CALL FOR PAPERS - PWC 2006

11th IFIP International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications September 20-22, 2006, Albacete, Spain

http://www.i3a.uclm.es/pwc06/

PWC provides an international forum for discussions between researchers, practitioners and students interested in new developments in mobile computing and wireless networks. PWC'2006 is the eleventh conference of this series and is sponsored by IFIP WG 6.8, and will be held in Albacete, Spain. The conference will consist of three days of scientific presentations.

The PWC 2006 technical committee solicits papers describing original, previously unpublished, completed or on-going research. Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

Mobile and Wireless Networking IP-based Mobile Networks Mobility Management Evolution of 3G Systems Future Generation Systems Integration of Heterogeneous Mobile and Wireless Networks QoS in Mobile and Wireless Networks QoS support in IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16 Multicast support in WLAN Ad Hoc Networks and Networks of Ad Hoc Networks Self-organization of Wireless Networks Personal Area Networks, Body Area Networks, and Personal Networks Wireless Sensor Networks Wireless LAN Software for Wireless Systems Ultra-Wide Band and Short-range Networks Energy-efficient Protocols and Power Management Security and Privacy in Mobile and Wireless Networks AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) in Mobile and Wireless Networks Transport layer issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks Analysis, Simulation and Measurement of Mobile and Wireless Networks Cross-layer design in Mobile and Wireless Networks Mobile and Wireless Applications Wireless Multimedia Networking

For the submission format of your full paper, we strongly prefer, but do not require strict adherence to the LNCS format. However, the final paper must be in strict LNCS format and number of LNCS pages must be 12 pages, and provided according to the LNCS guidelines, or it cannot be included in the PWC proceedings. The LNCS format is quite different from plain A4, so to limit your reformatting effort we strongly suggest you also provide the submitted paper in LNCS format. Please refer to Springer's author guidelines for LNCS papers.

Authors must state that their paper has not been published elsewhere nor is under review by another conference or journal. Submission instructions for papers will appear on this website.

All papers will be reviewed by the technical program committee members. Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and will be published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Authors are required to attend the conference and present their paper. A special issue with selected papers will be published by Telecommunication Systems Journal (indexed in JCR and SCI-E)

*IMPORTANT DATES *

Full papers due: 15 February 2006 Notification of acceptance: 1 April 2006 Final paper due: 1 May 2006 Early registration deadline: 1 May 2006
