Each year, the event welcomes roughly fifty participants for three days of exchange over their latest research.\u00a0<\/p><p>The focus of the conference, wireless on-demand network systems, began as a niche application that was mainly used over Wi-Fi. Over the past fifteen years, this particular type of network connectivity has grown to become a cornerstone of Bluetooth, LTE Direct, Internet of things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, and much more. SnT\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/wwwfr.uni.lu\/snt\/people\/raphael_frank\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Prof. Dr Rapha\u00ebl Frank<\/a>\u00a0is the General Chair of the<a href=\"http:\/\/2021.wons-conference.org\/\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a02021 WONS Conference<\/a>, which took place on 9-11th March. We spoke to him about the community and the researchers who publish there.<\/p><p><strong>First things first, what are \u201cWireless On-Demand Network Systems and Services\u201d?<\/strong><\/p><p>Frank: The concept is pretty straightforward. The key feature of this type of network is that it isn\u2019t permanently connected. It is a network that only operates when a device requests a connection. If you used a wireless Bluetooth device today \u2014 maybe headphones or a mouse \u2014 then you activated a very simple wireless on-demand network. Today, hot topics in this research field include 5G, visible light communications, and vehicular communications to name just a few.<\/p><p><strong>These networks must be absolutely everywhere then.<\/strong><\/p><p>Well, they are certainly becoming a lot more common. They used to be a somewhat unusual set-up that was only useful in specific situations. They have always been important for direct communication between mobile devices. As the number of mobile and connected devices has increased, these networks are becoming more and more common. Personally, I find their application in automated driving most interesting. In a self-driving car, you depend on timely and reliable data from other cars \u2014 from your neighbors on the road. Being able to establish and operate these vehicular networks reliably is critical to the future of automated transportation. \u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Is that how you first came to the WONS conference? Through your interest in connected driving?<\/strong><\/p><p>Well, sort of. I was introduced to the conference by one of my PhD thesis advisors, <a href=\"https:\/\/samueli.ucla.edu\/in-memoriam-computer-science-professor-and-former-department-chair-mario-gerla-ms-70-phd-73\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Mario Gerla<\/a> at UCLA. We were looking at vehicular networks at the time. So, not self-driving cars, but cars that were a lot more connected and \u201csmart\u201d than the vehicles on the road at the time [2009]. Actually, one of my most cited papers was originally published at the WONS conference, and it is about vehicular networks. But it would be more correct to say that it was Mario who brought me to WONS, and WONS that led me towards connected and automated driving.<\/p><p><\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/mario_gerla_by_carla_richmond_coffing.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/mario_gerla_by_carla_richmond_coffing-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/mario_gerla_by_carla_richmond_coffing-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/13\/2023\/07\/mario_gerla_by_carla_richmond_coffing.jpg 480w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 16\/9; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>            <p class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image-caption\">\n            Prof. Dr Mario Gerla &#8211; photo credit: Carla Richmond Coffing        <\/p>\n    <\/figure><p><\/p><p><strong>Can you tell us a bit more about Prof. Gerla and his work? I understand that he was the original founder of the WONS conference and that he passed away in 2019.<\/strong><\/p><p>Yes. Prof. Dr Gerla \u2014 Mario \u2014 co-initiated the WONS conference in 2004. He was born in Italy and earned his Master\u2019s degree in Milan, but emigrated to the States in the 60s. He had a stellar career, and ultimately became the chair of the Computer Science Department at UCLA. Mario really created a community around him, and WONS was just one expression of that. He was an avid traveller \u2014 very proud of the fact he had been to all seven continents \u2014 and a tri-athlete too! For him, WONS was an opportunity to bring together a lot of these important aspects of his life: his research, his European and American colleagues, and his deep love of the outdoors. He made a point of organising the conference every year somewhere where we could spend time with each other outside of the venue, too. As a result, our community grew very tight-knit. We understood the sorts of questions we each wanted to answer, and it fostered a lot of really wonderful research collaborations.<\/p><p><strong>I\u2019m very sorry for your loss. The community must feel his absence deeply.<\/strong><\/p><p>Thank you. We do. The year Mario died, WONS actually didn\u2019t take place. Many of us, however, were together that year at Mario\u2019s memorial at UCLA in California. We all wanted to make sure the conference continued to happen. Mario\u2019s work was too important to our community for it to just end. I\u2019m very glad that we can all honour his memory by keeping the community alive through his conference.<\/p><p><strong>But 2020 was quite a year to have to organize your first conference! How has the Coronavirus crisis impacted everything?<\/strong><\/p><p>When I first agreed to be the General Chair, it was December 2019 \u2014 weeks before the crisis hit Europe. At that time, we all thought things would be back to normal by the time the conference rolled around in March 2021. So in the beginning, I kept planning for the conference to take place in Switzerland. We did, of course, ultimately have to pivot to a virtual conference, and I was nervous about the change because WONS is really about the community. But we got a lot of submissions, and we even had more participants than usual!<\/p><p><strong>How does a virtual conference work?<\/strong><\/p><p>We used Zoom for presentations, keynotes, talks, breakout groups, those sorts of things. To encourage discussions, we also used GatherTown, a virtual environment that looks like an old-school video game. Each participant had a little pixelated avatar they could control with their keyboard \u2014 and when they \u201cwalked up\u201d to someone else\u2019s avatar, a video connection opened. They could just walk up to a group and join the conversation, just like they would over coffee between sessions. It helped foster some of that community feeling we\u2019ve all gotten accustomed to. We even \u201cdecorated\u201d the virtual environment to make it look like the ski region in Switzerland where we originally wanted to meet.<\/p><p><strong>Are there any upsides to the virtual conference?<\/strong><\/p><p>Oh, absolutely. It was a lot easier for PhD students to participate \u2014 they didn\u2019t need to have a travel budget to attend. In fact, PhD students didn\u2019t need to pay any fee at all to attend our virtual conference. That\u2019s brought a lot more diverse, young minds to our group this year. I\u2019m excited to see what this fresh group will bring to the event! It will be rewarding to bring a new generation into the community Mario left us.<\/p><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The IEEE Wireless On-demand Network Systems and Services (WONS) conference has been the home of a small community of wireless connectivity researchers for the past 17 years.
