CALL FOR PAPERS Important Dates: Paper submission due: 22 May 2009 Acceptance notification: 1 July 2009 Final paper due: 5 September 2009 Scope The 6th International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and Robustness (QSHINE 2009) will focus on the research challenges associated to the design and implementation of large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed systems. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners to present and share the latest results in the areas of performance, configuration, cross-layer approaches, scalability, resilience and survivability of large scale heterogeneous networks and distributed systems. Following the tradition of the previous QSHINE meetings, QSHINE 2009 will feature prominent invited speakers as well as papers by top researchers in the field. Topics Original papers addressing performance optimization and Quality of Service support, ranging from the link layer to the application layer, over large-scale wired and wireless networks and distributed system, are solicited. Authors are encouraged to submit theoretical and/or experimental results of significance. The scope of the conference includes, but is not limited to: Quality of service provisioning in wired and wireless networks and distributed systems Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled networks and distributed systems QoS routing in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems QoS-aware service composition in distributed systems QoS in WLAN, WPAN, WMAN and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20) QoS in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks QoS support across heterogeneous wired and wireless sub-networks MAC protocols with QoS support in wireless networks Topology control for QoS support in wireless networks QoS and survivability in mobile environments Scheduling, resource management, queue management, and admission control QoS adaptation, modeling and measurements Game-theoretic aspects in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems Incentive engineering in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and distributed systems Pricing, billing, and resource allocation in wired, overlay and wireless networks Traffic analysis, traffic engineering, and traffic shaping in heterogeneous environments Security protocols and algorithms in wired, overlay and wireless networks Scalability of large-scale overlay and wireless networks Resilience of overlay and wireless protocols Cross-layer protocol design in wireless networks Cross-layer performance optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity Publication Official conference proceedings of ICST sponsored events appear in the Lecture Notes of ICST (LNICST) series jointly published by ICST and Springer. Inclusion in LNICST offers >>the following benefits to authors. Submission For submission instruction >>click here.

ICST will only send mail of an informative character towards its carefully selected users as efficient and effective as possible. ICST in no means uses volume based mailing systems, and/or uses ways to send mail which could not be of interest for you.
