CALL FOR PAPERS
International Conference on Selected Topics (iCOST’2011) in Mobile& Wireless Networking October 10-12, 2011 Shanghai, China http://www.icost.info
iCOST’2011 will be collocated with IEEE WiMOB 2011.
The ever increasing market penetration of smart-phones, tables, and netbooks, along with the ubiquitous availability of wireless networks are deeply influencing the way people live, work, interact, and socialize. However, the broad popularity and diffusion of innovative services and applications tailored at mobile users is also raising challenging research issues that require us to rethink available mobile technology solutions to meet the emerging needs of a broader and ever growing user base.
The goal of iCOST’2011 is to bring together researchers and scientists to present and discuss advances on selected topics in Mobile& Wireless Networking. The conference aims to address recent research results and to present their methodologies, models, technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences.
Shanghai is the largest city in China, which is located in the eastern coast at the south bank. The city is an emerging tourist destination and is renowned for both its historical landmarks, such as Xintiandi and Bund, and for the modern Pudong skyline.
The iCOST’2011 technical program will deliver high quality technical papers that will be reviewed and selected by an international program committee. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Cloud computing support for mobile services and applications - Data center architectures and protocols - Green communications models, architectures, and networking solutions - Self-* networks, services and applications - Content distribution networks - Social networking solutions for pervasive and mobile environments - Vehicular communications and vehicular ad-hoc networks - Wireless-enabled Peer to Peer services and applications - Internet of Things - Machine type communications - Context-aware middleware design, services and applications - Long Term Evolution Engineering - Emerging topics in wireless and mobile computing and communications
Authors are required to submit anonymous, fully formatted, original papers (PDF), with graphs, images, and other special areas arranged as intended for the final publication. Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11" - US letter, Two-Column). The initial submission for review will be limited to 7 pages. The final manuscript for publication will be limited to 6 pages (IEEE format). Additional charges may apply for additional pages. Each accepted paper must be presented at the conference by one of the co-authors or a third party. Only timely submissions through EDAS at http://edas.infowill be accepted.
