* Scope and Motivation*

The ever increasing market penetration of smart-phones, tablets, and netbooks, along with the ubiquitous availability of wireless networks are deeply influencing the way people live, work, interact, and socialize. However, the broad popularity and diffusion of innovative services and applications tailored at mobile users is also raising challenging research issues that require us to rethink available mobile technology solutions to meet the emerging needs of a broader and ever growing user base.

The goal of iCOST'2012 is to bring together researchers and scientists to present and discuss advances on selected topics in Mobile & Wireless Networking. The conference aims to address recent research results and to present their methodologies, models, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences.

**Topics of Interest**

The iCOST'2012 technical program will deliver high quality technical papers that will be reviewed and selected by an international program committee. Suggested topics include but are not restricted to: * Cloud computing support for mobile services and applications * Data center architectures and protocols * Green communications models, architectures, and networking solutions * Self-* networks, services and applications * Content distribution networks * Social networking solutions for pervasive and mobile environments * Vehicular communications and vehicular ad-hoc networks * Wireless-enabled Peer to Peer services and applications * Internet of Things * Machine type communications * Context-aware middleware design, services and applications * Long Term Evolution Engineering * Emerging topics in wireless and mobile computing and communications * Security, trust, and privacy in wireless/mobile communications * Communication networks and architectures for smart grids * Resource allocation and interference management in Smart Grid networks
