Call for Papers for QShine 2007

------------

The Fourth International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality,
Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2007)
http://www.qshine.org/
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, August 14-17, 2007

Sponsored by Create-Net and ICST
Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE and ACM

*******

Overview

The Fourth International Conference on Heterogeneous Networking for Quality,
Reliability, Security and Robustness (QShine 2007) will focus on the 
research
challenges associated the design and implementation of large-scale wired and
wireless networks and distributed systems. Following the tradition of the
previous QShine meetings, QShine 2007 will feature prominent invited 
speakers as
well as papers by top researchers in the field.

*******

Scope

The QShine program committee solicits original papers describing both
experimental and theoretical results that address a wide spectrum of 
fundamental
issues associated with the design and implementation of large scale
heterogeneous networks and distributed systems. Topics of interest 
include, but
are not limited to, the following:

Quality of Service provisioning
Design, implementation or architectures related to QoS-enabled networks and
distributed systems Scheduling, resource management, queue management, and
admission control
Game-theoretic aspects in wired/peer-to-peer/overlay/wireless networks and
distributed systems
Incentive engineering in wired/peer-to-peer/overlay/wireless networks and
distributed systems
QoS routing in wired/peer-to-peer/overlay/wireless networks and distributed
systems
Traffic analysis, traffic engineering, and traffic shaping in heterogeneous
environments
Middleware for wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks and
distributed systems
QoS-aware service composition in distributed systems
Security protocols and algorithms in wired, overlay and wireless networks
Pricing, billing, and resource allocation in wired, overlay and wireless
networks
QoS adaptation, modeling and measurements
Performance optimization in peer-to-peer and overlay networks
Scalability of large-scale overlay and wireless networks
Resilience of overlay and wireless protocols
Cross-layer protocol design in wireless networks
Energy-aware protocols and algorithms in wireless networks
Cross-layer performance optimization for energy, network lifetime, and 
capacity
Topology control for QoS support in wireless networks
QoS in WLAN, WPAN, WMAN and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20)
QoS support across heterogeneous wired and wireless subnetworks
MAC protocols with QoS support
QoS and survivability in mobile environments

Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings. Papers of
particular merit will be selected for consideration of fast track 
publication in
ACM/Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (approved) or Elsevier 
Computer
Networks (pending approval).

Paper Submission

QShine 2007 invites manuscripts that present original materials not 
previously
published in, or currently under review by, another conference or journal.
Submissions should be either full-length papers of up to 7 pages or 
short papers
of up to 4 pages (including all figures and references) formatted 
according to
http://www.acm.org/sigs/pubs/proceed/template.html with font sizes of 10 or
larger. Full-length papers should report on completed work and will be
considered for oral presentations. Short papers should report on work in
progress or discuss open problems, and will be considered for poster
presentations. A separate abstract of no longer than 200 words should be
submitted as well. Submissions will be judged by their originality,
significance, interest, clarity, relevance, and correctness. All papers 
should
be electronically submitted in Adobe PDF format. Please follow the 
submission
instructions at http://www.qshine.org/submission.html to submit your paper.
