Scope of SWiM 2010:
===================

The advances in wireless technologies and mobile devices have enabled
the realization of a wide range of wireless networking opportunities.
The coexistence of wireless heterogeneous networks has been widely
recognized, and it has become more and more common that new mobile
devices get equipped with multiple and heterogeneous wireless interfaces.
Furthermore, the recent advances in software-defined and cognitive radio
technologies promise even more diversity and heterogeneity. This brings
about a lot of opportunities and challenges for mobile wireless
networking.

With the emerging wireless technologies, mobility has more generic
meaning than just node movement as in the traditional sense. It also
means that when the operational environment changes (such as frequency
and power), a node or the network adapts to the environmental changes,
which requires the cognitive capability. On one hand, it is of critical
importance that seamless, low latency and transparent services are
provided to the users, via potentially multiple heterogeneous wireless
technologies or opportunistic spectrum access involved during the
course of node movement or environmental changes. Environment cognizance,
spectrum-aware mobility management, and vertical handoff become critical
components in the solution space. On the other hand, host and network
mobility also affects the performance of network protocols significantly,
while at the same time allows opportunistic interconnections of
heterogeneous networks, which in turn makes mobility adaptability
an important design issue. This asks the design of wireless
architectures, protocols, spectrum management, and mobility management
mechanisms to be revisited.

Cohesive with the main theme of Globecom 2010 --- "moving into the age
of mobile interactivity", SWiM 2010 welcomes original submissions from
both researchers and practitioners that explore recent advances in
architecture, system, protocol, modeling, and testbed design, as well as
emerging applications and standards to enable seamless mobility and
transparency in wireless networks. Topics of interest include, but are
not limited to:

- Architecture, system, and protocol design for seamless roaming support
in wireless networks

- Spectrum cognition and agility associated with mobility

- Vertical handoff and seamless integration of heterogeneous networks

- Location tracking, positioning, and address management

- Mobility modeling and theoretical/experimental validation

- Mobility impact on routing, resource/power/QoS management

- Adaptive and resilient protocols for seamless mobility support at
all layers, as well as cross-layer approaches

- Security and privacy issues under mobility and network access

- Emerging standards and applications on mobility

- Simulation/testbed tools and experimental measurements

Important Dates:
================

Submission deadline : July 2, 2010
Notification of acceptance : August 13, 2010
Camera-ready version : August 31, 2010
Workshop Date : December 10, 2010

Submission Details:
===================

SWiM 2010 will only accept original, previous unpublished papers.
Prospective authors are encouraged to submit an IEEE conference style
paper up to 5 pages (including all text, figures, and references)
through EDAS submission system, but one additional page will be allowed
with additional publication fee.

An accepted paper must be registered before the registration deadline.
An accepted paper must be presented at the workshop. Failure to register
before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of the paper from
the workshop proceedings and the program.

All accepted and presented papers will be included in the IEEE GLOBECOM
proceedings and IEEE digital library. GLOBECOM has the right to remove an
accepted and registered but not presented paper from the IEEE digital
library.

Extended version of selected accepted papers will be published in a
special issue of Journal of Communications (JCM).

Organization Committee:

Subir Das, Telcordia Technologies, Inc.

Jing Deng, University of North Carolina at Greensboro

Nada Gomie, National Institute of Standards and Technology

Jason H. Li, Intelligent Automation, Inc.

Jiang (Linda) Xie, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
