Title: Innovation in Spectrum Policy and Technology: What will drive it, and what will block it?

Abstract: The predominant approach to managing spectrum for the last eighty years is becoming less and less able to meet today’s wireless communications needs and desires. We need rapid innovation in both wireless technology and spectrum policy, and spectrum sharing will be critical. In recent years, U.S. policymakers have begun a series of bold initiatives to address this need. This has brought new challenges and opportunities to the research community, which must find innovative new ways to use spectrum more efficiently. In addition, we must overcome the difficulties of moving innovative spectrum-sharing ideas from theoretical discussion to actual deployment.

Prof. Mario Gerla. Biography

Abstract: Mobile Cloud Computing is an emerging field of research that aims to study mobile agents (people, vehicles, robots) as they interact and collaborate to sense the environment, process the data, propagate the results and more generally share storage, processing and spectrum resources. Mobile agents collectively operate as Mobile Clouds offering location aware services such as environment modeling, content discovery, data collection and other applications in a more efficient than using the conventional Internet Cloud alone. In this talk we focus on Vehicles. We review Vehicle Cloud applications ranging from urban sensing to surveillance and intelligent transport. We also address the cooperation between Vehicular Clouds and the Internet Cloud in the context of a vehicular traffic management application.
