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
