***** WICON 2007 *****
The Third Annual International Wireless Internet Conference
October 22-24, 2007
Austin, Texas, USA
http://www.wicon.org
**********************************************************************
Wireless Internet is quickly becoming a reality thanks to fast
evolution of various wireless access technologies. Convergence of
heterogeneous wireless networks, enabled by interworking and wireless
mesh networking technologies, further brings wireless Internet into
various application scenarios. On the other hand, new wireless
Internet architectures, services, and solutions are still desired in
order to achieve the ultimate goal of wireless Internet access anytime
anywhere.
The Wireless Internet Conference (WICON) will continue to provide a
premier international forum to discuss novel research results related
to the emerging Wireless Internet. The focus of WICON 2007 will be on
advanced wireless access technologies, wireless mesh networks,
interworking of heterogeneous networks, next generation wireless
Internet, and industrial practice methodology. Given the existence of
many other conferences on mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks,
papers that are oriented to these networks are discouraged unless
they directly focus on the conference theme of the Wireless Internet.
WICON 2007 is soliciting both academic research and industry practice
papers. Industry practice papers must have at least one author from
industry and should describe interesting technical aspects of
industrial applications, prototypes, experiences, and standards;
performance and design details are encouraged, whereas papers focused
on marketing or product information will not be accepted. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Wireless access technologies:
=============================
- Wireless LANs, WiMedia, WiMAX, Bluetooth
- 3G and 4G cellular networks
Wireless multi-hop mesh networks:
=================================
- New mesh network architecture
- WiFi, UWB, Bluetooth wireless mesh networks
- Scalable MAC and routing protocols
- Multi-radio and multi-channel mesh networks
- QoS, security, and mobility management
Convergence of various wireless technologies:
=============================================
- Roaming, Interworking, and UMA
- Cognitive radios and programmable radios for wireless Internet
- Adaptive transport layer protocols
Testbed and measurements:
=========================
- Protocol design, implementation, and testbed setup of wireless
Internet
- Measurement of wireless Internet and performance analysis
Next generation wireless Internet:
==================================
- Novel wireless Internet architecture
- New services and applications
- New algorithms for scalable, reliable, and high speed wireless
Internet
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
