Call For Papers
International Symposium on Wireless Local and Personal Area Networks (part of IWCMC 2007) Turtle Bay Resort Hotel Honolulu, Hawaii, USA August 12-16, 2007	Technical Support: IEEE (pending)/ACM (approved)

Scope and Topics of Interest

Original papers are invited on emerging architectures and technologies in the design of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal area networks (WPANs) with emphasis on the use of such networks in diverse areas of applications such as supporting ubiquitous mobile Internet access, and the design of ad-hoc networks, and sensor networks. The symposium solicits high quality and previously unpublished work in the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Wireless Mesh Networks Medium access techniques and protocols for WLANs/WPANs Emerging standards and testbeds for WLANs/WPANs WLANs/WPANs protocols for smart antennas Energy efficiency in protocol and systems design Resource assignment and sharing in WLANs/WPANs Self configuration in WLANs/WPANs Provisioning quality of service in WLANs/WPANs Multimedia networking architectures and protocols for WLANs/WPANs Integration and interoperability of WLANs/WPANs and 3G (and beyond) networks Interoperability issues between wireless standards/protocols and the Internet User mobility and workload modeling Security issues in WLANs/WPANs
