CALL FOR PAPERS

WWIC 2011 9th International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet Communications

http://www.craax.upc.edu/WWIC11

sponsored by IFIP

June 15-17, 2011 Vilanova i la Geltrú, Barcelona, Spain

------------------------------------------------------------------------

**** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: JANUARY 30, 2011 (Extended deadline) *******

------------------------------------------------------------------------

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, merging and assembling different network technologies features. 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 8 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. Extended versions of conference selected papers will be considered for publication in an special issue of an international journal.

Following the conference tradition there will also be a Best Paper Award.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- AAA in mobile environments - Ambient networks - Ad-hoc mobile networks - Blended network configurations - Beyond 3G networks technologies - Cross layer interactions - Economical issues of wireless networks -End-to-end Quality of Service support - Handover techniques - Heterogeneous wireless access networks - Hybrid wired / wireless environments - Interaction wireless/optical networks - Integration of wired and wireless networks - Mobile service level agreements/spec. - Mobility management - Network design and network planning - Network mobility - Network coding in mobile networks - Network security in mobile environments - Performance evaluation of wireless systems - Pricing, charging and accounting in wireless net. - QoS routing in mobile networks - QoS signalling in mobile environments - Resource management and admission control - Service creation and management for wireless - Simulation for next generation mobile networks - Traffic characterization and modeling - Traffic engineering - Transport protocols and congestion control - Wireless mesh networks - Wireless multi-hop networks - Wireless multimedia systems - Wireless network monitoring - Wireless sensor networks - Optical/Wireless integration - Space internetworking - Delay/disruptive tolerant networking - Vehicular networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://www.craax.upc.edu/WWIC11

******************* Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the conference and present the paper. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) Series. *******************
