2nd IEEE International Workshop on Convergence of Heterogeneous
Wireless Systems (CON-WIRE 2012)
(http://conwire.it.teithe.gr
June 11-15, 2012, Ottawa, Canada
organized in association with the
IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC 2012)
Overview
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 multi-access 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 optimized and maintained.
Topics
CONWIRE 2012 will collect latest research ideas and issues on the
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 etc)
* IP-based Mobility Management
* Efficient Handover Algorithms and RRM in heterogeneous wireless networks
* Cross-Layer Schemes
* Modeling, performance evaluation, simulation, and optimization techniques
* Wireless network testbeds and applications
* QoE in wireless converged networks
Contribution format
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previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by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. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum
paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures.
Paper submission can be found in: http://edas.info/N11447
Proceedings
All accepted papers will be available in IEEEXlore and a Special Issue
will be organized for best papers.
Schedule
* Full Paper Submission: Jan. 7, 2012 (extended, firm deadline)
* Notification of Acceptance: Feb. 19, 2012
