Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems in Future Internet
(C O N W I R E 2010)
**************************************************************************** *******************************
1st IEEE International Workshop on Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems in Future Internet (CONWIRE 2010) will be held in conjunction with 19th International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN), Zurich, Switzerland, August 2-5, 2010
Future Internet envisions the synergy among heterogeneous wireless communications will co-exist providing the end user the "flexibility and choice", to improve his/her quality of life. The integration of heterogeneous networks in multi-access 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 Workshop 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 etc)
* IP-based Mobility Management
* Efficient Handover Algorithms and RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks
* Cross-Layer Schemes
* Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques
* Wireless network testbeds and applications
* QoE in wireless converged networks
Submission Procedure:
Submitted manuscripts must be formatted in standard IEEE camera-ready format (double-column, 10-pt font) and must be submitted via EDAS as PDF files (formatted for letter (8.5x11-inch) paper). The manuscripts should be no longer than 6 pages. Up to two additional pages are permitted if the authors are willing to pay an over-length charge at the time of publication (manuscripts may not exceed 8 pages). Submitted papers may not have been previously published in or be under consideration for publication in another journal or conference. The Program Committee reserves the right to not review papers that either exceed the length specification or have been submitted or published elsewhere. Submissions must include a title, abstract, keywords, author(s) and affiliation(s), and e-mail address(es).
Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a Special Issue Journal.
Important Dates:
Paper submission due: March 15, 2010 (Mon, 23:59 EST)
Author notification: April 30, 2010
Camera-ready due: May 14, 2010
Conference dates: 2-5 August 2010
