Call for Papers
Fifth International Conference on Broadband, Wireless Computing,
Communication and Applications (BWCCA-2010)
In conjunction with 3PGCIC-2010 International Conference
http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/3PGCIC2010/
November 4-6, 2010
Fukuoka Institute of Technology (FIT), Fukuoka, Japan
Networking for All Systems and Applications
Theme:
Communication networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different kinds of networks with
different characteristics are emerging and they are integrating in heterogeneous networks. For these reasons,
there are many interconnection problems which may occur at different levels in the hardware and software
design of communicating entities and communication networks. These kinds of networks need to manage an
increasing usage demand, provide support for a significant number of services, guarantee their QoS, and
optimize the utilization of network resources. Therefore, architectures and algorithms in these networks become
very complex and it seems imperative to focus on new models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can
enable the network to perform adaptive behaviors.
The success of all-IP networking and wireless technology has changed the ways of living for the people around
the world. The progress of electronic integration and wireless communications is going to pave the way to offer
people the access to the wireless networks on the fly, based on which all electronic devices will be able to
exchange the information with each other whenever necessary. Also, ubiquitous computing is an emerging field
of research for computing paradigms in the 21st century. This emergence is the natural result of research and
technological advances mainly in wireless communications, mobile computing and agent technologies.
Supported by recent technological advances in low power wireless communications along with silicon
integration of various functionalities such as sensing, communications, intelligence and actuations, ad-hoc
networks and sensor networks are emerging as a critically important disruptive computer class based on a new
platform, networking structure and interface that enable novel, low cost, high volume applications such as
nuclear, biological and chemical attack detection and protection, home automation, battlefield surveillance and
environmental monitoring.
The aim of BWCCA is to present the innovative researches, and technologies as well as developments related
to broadband networking, mobile networking and wireless communications. The conference seeks original
contributions in all relevant areas, including but not limited to the following topics.
