Call for Participation
1st IEEE International Workshop on Bandwidth on Demand (BoD 2006)
http://www.csg.unizh.ch/events/bod06/
In conjunction with IEEE GLOBECOM 2006
http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2006/
November 27, 2006
San Francisco, California, USA
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope
Electronic marketplaces for trading bandwidth have emerged since the
late 1990’s, but were seriously hit by the economic downturn in 2001.
The promise of instant bandwidth availability had led to the development
of market mechanisms that companies used to trade bandwidth just as
other commodities. However, those trading markets all but disappeared
with the bursting of the telecom bubble. Driven by the recent technical
advances in telecommunications and the new potentials of emerging
peer-to-peer (P2P) and next generation networks (NGN), the goal of this
workshop is to take a fresh and innovative look at the concept of
bandwidth on demand (BOD).
Recent advances in the Internet-based communications domain, in which
the support of Quality-of-Service and diverse application services
become possible, require in many cases short-termed bandwidth
assignments for, e.g., large sporting events or cultural open air
activities. In addition, the support of bandwidth trading in a fully
decentralized and secured manner, e.g., based on P2P schemes, shows
further advantages in terms of reliability and scalability for
large-scale systems.
