SUMMARY:Connecting the Disconnected - Robin Kravets (University of Illinoi
 s)
DTSTART:20120702T150000Z

CONTACT:Eiko Yoneki
DESCRIPTION:Mobility\, in all of its forms\, results in networks with vary
 ing degrees of connectivity. Providing communication services in such netw
 orks relies on solutions that treat these disconnections as an expected pa
 rt of the system\, instead of as an exception to be handled out of band. H
 owever\, handling disconnectivity breaks most architectures for more stabl
 e and connected networks. Instead of a standard layered approach to commun
 ication services\, communication in such intermittently connected networks
  depends on three key components: contacts\, or knowing who we meet\, cont
 ext\, knowing what is in our neighborhood\, and content\, knowing how to f
 ind and deliver data.  In this talk\, I will present some of our current r
 esearch on support for communication in intermittently connected networks\
 , vehicular networks and mobile social networks\, as well as the target ap
 plications and deployment testbeds.\n \nBio: Robin Kravets is an Associate
  Professor at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the head 
 of the Mobius group at UIUC\, which researches communication issues in all
  types of networks that are challenged by mobility\, including wireless LA
 Ns\, ad hoc networks\, sensor network\, delay and disruption tolerant netw
 orks\, vehicular networks\, mobile social networks and personal area netwo
 rks. Her research focuses on solutions that enable effective power managem
 ent\, connectivity management\, data transport\, congestion management\, l
 ocation management\, routing and security. For more information\, visit ht
