                          CALL FOR PAPERS

                                WWIC 2012
               10th International Conference on
        Wired/Wireless Internet Communications

                     http://www.wwic2012.org

                            sponsored by IFIP

                              June 6-8, 2012
                    Island of Santorini, Greece

Internet is being extended beyond its traditional boundaries (i.e., areas with network infrastructure) through gradually incorporating a wide-range of challenging networks and autonomous devices. From traditional wireless networks to opportunistic networks of mobile devices in urban environments and deep-space communications, the new approaches require an efficient merging with the traditional wired infrastructure. The need for novel all-weather protocols, clean-slate or evolutionary architectures, merging and assembling of different network technologies, unified operation and management of the heterogeneous components and the support for new multimedia services are only few examples of the wide range of technologies building-up this new global network. 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. This year, we particularly emphasize on areas such as Delay- and Disruption-Tolerant Networks (DTNs) and Opportunistic Networks.

The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field of global internetworking, 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 9 years, a high quality level, which is reflected both in the level of participation as well as the acceptance ratio and the amount and quality of submitted papers. Following the conference tradition there will also be a best paper award. 

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings published by Springer in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) Series. Extended versions of selected papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of an international journal. 

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

- AAA in mobile environments
- Ad-hoc mobile networks
- Blended network configurations
- Cloud and data center computing
- Content-centric networking
