==================== Call for Papers ==================== Third International Workshop on Methods, Analysis and Protocols for Wireless Communication (MAPWC-2012) November 12-14, 2012, University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada To be held in conjunction with: Sixth International Conference on Broadband and Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications (BWCCA-2011) http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/BWCCA-2012/ University of Victoria, Victoria, Canada ======== Scope ======== Wireless communications are characterized by high bit-error rates and burst errors, which arise due to interference fading, shadowing, terminal mobility, and so on. Since the traditional design of the algorithms, methods and protocols of the wired Internet did not take wireless networks into account, the performance over wireless networks is largely degraded. Especially, the multi-hop communication aggravate the problem of wireless communication even further. To solve these problems, there has been increased interest to propose and design new algorithms and methodologies for wireless communication. The aim of this workshop is to present the innovative researches, methods and numerical analysis for wireless communications and wireless networks. The workshop seeks original contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics. =========================== Topics of interest =========================== Wireless Communication and Computing Numerical Calculation for Wireless Communications Microwave Communication Devices Wireless Networks Protocol Analysis Mobile Computing Propagation, Diffraction and Scattering Experimental and Simulation Evaluation ===================== Important Dates ====================== Submission Deadline: May 15, 2012 Authors Notification: June 30, 2012 Author Registration: July 30, 2012 Final Manuscript: July 30, 2012 Conference Dates: November 12-14, 2012 ============================= Submission Guidelines ============================= Submit a full paper not more than six pages (Conference proceedings manuscripts: two column, single-spaced), including figures and references, using 10 font size, and number each page. You can find instructions for authors, at the following web page: http://www.computer.org/portal/site/cscps/ Prepare your paper in PDF file and submit it by e-mail to the workshop PC Chair Prof. Hiroshi Maeda (hiroshi@fit.ac.jp). Accepted papers will be given guidelines in preparing and submitting the final manuscript(s) together with the notification of acceptance. ========================= Workshop Co-Chairs ========================= Kazunori Uchida, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Email: k-uchida@fit.ac.jp Leonard Barolli, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Email: barolli@fit.ac.jp ============================ Workshop PC Co-Chair ============================ Hiroshi Maeda, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Email: hiroshi@fit.ac.jp Koki Watanabe, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Email: koki@fit.ac.jp ================================== Program Committee Members ================================== Jiro Iwashige, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Arjan Durresi, Indiana University Purdue University at Indianapolis (IUPUI), USA Shinichi Ichitsubo, Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan Toshiaki Matsunaga, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Zhi Qi Meng, Fukuoka University, Japan Makoto Ikeda, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Irfan Awan, Bradford University, UK Tsuyoshi Matsuoka, Kyushu Sangyo University, Japan Fatos Xhafa, Technical University of Catalonia, Spain Kiyotaka Fujisaki, Kyushu University, Japan Koki Watanabe, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan Tao Yang, Fukuoka Institute of Technology, Japan
