   Call for Papers WWIC 2005

   May 11-13 2005, Xanthi, Greece

   Next generation mobile networks will be based on Internet core networks
   and wireless access networks. The need for efficient merging of the wired
   and wireless infrastructure as well as the new multimedia services and
   applications of next generation networks call for novel network
   architectures, protocols and traffic-related mechanisms. WWIC is
   addressing research topics such as the design and evaluation of protocols,
   the dynamics of the integration, the performance tradeoffs, the need for
   new performance metrics, and cross-layer interactions. The goal of the
   conference is to present high-quality results in the field, and to provide
   a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that
   will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context,
   the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that
   meet the criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic
   relevance. Proceedings will be published by LNCS Springer. Selected best
   papers will appear in a journal special issue. The specific journal will
   be announced prior to submission deadline. In addition, the best paper as
   well as the runner up will be awarded at the conference, based on reviewer
   comments and suggestions of the Technical Program Committee members.

   The paper should not exceed 12 pages and the conference proceedings will
   be published by Springer's Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS).

   Papers should address one of the following topics:

     * Network design and network planning
     * Traffic engineering
     * Traffic characterisation and modeling
     * Mobile service level agreements / specification
     * Simulation technologies for next generation mobile networks
     * Transport protocols and congestion control
     * Cross layer interactions
     * Mobility management
     * End-to-end Quality of Service support
     * Heterogeneous wireless access networks
     * Integration and interworking of wired and wireless networks
     * Performance evaluation of mobile and wireless networks and systems
     * Handover techniques
     * Wireless multimedia systems
     * Service creation and management environments for mobile/wireless
       systems
     * Resource management and admission control
     * QoS signaling
     * QoS routing
     * Wireless Multi-Hop Networks
     * Economical issues of wireless networks
     * Pricing, charging and accounting in wireless networks
