CALL FOR PAPERS
Innovations in cloud computing, wireless networking and virtualization technologies are fundamentally changing our increasingly connected world, with mobile devices gaining acceptance for both professional and private usage, and enterprise computing providing revolutionary gains in productivity and cost savings. Further, in the future, a vast majority of mobile devices will rely on cloud services to enhance end user experiences-with services being a natural extension of such devices. Cloud wireless networking offers a combination and tighter integration of cloud computing, virtual networking and mobility, by distributing the benefits of cloud computing into the network, blurring the line defining the network edge and bringing the massive benefits of cloud computing closer and accessible to the user. Further, secure and robust information and adaptability features together with a tighter integration of virtualization concepts at computing and networking levels are the defining aspects of cloud wireless networking. In order to benefit from the integrated approach of cloud wireless networking, there are several key challenges to be addressed depending on the applications and the type of wireless networks. Current research efforts are mainly dedicated at the optimization of network resources within the cloud, network access layer adaptations, failure protection and improved reliability, improving QoS-awareness, optimizing elasticity and flexibility etc.
The WICCON workshop aims to discuss most recent results of various international research initiatives in the areas of Wireless Cloud Networking applications, Internet Cloud-based optimization of wireless networks, Cognitive Wireless clouds and Virtualization technologies for cloud wireless networks. The workshop will bring together researchers and industry fora to share the future research perspectives of wireless cloud networks and is a timely initiative given the growing importance and outreach for cloud computing integrated with wireless networking and technologies.
List of Topics
* Wireless Cloud Networking Applications
