Wireless sensor network and wireless multimedia network technologies combined with interactive 3D virtual visualization can converge into really interesting and functional applications such as detailed real-time monitoring of environments, emergency response and preparedness, distributed collaborative training, and remote walkthroughs, just to name a few examples. With the recent advances in wireless communication, and the proliferation of portable computer and micro-sensor devices, we are witnessing a growing interest in using wireless multimedia sensor networks and collaborative virtual environment technologies for safety and security class of applications.

El objetivo de estas jornadas es realizar una puesta en común sobre la importancia del soporte de las tecnologías de redes telemáticas en general, y de REDI Madrid en particular, para el desarrollo de una actividad de investigación puntera a nivel mundial. El soporte colaborativo de la actividad de grupos de investigación distribuidos, los entornos GRID, la supercomputación distribuida, las bases de datos científicas son ejemplos de aplicación en casi cualquier campo de investigación científica.

The international networking research community has begun to focus on ideas for a next generation Internet architecture. Before developing a next generation architecture, however, it seems appropriate to understand what exactly the problems are with the current Internet architecture. There seems to be widespread agreement that mobility and security are the primary problems stressing the current Internet, but exactly what the problems with mobility and security are, and in particular, whether the problems are architectural in nature, is under dispute. In this lecture series, we examined the mobility and security with the intention of understanding the current architecture and what might be done for a next generation architecture.

Vishal Misra together with Dan Rubinstein launched at the beginning of 2011 the company Silver Lining. This company is a very ambitious tech start-up arising from two professors of Columbia University, and has already attracted a lot of interest and a substantial amount of funding from investors. Silver Lining is developing a very advanced product in the area of content distribution networks that is expected to have high impact. Vishal Misra, co-founder and its current CEO, will give a first-hand account on the development of this interesting initiative.

La Feria Madrid por la Ciencia (The Forum for Science) is a key part of the Programa de Ciencia y Sociedad (Science and Society Program) that the Regional Government of Madrid launched in 2000, through the Dirección General de Universidades e Investigación (Directorate-General of Universities and Research). This Program seeks not only to promote dialogue between citizens and scientists, but also to increase the public’s participation in science.

Mext Interim Meeting 2007: Focusing on nemo global development

The conference will be conducted in English

El pasado 11 de Julio la Fundación IMDEA Networks celebró la reunión anual inaugural de su Consejo Científico en Madrid. La reunión marcó un punto importante en el establecimiento de la fundación de la investigación. Este prestigioso Consejo se compone de once investigadores de los más importantes del Mundo en la tecnología de redes.

El Consejo fue presentado a dignatarios, incluyendo representantes senior de la Comunidad de Madrid, quienes crearon y fundaron la iniciativa IMDEA. Tras aceptar formalmente sus cargos como Miembros del Consejo, estos eminentes expertos consideraron varios aspectos de la estrategia científica de la Fundación, lo que ayudará a orientar la dirección de investigación que se debería perseguir en los próximos años.

The dominant paradigm in both IETF and IEEE 802.1 standards for shortest path bridges is based on link-state routing in layer two. This results on hybrid devices of router and switch.

The objective of this course is to learn how to model cellular systems for the use in optimizing the design of this type of network. The course will consist of the following parts:

• A revision of basic queueing models
• Analysis of cellular systems with a single cell
• Channel reservation strategies possibility for the design of systems that optimize performance whilst minimizing the probability of interrupting current sessions
• Models and algorithms to support the different priorities of existing users
• Flow guarantees to different users through models of service differentiation
• Hierarchical cellular structures
