3rd IEEE International Workshop on Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems (CON-WIRE 2013) (http://conwire.it.teithe.gr)

June 4-7, 2013, Madrid, Spain

organized in association with the 14th IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks (WoWMoM 2013)

Overview 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 optimized and maintained.

Topics CONWIRE 2013 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 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/QoS in wireless converged networks

Contribution format The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (6) printed pages (10-point font) including figures.

Paper submission can be found in: http://edas.info/N13165

Proceedings All accepted papers will be available in IEEEXlore and a Special Issue will be organized for best papers.

Schedule * Full Paper Submission (firm deadline): March 17, 2013 (extended) * Notification of Acceptance: April 12, 2013 * Camera-ready version: April 21, 2013

Workshop co-Chairs Periklis Chatzimisios, Alexander TEI of Thessaloniki, Greece Tasos Dagiuklas, TEI of Mesolonghi, Greece Jonathan Rodriguez, Instituto de Telecomunicacoes, Portugal Joerg Widmer, Institute IMDEA Networks, Spain
