8th International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet Communications (WWIC 2010) at Lulea, Sweden

Call for Papers
===============================================================================

8th International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet Communications
(WWIC), June 1-3, 2010, Lulea, Sweden

http://www.ltu.se/wwic2010

===============================================================================

Goal
=====
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

CFP: Telecommunication Systems Special Issue on "Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications"

Call For Papers
Telecommunication Systems
Special Issue on "Vehicular Communications, Networks, and Applications"


Aims and Scope

Vehicular communication and networking have been identified  as key
technologies for
increasing road  safety and  transport  efficiency.
Vehicular networks aim to ensure traffic safety for  drivers, provide
comfort for
passengers  and  reduce  transportation time and  fuel
consumption. The development of vehicular  communication and
networking technologies
 are expected to enable many potential applications
, including automatic  collision notification  and prevention,  emergency
management,  assistances for  safe driving, real-time traffic
congestion notification,  location-based driver  information services,
high-speed
tolling, vehicle tracking, automobile Internet access,
and many others.  To facilitate these applications,  many different types of
communication  and  networking would be involved, including
intra-vehicle, vehicle-to-vehicle (V-to-V), vehicle-to-roadside (V-to-R) and
vehicle-to-infrastructure (V-to-I) communications.

This  special issue aims to foster the dissemination of high-quality,  original,

title page containing the title of the paper, full names and  affiliations,
complete  postal  and  electronic  addresses,  phone and fax
numbers,  an  abstract,  and  some  keywords.  The  contacting  author should be
clearly identified. In addition, this special issue also
collects best papers from IEEE International Symposium on Pervasive Computing,
