IWCMC 2010 - International Workshop on “Emergency Management: Communication and Computing Platforms

CALL FOR PAPERS
International Workshop on “Emergency Management: Communication and Computing Platforms”
Co-Located with the 6th International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2010)
http://iwcmc.com
June 28 ? July 2, 2010, Caen, France

Aims and Scope

The International Workshop on “Emergency Management: Communication and Computing Platforms” will be held in conjunction with IWCMC 2010. The International Workshop on “Emergency Management: Communication and Computing Platforms” provides a forum for engineers and scientists in academia, industry and government to present their latest research findings in Computer and communication technologies in Emergency Management.
In this workshop, we explore fundamental questions regarding the modern approach to emergency management, taking into accounts the advantages of modern elaboration architectures. In particular the joint approach of grid computing and heterogeneous networking represent one of the most interesting approaches for managing emergency situations.

Areas of Interest

The areas of interest for International Workshop on “Emergency Management: Communication and Computing Platforms” include, but are not limited to, the following: Wireless communications for emergency management Communication technologies (WiMAX, WiFi, LTE, TETRA, Satellite) Wireless Sensor Networks MAC/Network protocols Heterogeneous networking Resource allocations in wireless broadband area networks QoS management for emergency management Cognitive radio Mobile grids Adaptivity in Computations and Communications Integration of communication and computing Demo and field trials
The purpose of this workshop is to stimulate the study of joint approaches to computing and communication for managing complex situations with a particular focus on emergency management.
