=============================================================
Call for Papers for
Wireless Networking Symposium
http://www.ieee-icc.org/cfp_67_3063900731.pdf

IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC), 2012
Ottawa, Canada, June 10-15, 2012

http://www.ieee-icc.org
=============================================================

**Important Dates**

Paper Submission:           September 19, 2011 (extended and final deadline)
Acceptance Notification:   January 9, 2012
Camera-Ready Paper:      February 10, 2012

**Scope and Motivation**
Wireless networks are expected to encompass heterogeneous access 
technologies and the Internet backbone for providing services to both mobile 
and stationary users. It poses significant technical challenges to enable 
broadband wireless access with seamless and ubiquitous coverage and 
quality-of-service provisioning. The objective of this symposium is to serve 
as an international forum for experts from academia and industry to exchange 
ideas and results on research and development, and to promote and accelerate 
standardization, applications, and services of current and future wireless 
networks. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions 
on all aspects of wireless networks, applications and services, including, 
but not limited to, the following topics of interest. Please note that this 
Symposium focuses on research problems above the physical layer (although 
papers on cross-layer design/optimization are welcome). Papers solely 
addressing wireless communications problems at the physical layer should be 
submitted to other relevant symposia of IEEE ICC 2012.

limited to, the following topical areas:

**Submission Guidelines**

Papers should be written in English with a standard length of five (5) 
printed pages (10-point font) including figures, without incurring 
additional page charges (maximum 1 additional page with extra charge if 
accepted). You may use the standard IEEE Transactions templates for 
Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats found at 
http://www.ieee.org/portal/pages/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.html. 
Alternatively you can follow the sample instructions in template.pdf at 
http://www.comsoc.org/confs/globecom/2008/template.pdf. Only PDF files are 
accepted for paper review. You submitted PDF file and registered EDAS 
account of a paper must list the same author(s), title and abstract (minor 
wording differences in the abstract are ok). Papers where the PDF and EDAS 
account do not match the author(s), title, and/or abstract will be withdrawn 
by the Technical Program Co-Chairs or Symposium Co-Chairs.
Important IEEE Policy Announcement: The IEEE reserves the right to exclude a 
paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE 
Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
Papers are reviewed on the basis that they do not contain plagiarised 
material and have not been submitted to any other conference at the same 
time (double submission). These matters are taken very seriously and the 
IEEE Communications society will take action against any author who has 
engaged in either practice.
