MAAP 2014 - International Workshop on Mobility Aware Architecture, Protocol, and Service for Future Internet

Efforts for mobility support have mostly focused on enabling seamless handovers of a mobile device for cellular networks and recently for the Internet. Signi cant achievements were made for the traditional mobility support but new network initiatives such as Cloud Computing, Internet of Things, and Information Centric Networking are emerging that all require mobility aware design and development for architecture, protocol, and service. Continued e orts for mobility support must progress so that such network initiatives are successfully arrived safe. For the 3GPP evolved packet core, developments of the distributed IP mobility aware architecture and protocol are urgent while network functions virtualization with mobility support is being considered as a cost e ective strategy for building the next generation cellular network integrated with the Internet. Communications of things also require mobility support as the things are moving devices themselves or devices attached to human beings. Mobility support is even one of core research issues in Information Centric Networking and yet small steps were made toward an envisioned content distribution architecture.
The purpose of this workshop is to bring together the academia and industry working on di erent aspects but related to mobility aware computing to highlight the state-of-art research on mobility support for Future Internet, exchange ideas, and explore new directions. Research results containing detailed descriptions of architecture and protocol operations for mobility support in Future Internet are highly welcome. The workshop will be a half-day workshop in conjunction with the third IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2014), Shanghai, China, 13{15 October, 2014.
