***********************************************************************************************************************
Overview
The Fourth International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2007) will focus on the research challenges associated the design and implementation of large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed systems. Following the tradition of the previous QShine meetings, QShine 2007 will feature prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field.
*******
Scope
The QShine program committee solicits original papers describing both experimental and theoretical results that address a wide spectrum of fundamental issues associated with the design and implementation of large scale heterogeneous networks and distributed systems. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
Quality of Service provisioning Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled networks and distributed systems Scheduling, resource management, queue management, and admission control Game-theoretic aspects in wired/peer-to-peer/overlay/wireless networks and distributed systems Incentive engineering in wired/peer-to-peer/overlay/wireless networks and distributed systems QoS routing in wired/peer-to-peer/overlay/wireless networks and distributed systems Traffic analysis, traffic engineering, and traffic shaping in heterogeneous environments Middleware for wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems QoS-aware service composition in distributed systems Security protocols and algorithms in wired, overlay and wireless networks Pricing, billing, and resource allocation in wired, overlay and wireless networks QoS adaptation, modeling and measurements Performance optimization in peer-to-peer and overlay networks Scalability of large-scale overlay and wireless networks Resilience of overlay and wireless protocols Cross-layer protocol design in wireless networks Energy-aware protocols and algorithms in wireless networks Cross-layer performance optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity Topology control for QoS support in wireless networks QoS in WLAN, WPAN, WMAN and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20) QoS support across heterogeneous wired and wireless subnetworks MAC protocols with QoS support QoS and survivability in mobile environments
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of particular merit will be selected for consideration of fast track publication in ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (approved) or Elsevier Computer Networks (pending approval).

Paper Submission
QShine 2007 invites manuscripts that present original materials not previously published in, or currently under review by, another conference or journal. Submissions should be either full-length papers of up to 7 pages or short papers of up to 4 pages (including all figures and references) formatted according to http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html with font sizes of 10 or larger. Full-length papers should report on completed work and will be considered for oral presentations. Short papers should report on work in progress or discuss open problems, and will be considered for poster presentations. A separate abstract of no longer than 200 words should be submitted as well. Submissions will be judged by their originality, significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. All papers should be electronically submitted in Adobe PDF format. Please follow the submission instructions at http://www.qshine.org/submission.html to submit your paper.
