Workshop on Wireless Networking, Automated Information Processing, and Web & Grid Services
Workshop Chair: Domingo Rodriguez
The workshop will be hold on 4th Feb 2007 and is free to all registered participants of ISWPC 2007.
SCOPE
This workshop intends to serve as a forum for the exchange of new
ideas, concepts, and results associated with three specific areas
showing a degree of convergence: Wireless Networking (WN), Grid and Web
Services (GWS), and Automated Information Processing (AIP). AIP is
serving as a bridge between WN and GWS and in this context is bringing
out new exciting and challenging issues. The workshop is addressing
issues along the following lines through a set of thought-provoking
questions:
Grid and Web Services
- Grid Computing: a new technology or a cheaper alternative?
- What are the financial and technological benefits of grid computing versus cluster computing?
- What markets stand to benefit the most from grid computing?
- Does wireless access to computing grids open up new application/ service markets? Which ones?
- Do projected trends for future data processing needs align favorably with the capabilities of computing grids?
Wireless Networking
- How wireless sensor networks (WSN) integrate with wireless networking in general?
- How can WSNs characterize smart environments in our automated society?
- How to manage uncertainty due inhabitants’ contexts in smart environments?
- What significant automated information processing issues need to be addressed for context-aware resource management in smart environments?
- Beyond mere wireless access to grids: are there any wireless-specific services or applications that may benefit from grid computing?
Automated Information Processing
- What information processing applications are good and poor matches for grids?
- What is automated in automated information processing?
- How to integrate syntactic and semantic issues in automated information processing?
- How AIP is serving as a bridge between grid and web services and wireless networking?
- What role plays signal processing in automated information processing and smart environments?
