Opinnot > T-110.5190 > 2007 > topics.html

During spring 2007 the seminar on Internetworking will focus on networking technologies for the home environment.

One major wireless trend that is currently under way is the deployment of wireless local area networks in the enterprises, in public places and at homes. Until quite recently, home networks were primarily the realm of technophiles only - most families either didn't need or couldn't afford more than one computer. But things are rapidly changing. More and more homes have multiple computers and are building connectivity between their devices and to the Internet. In the future households, new type of devices will enter and leave the home network, which will become a necessity rather than a technical toy. To understand the ingredients of home network, the key IP technologies, wireless link technologies, and schemes to manage the security and privacy of home networks all need to be considered. Also, the emerging business models and possible new players in the new markets need to be identified. In the home environment, the user aspects and what end users are looking for in their future homes is of crucial importance, and the management of a home network should be made as easy as possible. In this seminar we will address home networking with a wide range of topic areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following.

• MAC layer security for wireless networking
• Firewall/NAT traversal
• Technologies for communication between multiple homes
• Reachability and secure connectivity
• Peer-to-peer systems
• Applications and services
• Mobility and service discovery
• Content distribution between homes
• Content-sharing architectures
• Security and privacy
• User interfaces for the home
• User experience
• Social aspects of home networking
• Emerging business models
