SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
******************

Q2SWinet 2009 is the 5th Annual International Symposium on QoS and Security for Wireless and Mobile Networks held in conjunction with the 12-th Annual Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM). The symposium will bring together networking researchers, engineers, and practitioners with participants from industry, academia, and government.

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. Q2SWinet 2009 calls for cutting-edge research achievements on the provisioning of QoS and Security in wireless and mobile networks. Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research related to theory or practice of all aspects of Quality of Service and Security issues in mobile and wireless systems.
