welcome message
On behalf of the WWIC committee members, we welcome you to the 14th International Conference on Wired & Wireless Internet Communications (WWIC 2016),
which is taking place in Thessaloniki, Greece, during May 25-27, 2016.
WWIC is a well-established conference in Internet communications, covering research topics such as the design and evaluation of network protocols, experiences
from the design and implementation of wireless systems, network modeling, wireless network security and management, mobile network services, and emerging
technologies such as software-defined radio and network function virtualization.
This year the conference received submissions from 20 countries in Europe, Asia,
North America, and North Africa on a wide range of Internet communication aspects. After a rigorous review process, the program committee selected 27 papers
out of 54 submissions, based on criteria such as relevance with the conference
scope, originality, timeliness, technical correctness, and presentation quality. The
conference program, which includes 8 technical sessions, reflects this high quality
level and topic diversity.
We would like to thank our keynote speakers Scott Burleigh (NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA), George Pavlou (University College London, UK), and Vassilis
Tsaoussidis (Democritus University of Thrace, Greece) for delivering excellent talks

Delay-Tolerant Information-Centric Networking
Research into the architecture eventually named “Delay-Tolerant Networking” (DTN) began in
1998 and was first reported in IEEE Communications Magazine in June of 2003. Work on the
concept of “Information-Centric Networking” (ICN) has arguably even deeper roots, as the
first Stanford technical report on Translating Relaying Internet Architecture integrating Active
Directories (TRIAD) was released in January of 2000. These two research initiatives have some
objectives in common, but the approaches taken to realize those objectives have historically
been dramatically different. In this talk we will examine the proposition that an alignment of
these divergent efforts might yield network structures that combine the strengths of both. An
early DTN development milestone – yet to be reached – that was virtually a detailed prescription
for ICN functionality will be reviewed. Prominent candidate ICN architectures will be briefly
surveyed and salient requirements for success in ICN will be abstracted from the features of
those architectures. Finally, a new candidate ICN architecture based on DTN, addressing those
requirements, will be discussed.

Information-Centric Networking Support for Mobile Multimedia Services: Overview, State
and Challenges
Information-Centric Networking (ICN), also referred to as content-centric, content-aware or data-oriented networking, is seen as an emerging paradigm that tries to re-focus communications,
centering on content access rather than on host-to-host interaction as is the case today. The
proliferation of user-generated content and the fact that the vast majority of interactions over
the Internet concern media content access has led researchers to think of new communication
models in which information/content comes on center stage and is accessed by name in a location-independent fashion; in addition, content chunks are cached in network routers, providing
localized access, reducing overall network load and avoiding flash-crowd situations. The resulting
communications paradigm is receiver-driven, with “time-phased” multicasting and access to content from in-network caches being the norm. ICN can gracefully support mobility and multicast,
being particularly suited for delivering mobile multimedia services in new environments such as
5G. This presentation will provide an overview of information-centric networking, it will present
the state-of-the-art in the relevant research activities and will consider the current trends and
challenges, focusing in particular on mobile multimedia content and relevant services.

Mobile Follow-Me Cloud - Integrating NFV, MEC, ICN & Mobility Prediction
Network Function Virtualization (NFV) has been an emerging concept to implement network
node functions on virtual machines in a virtualized environment. The Mobile Cloud Networking
EU project proposed an architecture consisting of micro-data centres to implement LTE network
functions close to the mobile end system and macro-data centres for less time-critical network
functions. In particular, we propose to use micro-data centres to support caching and storing
data at the edge of the network such that users experience low-delay access. This is also known
as Mobile Edge Computing (MEC). Performance can be improved by pro-actively migrating content to the expected cell that a user will visit. This should be supported by mobility prediction
as well as Information-Centric Networking. The integration of various techniques and methods
results in the so-called Mobile Follow-Me Cloud (M-FMC) approach. We will describe our developed M-FMC architecture and present performance evaluation results from prototype implementations and simulations.

Scott Burleigh - Brief Bio
Scott Burleigh is a Principal Engineer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology, where he has been developing flight mission software since 1986. In 1988-1989 Mr. Burleigh
developed one of the Laboratory’s earliest Internet-enabled systems, a data distribution server that
supported near-real-time analysis of science instrument data returned from the Voyager 2 encounter
with the planet Neptune. Later, in the mid-1990s, Mr. Burleigh co-authored the specification for the
Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) File Delivery Protocol (CFDP) and developed
the first implementation of CFDP, which was adapted for operational use on JPL’s Deep Impact comet
exploration mission. A member of the Delay-Tolerant Networking (DTN) Research Group of the Internet Research Task Force, Mr. Burleigh is a co-author of the DTN Architecture definition (Internet RFC
4838), the DTN Bundle Protocol (BP, Internet RFC 5050) and the Licklider Transmission Protocol (LTP, Internet RFCs 5325 through 5327). Mr. Burleigh leads the development and maintenance of implementations of BP and LTP that are designed for integration into deep space mission flight software, with the
long-term goal of enabling deployment of a delay-tolerant Solar System Internet. The initial exercise of
these protocol implementations on an operational spacecraft occurred during the Deep Impact Network (DINET) experiment conducted in interplanetary space during October and November of 2008.
Mr. Burleigh has received the NASA Exceptional Engineering Achievement Medal and four NASA Space
Act Board Awards for his work on the design and implementation of these communication protocols.
