Everyone is familiar with the problem of online scheduling, even if they are not aware of it; from the way we prioritize our everyday decisions to the way a delivery service must decide on the route to follow in order to cover the ongoing requests. In computer science this is a problem of even greater importance.

Ponentes del máximo nivel presentarán en esta jornada la futura tecnología de comunicaciones 5G, y los retos y oportunidades que 5G supondrá para múltiples sectores relevantes de la actividad económica. Las grandes empresas a nivel mundial ya se están posicionando para paliar las amenazas, y aprovechar las oportunidades, que 5G provocará a medio plazo.

The Internet routing ecosystem is facing substantial scalability challenges due to continuous, significant growth of the state represented in the data plane.

With rapid development of networks and their proliferated applications, energy consumption of the networks has been a major concern for both network design, management, and applications. Routing protocols and algorithms have important effect on network energy consumption.

The lack of predictive power over complex systems either designed by humans or evolved by nature, is a foundational problem in contemporary science. Real networks such as the Internet, the Web, social and biological networks, have acquired emergent large-scale properties that are beyond our full understanding, much less prediction or control. Astonishingly, these emergent properties are the same across networks from drastically different domains, and are the ones required to facilitate the optimality of some important network functions, such as information transport.

Social scientist have traditionally had limited access to data about individuals, like their personality, relationships or tastes. The widespread use of Online Social Networks (OSNs) has changed this drastically, since OSNs provide huge amounts of data to work with. 

This is a Branded event organized for NOTRE project in collaboration with DataBeers. Following the DataBeers format, the event will feature six presentations focused on data usage in a social context and/or social sciences. 

The increasing capabilities of mobile communication devices are changing the way people interconnect today. Similarly, almost ubiquitous connectivity is leading to the expectation that data and media are available everywhere and anytime. 

One of the most promising options to significantly increase data rates in future wireless networks is to vastly increase the communication bandwidth. Such very high bandwidth channels are only available in the extremely high frequency part of the radio spectrum, the millimeter wave band (mm-wave).

The Internet depends on economic relationships between ASes (Autonomous Systems), which come in different shapes and sizes – transit, content, and access networks. CDNs (Content delivery networks) are also a pivotal part of the Internet ecosystem and construct their overlays for faster content delivery.
