Next generation mobile networks will be based on Internet core networks and
wireless access networks. The need for efficient merging of the wired and
wireless infrastructure as well as the new multimedia services and applications
of next generation networks call for novel network architectures, protocols and
traffic-related mechanisms. WWIC addresses research topics such as the design
and evaluation of protocols, the dynamics of the integration, the performance
tradeoffs, the need for new performance metrics, and cross-layer interactions.

The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field, and
to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions
that will designate future research efforts and directions. In this context,
the program committee will accept only a limited number of papers that meet the
criteria of originality, presentation quality and topic relevance. WWIC is a
single-track conference which has reached, within 5 years, the highest level of
quality, which is reflected both in the level of participation as well as the
acceptance ratio and the amount and quality of submitted papers.

Conference topics

The conference objectives will be pursued through highly technical sessions
organized thematically and keynote talks offered by recognized experts. Topics

Proceedings

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original,
previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by
another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and
development in all areas of computer networking and data communications.

All papers will be reviewed and accepted papers will appear in the conference
proceedings, published by Springer-Verlag in the LNCS series. Papers must be
submitted electronically in the conference site. The maximum size of papers
should be 5000 words including tables and figures. Please adhere to the
formatting standard for a 12-page manuscript of Springer-Verlag LNCS. The cover
page must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and
affiliation of author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and
postal address.

There will be a Best Paper Award.
