CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Next generation mobile networks will be based on Internet core networks and wireless access networks. The need for efficient merging of the wired and wireless infrastructure as well as the new multimedia services and applications of next generation networks call for novel network architectures, protocols and traffic-related mechanisms. WWIC addresses research topics such as the design and evaluation of protocols, the dynamics of the integration, the performance tradeoffs, the need for new performance metrics, and cross-layer interactions.

The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context, the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. WWIC is a single-track conference which has reached, within 10 years, the highest level of quality, which is reflected both in the level of participation as well as the acceptance ratio and the amount and quality of submitted papers.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) Series.

The WWIC 2013 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - one of the most fascinating cities in the world. Russian "Northern Capital" - famous "Venice of the North" - is filled with cultural, historical and architectural treasures: plenty of theaters, museums and art galleries, gorgeous palaces of Russian emperors, magnificent bridges opened across the Neva river and the beauty of famous White Nights.
