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 20, 2011 *******

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

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
