Call for Papers
The Third International Conference on Systems and Networks Communications (ICSNC 2008) continues a series of events covering a broad spectrum of systems and networks related topics. The conference covers fundamentals on wireless, high speed, sensor and mobile and ad hoc networks, security, policy based systems, and education systems. Topics are targeting design, implementation, testing, use cases, tools, and lessons learnt for such networks and systems. The conference has the following specialized topics: WINET Wireless networks HSNET High speed networks SENET Sensor networks MHNET Mobile and Ad hoc networks SESYS Security systems MCSYS Multimedia communications systems POSYS Policy-based systems PESYS Pervasive education systems SPACOM Space communications We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, and panel proposals. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged. The following track topics are expected to be covered (but not limited to): WINET: Wireless networks 3G/4G integration Wireless protocols, architectural and design concepts Design and implementation
