W-MUST aims to bring together researchers and practitioners in the networking and HCI communities to share new ideas and experiences addressing the challenges of measuring networked applications on end-user platforms for purposes related to performance, privacy, security, diagnosis, and troubleshooting. We are particularly interested in gathering context related to user activity or reflecting measurement-derived information to users. Work that solely considers network-level traces is out of scope. This workshop encourages work toward understanding how to gather the user view and correlate it with lower-level measurements. - Topics We solicit short papers describing positions and work-in-progress that will generate lively discussion. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: • Incentivizing and providing feedback to users. • Techniques for gathering individual user perspectives during measurement. • Sampling users in the face of unpredictability. • Data collection techniques that respect personalised user privacy. • Correlating user experience with low level measurements. • Disambiguating intentional from unintentional network activity. • Disambiguating user-generated from non-user generated activity. • Combining user, application, and network measurements on smartphone platforms. • Exposing hidden activities, on the network and in the cloud, to users. • Understanding tradeoffs in host data collection between performance impact and data quality. • Annotating measurement of peoples' use of networked applications with context. • Optimising network and system resources via context-aware user profiles. • Quantifying user experience with both network-centric and user-centric metrics. • Integration of formal and informal user-centric methodologies into measurement. - Submission Instructions Submissions must be as PDF files no longer than 6 pages in length. They must include the authors' names and affiliations for single-blind peer reviewing by the program committee. Submissions must follow theSIGCOMM formatting guidelines. Authors of accepted papers are expected to present their papers at the workshop. Submissions must be original work not under review at any other workshop, conference, or journal. Detailed instructions how to submit your paper will be posted here soon. - Important Dates Abstract registration due March 30, 2012 Submissions due April 6, 2012 Notification of acceptance May 16, 2012 Workshop date August 17, 2012 - Program Committee • Marshini Chetty (Georgia Tech, co-chair) • Richard Mortier (University of Nottingham, co-chair) • Suman Banerjee (University of Wisconsin) • AJ Brush (Microsoft Research Redmond) • Fabian Bustamante (Northwestern University) • Sean Goggins (Drexel University) • Tristan Henderson (University of St. Andrews) • Thomas Karagiannis (Microsoft Research Cambridge) • Janne Lindqvist (Rutgers University) • Nina Taft (Technicolor) • Renata Texeira (CNRS) - Thanks to SIGCOMM2012 supporters (in alphabetical order): AT&T Labs Research, Aalto University , Bell Labs Alcatel-Lucent, Comcast, Cisco, HP, Internet Society, Microsoft Research, NetApp, Nokia, OY L M ERICSSON AB, Telefónica Investigación y Desarrollo S.A.

With growing demand of software downloading and mobile multimedia services, the quality of service (QoS) provisioning and the management of network security have been critical in determining the success of future generation wireless communications. This special issue calls for cutting-edge research achievements on the provisioning of QoS and security in wireless and mobile networks. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to theory or practice of all aspects of security issues in ad hoc and sensor networks and QoS provisioning. The topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Security in Wireless MANETs, VANETs, Sensor, Mesh and PCS Networks Secure PHY, MAC and Routing Protocols Secure Cooperation-Based Systems and Services Security in Cognitive Radio Networks Intrusion Detection in Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks Privacy, anonymity and authentication Trust Establishment Cooperation and Prevention of Non-cooperative Behaviours Incentive Aware Secure Protocol Design QoS for Wireless Multimedia Networks and Systems QoS for Wireless/Wired Hybrid Systems QoS support and Mobility Management in Wireless Internet QoS-Aware Routing for Wireless Networks QoS Metrics Wireless Network Survivability Wireless Systems Reliability Field operating tests, Performance Modelling and Simulation Techniques Real-time and QoS-aware Wireless Networks Submitted papers should not be under consideration elsewhere for publication and the authors must follow the guidelines for preparation of the manuscripts. The language of the journal is English. 12-point type in one of the standard fonts, i.e., Times, Helvetica, or Courier, is preferred. The paper length should not exceed 20 pages in total, including all figures and illustrations. It is not necessary for authors to use double-line spacing in their manuscript. Tables and figures must be on separate pages after the reference list, and not be incorporated into the main text. Figures should be uploaded as separate figure files. For manuscript submission authors should follow the guidelines described in the section ‘‘For Authors’’ at http://www.interscience.wiley.com/security. Prospective authors should submit their paper online at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/scn.

The integration of heterogeneous networks in multiaccess and multi-operator environment is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be “Always Best Connected” (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Topics of interest: The proposed Special Issue will report the results of latest research efforts on convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to: - Wireless Network Architectures - Middleware for Wireless Converged Networks. - Wireless Convergence in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI) - IP-based Mobility Management - Efficient Handover Algorithms & RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks - Cross-Layer Schemes - Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation & optimization techniques - Wireless network testbeds and applications - QoE in wireless converged networks Submission Procedure: Authors should follow the Wireless Personal Communications Journal manuscript format described bellow at the journal site: http://www.editorialmanager.com/wire Important Dates: Paper submission due: February 15, 2012 (extended, firm deadline) Author notification: April 30, 2012 Camera-ready due: End of 2012 Guest Editors: Dr. Periklis Chatzimisios, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece Prof. Tasos Dagiuklas, TEI of Mesolonghi, Greece Prof. Edmundo Monteiro, University of Coimbra, Portugal Prof. Andreas J.
