耄 T5:㺈 㺈Connect All Your Electronic Devices with Personal Networks㺈㺈
Presenters:㺈㺈 Dr. Martin Jacobsson and Prof. IGMM Niemegeers, TU Delft㺈
Abstract:
Today 5 billion devices are connected to the Internet and this is likely to double within 2 years. When the number of connected personal devices increases, we will need software systems for exploiting the potential of networking these devices and managing them. Tasks, such as networking and security, must be handled automatically for this trend to be
sustainable. This tutorial will be about Personal Networks (PNs), which is such a software system. We will demonstrate what PNs are and how they are composed. Areas such as networking, mobility, security, auto-configuration, context-awareness, service discovery, and how they can fit together in one coherent simple, security, and self-configured network for normal end-users. As part of the tutorial, we will give the participants the chance to try out PN technology on their own.㺈㺈
