*"Seamless Consumer Connectivity"*
IEEE Consumer Communications and Networking Conference, sponsored by IEEE Communications Society, is a major annual international conference organized with the objective of bringing together researchers, developers, and practitioners from academia and industry working in all areas of consumer communications and networking. CCNC 2007 will present the latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of consumer networking, multimedia networking, enabling technologies, and novel applications and services. The conference will include a peer-reviewed program of technical sessions, special sessions, business application sessions, tutorials, workshops, and demonstration sessions.
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal. Authors should submit a five-page technical paper manuscript (or a two-page demonstration summary) in double-column IEEE format including authors' names and affiliations, and a short abstract through EDAS (http://edas.info/ ), following the submission guidelines available on the CCNC2007 website. Only electronic submission will be accepted. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
*Wireless Networking *
