Workshop Goals

• Disruption Tolerant Networks
• what is DTN?
• where is DTN going?
• can we establish critical mass to make a
  difference? how?
• a convergence layer to exchange protocols?
• Bridge the dichotomy between wired and wireless
  architectures
• Identify elements to be accommodated in any
  architecture for aspects of routing, topology,
  naming and addressing, security, network
  management, content management
• Ensure the GENI testing platform does not create
  this dichotomy -- how?
• Raise awareness in overall networking community
• Discuss these issues at a general FIND meeting

Extreme WirelessingNadia Shalaby

• Vision
• wireless seamlessly extends core connectivity to
  enable
• energy efficient radios and networks
• content-aware location-aware networks
• fault tolerance during disruption
• scalability (geographic span clustering
  density)
• adaptability to dynamic spectra wave forms
• cognition on radio and ad hoc network level
• self-organizing radio networks
• flexible layering, configurability on the fly
• affordable -- under 100 radios
