SCOPE
The International Conference on Selected Topics iCOST'2012
in Mobile & Wireless Networking will be held in Avignon.
The ever increasing market penetration of smart-phones, tablets, and
netbooks, along with the ubiquitous availability of wireless networks
are deeply influencing the way people live, work, interact, and socialize.
However, the broad popularity and diffusion of innovative services and
applications tailored at mobile users is also raising challenging research
issues that require us to rethink available mobile technology solutions
to meet the emerging needs of a broader and ever growing user base.
iCOST'2011 aims at addressing recent research results on selected topics
in Mobile & Wireless Networking and to present their methodologies, models,
technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and
experiences.
Suggested topics include but are not restricted to:
* Cloud computing support for mobile services and applications
* Data center architectures and protocols
* Green communications models, architectures, and networking solutions
* Self-* networks, services and applications
* Content distribution networks
* Social networking solutions for pervasive and mobile environments
* Vehicular communications and vehicular ad-hoc networks
* Wireless-enabled Peer to Peer services and applications
* Internet of Things
* Machine type communications
* Context-aware middleware design, services and applications
* Long Term Evolution Engineering and Femtocells
* Emerging topics in wireless and mobile computing and communications
* Security, trust, and privacy in wireless/mobile communications
* Heterogeneous networks
* Communication networks and architectures for smart grids
* Resource allocation and interference management in Smart Grid networks
