----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The First IEEE International Workshop on Generation C Wireless Networks (GenCWiNets'08)

In conjunction with IEEE IPCCC December 7, 2008 Austin, Texas, USA

Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society

As we progress from Generation X to Generation Z, we are also advancing towards Generation C where "the community is connected through context-aware content". Wired networks and applications have already responded well to the needs of Generation C. Though wireless is already prevalent in the forms of WLAN, WPAN cellular etc, they are still seen as the last mile enabler for these wired applications. As advances in pervasive computing, wireless communication and sensor networks continue, real time information availability, ubiquitous connectivity and convergence can enable new applications that are context aware and provide valuable services to the community.

This workshop provides a forum for academia, industry, and government agencies to discuss the challenges involved in the design, deployment and operational issues of Generation C wireless networks. The workshop will identify and define new applications, fundamental issues and potential solutions. Contributions of all types including case studies and research, addressing the main focus or one of following non-exclusive list of topics are equally welcome:

* Connectivity and convergence of heterogonous networks (interoperability, handoff, QoS, policies, resource management, roaming, etc) * Smart environments (buildings, roads, vehicles, etc) * Location based services * Security, privacy, and performance trade-offs * Community based networks * Next generation networking applications (social, vehicular, healthcare, etc) * Context-aware networks, service management and adaptive protocols * Cognitive networks, protocols, and services * Mobility models and traffic patterns * Cross-layer designs and optimizations * Testbeds, benchmarks, prototypes and experimental studies
