Keynote Talk I
IMS Services and Their Extensions to Ad-Hoc Systems,
by Jason Lin
IP Multimedia Core Network Subsystem (IMS) integrates
mobile telecommunications with Internet. As IMS evolves, more new call control
features are supported to accommodate the advantages of Internet. On the other
hand, IMS extension to ad-hoc applications is seldom mentioned in the
literature. In August 2009, Typhoon Morakot seriously damaged the mobile base
stations in south Taiwan, and IMS infrastructure mode did not work. We learned a
painful way that ad-hoc mode for IMS is urgently needed in such events. This
talk investigates three IMS call applications relate to telecommunications
needed in a nature disaster: emergency call, Push-to-talk over Cellular (PoC),
and Voice Call Continuity (VCC). We describe the performance issues of these IMS
applications in infrastructure mode, and then discuss the research issues for
extending them to ad-hoc systems.

Keynote Talk II
From Wireless Networking to Smart Computing:
Challenges and Solutions, Sajal K. Das
The last decade has seen tremendous advancements in
computer science and engineering such as wireless networks, mobile and pervasive
computing, information mining, ambient intelligence, human-centered computing,
middleware, and so on. These technologies have made the world closer and our
life experience better than ever as we live in an increasingly connected and
automated society that links devices, computing and communication platforms to
everyday tasks and settings. As a result, recently there has been an upsurge of
multi-disciplinary research projects on the design and development of smart
environments. We define a "smart environment" as one that is able to
autonomously acquire and apply knowledge about a sensor-driven environment, and
adapt to user preferences to improve their experience without explicit
awareness.
In this talk, we will first give a brief overview of emerging research directions in wireless mobile, sensor and pervasive networks, and then discuss fundamental challenges and issues in design and modeling of smart environments. We will also present novel frameworks and algorithmic solutions for tracking user contexts (e.g., activity, location) as captured by sensors while users interact with the environment on a daily basis, thus leading to intelligence automation, autonomic and context-aware computing. The underlying approach will be based on information theory, text compression, on-line learning, uncertainty reasoning, and game theory. The proposed models will be validated with the help of an agent based architecture and tools that we developed. A video demo will also be shown. The talk will be concluded with open research problems and future directions in this field.
