In recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become increasingly popular as an inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous communications. In this scenario, the QoS provisioning and the management of network security have become crucial tasks to determine the success of future generation wireless mobile networks. This symposium calls for cutting-edge research achievements on the provisioning of QoS and Security in wireless and mobile networks. It also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry professionals working in this area.

Authors are encouraged to submit complete papers presenting new research related to theory or practice of all aspects of Quality of Service and Security issues in mobile and wireless systems.

The topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
Security in Wireless MANETs, VANETs, Sensor, Mesh and PCS Networks
