Scope
=====
The 3rd ACM* International Workshop on QoS and Security for Wireless and
Mobile Networks (Q2SWinet) will take place in Chania, Crete Island, Greece,
in conjunction with MSWiM 2007, the 10th ACM International Symposium on
Modeling, Analysis, Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems.
Call for Papers
===============
In recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become
increasingly popular as an inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous
communications. For these reasons, QoS and Security management of wireless
and mobile communication systems are becoming a very crucial phase for
future generation of wireless and mobile networks.
This workshop focus upon the study of all aspects of QoS and Security,
for wireless and mobile networks.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
# Security in Wireless MANETs, VANETs, sensor, mesh and PCS networks
# Secure wireless access and secure routing
# Secure cooperation-based systems and services
# Secure wireless communication in multi-modal, multi-homed systems
# Intrusion detection in wireless ad hoc and sensor networks
# Peer-to-peer security issues
# Privacy, Anonymity and Authentication
# Trust management for cooperation-based systems and services
# QoS for wireless multimedia networks and systems
# QoS and wireless/wired systems integration
# QoS-based Wireless Network Services
# QoS and security in Wireless VoIP systems and services
# QoS provisioning in wireless multimedia systems
# QoS in the Wireless Internet
# QoS and Routing
# Monitoring and control systems of wireless networks
# QoS Metrics
# Power and energy management in wireless systems
# Wireless video surveillance networks
# Wireless network survivability
# Wireless systems reliability
# Wireless and mobile systems, services and applications
# Field operating tests, performance modeling and simulation techniques
# Real-time and QoS-aware wireless networks
