Institute IMDEA Networks annually holds a by-invitation-only thematic workshop in Madrid. The workshop accompanies a meeting of our Scientific Council comprised by prominent researchers. In addition to talks by Scientific Council members, the workshop includes invited talks by external experts in the research theme of the workshop. The goal of the 2012 workshop is to foster discussion on a critical aspect of research in networking: data.

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.

The 2011 workshop theme is Internet science with a focus on social networking.

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).

El simposio internacional de computación distribuida (International Symposium on DIStributed Computing - DISC) es un foro internacional sobre la teoría, el diseño, el análisis, la implementación y la aplicación de sistemas y redes distribuidas. Está organizado en cooperación con la Asociación Europea de Informática Teórica (EATCS - European Association for Theoretical Computer Science). Este congreso, en colaboración con el simposio de ACM sobre principios de computación distribuida (PODC-ACM Symposium on Principles of Distributed Computing), otorga anualmente el prestigioso galardón Edsger W. Dijkstra Prize in Distributed Computing y el premio a la mejor disertación en computación distribuida (The Dissertation Award in Distributed Computing).

Traditionally, the vehicle has been the extension of the man’s ambulatory system, docile to the driver’s commands. Recent advances in communications, controls and embedded systems have changed this model, paving the way to the Intelligent Vehicle Grid.

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. 

Radio-frequency based wireless communications have revolutionized our society. Thanks to important wireless communication technologies such as Wi-Fi, LTE, and so on, people can enjoy high data rate and pervasive connections while surfing the Internet. 

With peta-bytes of data that are continuously collected about various aspects of the Internet, how hard can it be to obtain an accurate picture of its traffic, its physical topology (i.e., router-level Internet), its logical overlays (e.g., the Web, online social networks), or its “dark” sides and associated activities (i.e. cyber crimes)?
