EDCC 2015 - International Workshop on Emerging Device Centric Communications in 5G

2G to 4G systems are based on network centric approach, but 5G will drop this assumption and move towards Device Centric Systems (DCS). The main drivers of Device Centric Systems are Internet of Things (IoT) and BigData applications, which will exploit the intelligence at the device side to support device to device (D2D) connectivity. This workshop, inspired by the recent advances in IoT and BigData towards 5G research initiative, envisions contributions including different aspects ranging from radio protocols to energy efficient networking topologies, and lightweight security.
