only a new methodology to produce a synergic design of an integrated
and unified middleware can permit the deployment of all viable and available
services that make possible to consider new properties for fruition, mainly
connected with the new features of context-awareness. Many different provisioning
scenarios are on the way, from the possibility of providing non-strict
real-time data streaming adapted to very different wireless devices, by
taking advantage of caching and multicast wherever possible, to a possibility
of creating dynamic and impromptu communities based on common current
locality and on presently available heterogeneous devices, by taking into
account different resources and energy consumption limitations.
After the encouraging answer to the first edition, this second workshop intends to offer a renovated opportunity of putting together different experiences by providing a forum for researchers and engineers in academia and industry to compare and exchange new ideas, research results, experiences, and products about different aspects related to Ubiquitous and Mobile Internet. Topics of particular interest include, but are not limited to:
