Workshop on Reliability and Security in Wireless Networks
September 22, 2009 Elche/Elx, Spain (in conjunction with DISC'09)
Keynote Speakers:
Jean-Pierre Hubaux (EPFL)
Bogdan Chlebus (U. of Colorado, Denver)
Nitin Vaidya (U. of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign)
Overview
The 21st century heralds the coming of the age of open airwaves. Over the last ten years, a plethora of new wireless applications have been developed and deployed to facilitate communication and to help people in their everyday lives. To a large extent, these applications rely on open airwaves, the unlicensed bands of spectrum, to accomplish their work.
However, the fact that the airwaves are open to all poses its own set of challenges that risk derailing the wireless revolution. The rapid growth of competing applications leads to a crowding of the airwaves, resulting in inadvertent interference among users. And the shared, open spectrum verily invites malcontents and attackers that may wish to disrupt applications and to corrupt data. Thus, the problems of reliability and security in wireless networks have become increasingly critical.
The workshop will consist of a sequence of talks on reliability and security in wireless networks, focusing on two goals: first, to disseminate cutting edge research on how to design robust wireless networks; and second, to develop new ideas on the future of wireless networking.
