The 4th ACM International
Symposium on
QoS and Security for Wireless and Mobile
Networks
Call For Papers
ACM Q2SWinet 2008 is the
4th Annual International Workshop on QoS and Security for Wireless and Mobile
Networks. Q2SWinet will be a one-day workshop, held in conjunction with
the 11-th Annual ACM/IEEE Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation
of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM). The workshop will bring together
networking researchers, engineers, and practitioners with participants
from industry, academia, and government. Q2SWinet 2008 will be held
October 27 to 31, 2008, in Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada.
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 workshop calls for cutting-edge
research achievements on the provisioning of QoS and Security in wireless
and mobile networks.
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. Submitted papers must not have been
published elsewhere, nor currently under review in other conferences or
journals.

Paper Submission
and Publication
High-quality original
papers are solicited. Papers must be unpublished and must not be
submitted for publication elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by
Technical Program Committee members and other experts active in the field
to ensure high quality and relevance to the workshop. Short papers might
be included in the technical program to complete it and foster discussion
and idea exchange.
More detailed instructions for paper submission will be provided soon.
Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings to be published
by ACM press (see previous editions on the ACM digital
library).
The organizing committee is
planning to have a special issue of an international journal to host
selected papers of the workshop (approval pending).
