CALL FOR PAPERS

WWIC 2012
10th International Conference on
Wired/Wireless Internet Communications

http://www.wwic2012.org

sponsored by IFIP

June 6-8, 2012
Island of Santorini, Greece

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
***** NEW SUBMISSION DEADLINE: DECEMBER 23, 2011 *****
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Internet is being extended beyond its traditional boundaries (i.e., areas with
network infrastructure) through gradually incorporating a wide-range of
challenging networks and autonomous devices. From traditional wireless
networks to opportunistic networks of mobile devices in urban environments
and deep-space communications, the new approaches require an efficient
merging with the traditional wired infrastructure. The need for novel all-weather
protocols, clean-slate or evolutionary architectures, merging and assembling of
different network technologies, unified operation and management of the
heterogeneous components and the support for new multimedia services are
only few examples of the wide range of technologies building-up this new global
network. 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. This year, we
particularly emphasize on areas such as Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant
Networks (DTNs) and Opportunistic Networks.

The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field of global
internetworking, 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 9 years, a high
quality level, which is reflected both on the level of participation as well as on the
acceptance ratio and the amount and quality of submitted papers. Following the
conference tradition there will also be a best paper award.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by
Springer in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Extended
versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of
an international journal.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- AAA in mobile environments
- Ad-hoc mobile networks
- Blended network configurations
- Cloud and data center computing
- Content-centric networking
