Dear Friends, TKK jointly with Nokia (et al) and UC Dublin organise 1st IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic Wireless AccesS (IWAS07). ****************************************************************** * IWAS07 Call For Papers * 1st IEEE WoWMoM Workshop on Autonomic Wireless AccesS (IWAS07) * in conjunction with WoWMoM 2007, Helsinki. * June 17th, 2007 *************************************************************** IWAS 2007 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards autonomic control and management of future wireless access networks and systems. Access network devices and wireless terminals are becoming more and more complex, and they include support for multiple wireless technologies. Access networks are dynamically optimized for applications under different conditions, and service performance is affected by a large number of parameters and control algorithms. From the end users perspective, however, multi-access networks are desirable only if they do not deteriorate the quality of experience. It is therefore of vital interest to operators and vendors to minimize operational effort and cost and add intelligence to terminals, network elements and management tools through the adoption of Autonomic Communications and Computing (ACC) principles for self-configuring and self-optimizing access systems.
