   Call for Papers on

   Home and Personal Network Communications

   IEEE WIRELESSCOM 2005 
   June 13-16, 2005
   Sheraton Maui Resort
   Maui, Hawaii, USA
   ______________________________________________________________________


   The home is widely predicted to be the next major deployment environment for
   data networks, but it presents some novel and unusual challenges that have
   not been primary concerns in network deployments until now. For example,
   home networks will be installed by less knowledgeable users, must hit low
   cost points and will need to be able to carry more varied types of data than
   has previously been the case.

   The symposium is an opportunity for researchers and authors to meet each
   other and share new developments and opportunities. Papers on all aspects of
   Home and Personal Network Communications are solicited for this symposium.
   Some representative topics include (but are not limited to):

     * Home LANs and PANs (IEEE 1394, Bluetooth, HomePNA, HomeRF, HomePlug)
     * Multimedia Applications
     * Networked appliances
     * Surveillance, home monitoring
     * Virtual home environment
     * QoS Measurement/Modeling
     * In-Home Network Management
     * Body and PANs
     * Network Security and Privacy
     * Residential Gateways
     * Vehicle Networks
     * Residential Gateways
