SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
--------------------------------
In recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become 
increasingly popular as an inexpensive and promising means for 
ubiquitous communications. In this scenario, the QoS provisioning and 
the management of network security have become crucial tasks to 
determine the success of future generation wireless mobile networks.This 
symposium calls for cutting-edge research achievements on the 
provisioning of QoS and Security in wireless and mobile networks. It 
also aims at increasing the synergy between academic and industry 
professionals working in this area.

Authors are encouraged to submit full papers presenting new research 
related to theory or practice of all aspects of Quality of Service and 
Security issues in mobile and wireless systems.

Topics of interest for ACM Q2SWinet 2012 include, but are not limited to:

+ Security in Wireless MANETs, VANETs, Sensor, Mesh and PCS Networks
+ Secure PHY, MAC and Routing Protocols
+ Secure Cooperation-Based Systems and Services
+ Security for Cognitive Radio Networks
+ Intrusion Detection in Wireless Ad hoc and Sensor Networks
+ Privacy, anonymity and authentication
+ Trust Establishment
+ Cooperation and Prevention of Non-cooperative Behavior
+ Incentive Aware Secure Protocol Design
+ QoS/QoE for Wireless Multimedia Networks and Systems
+ QoS/QoE for Wireless/Wired Hybrid Systems
+ QoS/QoE support and Mobility Management in Wireless Internet
+ QoS/QoE-Aware Routing for Wireless Networks
+ QoS/QoE Metrics
+ Wireless Network Survivability
+ Wireless Systems Reliability
+ Field operating tests, Performance Modeling and Simulation Techniques
+ Real-time and QoS-aware Wireless Networks

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
--------------------------------
Papers should neither have been published elsewhere  nor being currently 
under review  by another conference or journal. Manuscripts are limited 
to 10 pages, single  spacing,  double  column, and must strictly  adhere 
to the ACM template format. Guidelines  on  paper  submission  and  
formatting  are available  at http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/q2swinet2012/.

Submission is managed electronically through EDAS: http://edas.info/N12037

At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the 
symposium, in order for that paper to appear in the ACM proceedings and 
to be scheduled for presentation. Furthermore, authors of accepted 
papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the Symposium.
