=========================================================== CALL FOR PAPERS

The 4th ACM Workshop on Quality of Service and Security in Wireless Mobile Networks (Q2SWinet)

http://home.dei.polimi.it/cesana/ACM/Q2SWinet2008bis.htm

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 27-31 October 2008 (in conjunction with ACM MSWIM 2008) ===========================================================

================== SCOPE AND OVERVIEW ==================

Q2SWinet 2008 is the 4th Annual International Workshop on QoS and Security for Wireless and Mobile Networks. Q2SWinet will be a one-day workshop held in conjunction with the 11-th Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM 2008). The workshop will bring together networking

researchers, engineers, and practitioners with participants from industry, academia, and government institutions.

In recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become increasingly popular as inexpensive and promising architectures for ubiquitous communications. In this scenario, the provisioning of the required Quality of Service (QoS) to end users, as well as the management of network Security have become crucial tasks to determine the success of future generation wireless and mobile networking paradigms. This workshop calls for cutting-edge research achievements on the provisioning of QoS and Security in wireless and mobile networks.

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new theoretical and/or practical research results in the field of Quality of Service (QoS) support and Security management in mobile and wireless systems. Submitted papers must not have been published elsewhere, nor currently under review in other conferences or journals.
