ACM CoNEXT 2008 is a major forum for future networking technologies. Previous CoNEXT Conferences have successfully encouraged original, long-term studies and contributed to the integration of networking research on an international level. The 4th ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies (ACM CoNEXT 2008), will be hosted by the University Carlos III of Madrid. The conference will be a major forum for presentations and discussions of novel networking technologies, which are set to shape the future of Internetworking. We strive to open informative and stimulating debates between distinct international research communities. The conference is single-track and will feature a high-quality technical program, with significant opportunities for individual and small-group technical and social interactions. The main conference will also be preceded by three one-day workshops.

Many emerging scientific and industrial applications require transferring multiple terabytes of data on a daily basis. Examples include pushing scientific datasets from particle accelerators/colliders to laboratories around the world, synchronizing data centers in different continents, and replicating collections of high definition videos from Olympic Games, taking Location on a different time-zone. A convenient property of all above applications is their ability to tolerate delivery delays from a few hours to a few days. Such Delay-Tolerant Bulk (DTB) transfers are currently being serviced through the postal system using hard drives and DVDs, or through expensive dedicated networks.

We present a system-level framework to mitigate interference using coarse grained coordination of transmissions across base stations. Our approach is based on collecting and mining measured data capturing a user population's diversity in sensitivity to interference. The talk introduces the abstractions and optimization framework we have devised to enable this type of coordination. The talk is in two parts addressing what we deem to be key areas of inquiry.

Telefonica Open Research Day 2008 Research is the process of exploration of new ideas and allows Telefonica to look into the future, working on tomorrow's problems and finding solutions that people can only dream about today. As a result Telefonica is investing in bringing together incredibly passionate talented people with different view points (nationalities, disciplines, backgrounds) to follow their dreams, create new subjects and as a result new worlds for Telefonica's customers.
