2nd IMDEA Networks Annual International Workshop: Energy Efficiency and Networking

IMDEA Networks is organizing its 2nd Annual International Workshop, this year focusing on Energy Efficiency and Networking on 31st May - 1st June, 2010 in Madrid, Spain. The workshop will include presentations and a panel dealing with the latest advances and challenges facing the field. Energy efficiency is becoming one of the most important issues of our time. Population growth and exhaustion of available energy sources makes clever use of energy one of the main challenges for our society. The objective of this workshop is to explore the role of networking in the general effort towards sustainable use of energy.

Training Course: 'Detection, Prediction & Monitoring on Online Social Networks: leaders, trends and outliers'

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.

Steering with Eyes Closed: Millimeter Wave Beam Steering without In-Band Measurement

Spectrum scarcity and ever increasing densities of wireless network deployments have recently led to an opening of the 60 GHz millimeter-wave bands for unlicensed communication. In contrast to the previously used ISM bands below 5 GHz, a massive amount of 6-9 GHz of bandwidth is available at these frequencies. Usage of these resources is considered for wireless LAN and 5G cellular networks and with the ratification of the IEEE 802.11ad standard in December 2012, wireless LAN is about to bring millimeter-wave communication to the commercial market.

Route Bazaar: Automatic Interdomain Contract Negotiation

While some see in Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) a routing ambrosia to be enshrined, others perceive a basis of serious Internet connectivity limitations. Because the interdomain routing protocol realizes contracts between Autonomous Systems (ASes), this paper argues that contractual and routing issues need to be tackled jointly to overcome the connectivity limitations. We propose Route Bazaar, a backward-compatible system for flexible Internet connectivity. Inspired by the decentralized construction of trust in cryptocurrencies, Route Bazaar uses a decentralized public ledger and cryptography to provide ASes with automatic means to form, establish, and verify end-to-end connectivity agreements.

Towards Preventive Safety Systems for Cars: The Impact of Driving Habits in Accident Prediction

The impact of car accidents in human lives calls for a profound understanding of accident risk. However, the unpredictability of accidents and the unfeasibility of their reproduction make it difficult to identify the causes and patterns underlying individual accidents.
