International Workshop on Internet Applications

News

  • The program is now available!

Broadband availability (fixed and mobile) is growing rapidly across the world, and infrastructure operators (e.g. Telecoms) and application developers (e.g. Web 2.0 companies) are experimenting with a range of applications and services to deploy on this new infrastructure. Rapid innovation in peer-to-peer content delivery, social networks and web-based communities, web 2.0 technologies such as application mash-ups, as well as content delivery networks, delay-tolerant networks, vehicular network applications, and location-based services are unleashing an unprecedented set of opportunities and challenges for business innovation, community-driven projects, and academic research. The overall benefit of these emerging services is thought to be significantly more than their individual parts, but the realized gain will depend on how services are composed and delivered. In particular scalability (distributed vs. centralized), interoperability (3rd party APIs), robustness (tolerance to underlying hardware/network failure, intermittent connectivity) and security (authentication, privacy, and non-repudiation) are some of the important quality and usability features that will determine the success of new Internet applications.

Through this workshop we seek to attract academic and industrial research papers addressing some of the challenges of the New Internet Applications listed above. The focus is on the interdisciplinary nature of the new Internet and the workshop, as part of the Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Applications (IMSAA 2009) conference, seeks to provide a common forum for academics and practitioners in Internet applications. A keynote speaker from a top university or industry will also be part of the final workshop program (to be announced on the workshop website)

Topics for the workshop include, but are not limited to:
  • Peer-to-peer
  • Social networks
  • Web X.0
  • Web-based communities
  • Application mash-ups
  • Content syndication and distribution networks (Application layer, e.g. Akamai)
  • Location-based services
  • Delay-tolerant network appications
  • Vehicular network applications
