Special Issue on ?Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems in 
Future Internet?


Future Internet envisions the synergy among heterogeneous wireless
communications will co-exist providing the end user the ?flexibility and 
   choice?, to improve his/her quality of life. The integration of
heterogeneous networks in multiaccess and multi-operator environment is
revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better
communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications
and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number 
of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the 
same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be 
macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this
environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, 
enabling mobile users to be ?Always Best Connected? (ABC) so that 
Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained.


Topics of interest:
The proposed Special Issue will report the results of latest research
efforts on convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future
Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including,
but not limited to:
- Wireless Network Architectures
- Middleware for Wireless Converged Networks.
- Wireless Convergence in Future Internet Initiatives (e.g. FIRE, GENI)
- IP-based Mobility Management
- Efficient Handover Algorithms & RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks
- Cross-Layer Schemes
- Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation & optimization techniques
- Wireless network testbeds and applications
- QoE in wireless converged networks
