WWIC 2008

6th International Conference on

Wired / Wireless Internet Communications

May 28-30, 2008
Tampere, Finland

http://wwic2008.cs.tut.fi/

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

*** Extended submission deadline: January 18, 2008 ***

FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS

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. 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 5 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.

CONFERENCE TOPICS

The conference objectives will be pursued through highly technical
sessions organized thematically and keynote talks offered by recognized
experts. Topics of interest to WWIC 2008 include (but are not limited
to) the following:

- AAA in mobile environments
- Ambient networks
- Ad-hoc mobile networks
- Blended network configurations
- Beyond 3G networks technologies

PROCEEDINGS

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original,
previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by
another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and
development in all areas of computer networking and data communications.

All papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the
conference proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series.
Papers must be submitted electronically in the conference site. The
maximum size of papers should be 5000 words including tables and
figures. Please adhere to the formatting standard for a 12-page
manuscript of Springer-Verlag LNCS. The cover page must contain an
abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of
author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address.

There will be a Best Paper Award, and there will be a special journal issue
for the best papers.
