C A L L F O R P A P E R S ============================= 1st IEEE International Workshop on Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems (CON-WIRE 2010) (http://conwire.it.teithe.gr)

August 2-5, 2010 ETH Zurich, Switzerland

organized in association with the 19th IEEE International Conference on Computer Communications and Networks (ICCCN 2010) (http://icccn.org/icccn10)

Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and US National Science Foundation (NSF)

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.

CON-WIRE will collect latest research ideas and issues on the 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 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

Important Dates: Paper submission due: 4 April 2010 (Sun, 23:59 EST) (firm deadline) Author notification: 30 April 2010 Camera-ready due: 14 May 2010 Conference dates: 2-5 August 2010

Paper submission 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 Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ICCCN 2010 Proceedings, will be available on IEEE Xplore (http://ieeexplore.ieee.org) and will be professionally indexed by the IEEE Computer Society's Conference Publishing Service.
