 As we progress from Generation X to Generation Z, we are also advancing towards 
 Generation C where "the community is connected through context-aware content". Wired 
 networks and applications have already responded well to the needs of Generation C. 
 Though wireless is already prevalent in the forms of WLAN, WPAN cellular etc, they are 
 still seen as the last mile enabler for these wired applications. As advances in 
 pervasive computing, wireless communication and sensor networks continue, real time 
 information availability, ubiquitous connectivity and convergence can enable new 
 applications that are context aware and provide valuable services to the community. 

 This workshop provides a forum for academia, industry, and government agencies to discuss 
 the challenges involved in the design, deployment and operational issues of Generation C 
 wireless networks. The workshop will identify and define new applications, fundamental 
 issues and potential solutions. Contributions of all types including case studies and 
 research, addressing the main focus or one of following non-exclusive list of topics 
 are equally welcome:

	* Connectivity and convergence of heterogonous networks 
	  (interoperability, handoff, QoS, policies, resource management, roaming, etc)
	* Smart environments (buildings, roads, vehicles, etc)
	* Location based services
	* Security, privacy, and performance trade-offs
	* Community based networks
	* Next generation networking applications (social, vehicular, healthcare, etc)
	* Context-aware networks, service management and adaptive protocols
	* Cognitive networks, protocols, and services
	* Mobility models and traffic patterns
	* Cross-layer designs and optimizations
	* Testbeds, benchmarks, prototypes and experimental studies
