CALL FOR PAPERS
Second Annual International Conference on Broadband Networks
(BROADNETS 2005)
Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium
October 3 - 7, 2005
Boston, Massachusetts, USA
http://www.broadnets.org
Submission Deadline Extended: February 25, 2005
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
-----
BroadNets 2005 is an international conference focusing on broadband networking and covers the entire gamut of next generation networks
with high bandwidth available for both wireless and wireline networks. The conference will consist of the following three symposia:
** Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium: covers mobility, routing for multihop, multimedia QoS and traffic management, cross-layer optimization, MAC and emerging physical layer technologies (UWB, MIMO) for high-speed wireless networking.
** Broadband Optical Networking Symposium: covers WDM technologies, Ethernet and MPLS integration into the optical layer, Next- Generation SONET/SDH, as well as SAN extensions over DWDM/SONET/SDH.
** Broadband Applications/Services Symposium: covers middleware and service architectures for broadband applications, pervasive computing and ubiquitous communications, and universal broadband access for information services.
BroadNets 2005 will thus offer a unique forum for researchers from academia, government and industry to share ideas and disseminate new
results in these important areas.
This Call for Papers describes the details for the Broadband Wireless Networking Symposium ONLY. (Refer to the www.broadnets.org website
for the details of Broadband Optical Symposium and Broadband Applications/Services Symposium.) We are soliciting full papers in all research, development, and deployment areas on broadband wireless networking. Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following:
- 3G/4G Systems
- Fixed Broadband Wireless Access
- Wireless Local Area Networks
- Wireless Indoor & Home Networks
- Wireless Mesh Networks
- Wireless Sensor Networks
- Ultra Wideband (UWB) Networks
- Ad-hoc Networks
- Wireless Personal Area Networks
- Free-Space Optics
- Internetworking Heterogeneous Wireless/Wireline Networks
- Network Topology Management
- Unicast and Multicast Routing
- Resource Management
- Neighbour Discovery
- MAC Protocol Design and Analysis including IEEE 802.11/15/16
- Software-Defined Radio
- Space-Time Processing, MIMO Systems
- Joint Physical/MAC Design
- Smart (directional) Antennas
- Power Control
- Mobility, Location and Handoff Management
- Routing in Multihop, Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks
- Multimedia QoS and Traffic Management
- Security Techniques and Systems
Conference proceedings will be published by IEEE Computer Society.
A set of selected papers from the symposium will be published in a special issue of ACM/Kluwer Mobile Networks (MONET) Journal.
