                        ***** WICON 2007 *****

      The Third Annual International Wireless Internet Conference

                          October 22-24, 2007
                          Austin, Texas, USA

**********************************************************************

Wireless  Internet  is  quickly  becoming  a  reality  thanks to  fast
evolution of  various  wireless  access  technologies.  Convergence of
heterogeneous wireless networks,  enabled by interworking and wireless
mesh  networking technologies,  further brings  wireless Internet into
various  application  scenarios.  On  the  other  hand,  new  wireless
Internet architectures,  services,  and solutions are still desired in
order to achieve the ultimate goal of wireless Internet access anytime
anywhere.

The Wireless Internet Conference  (WICON)  will continue to  provide a
premier international forum  to discuss novel research results related
to the emerging Wireless Internet.  The focus of WICON 2007 will be on
advanced  wireless  access   technologies,   wireless  mesh  networks,
interworking  of  heterogeneous  networks,  next  generation  wireless
Internet, and industrial practice methodology.  Given the existence of
many other conferences  on mobile ad hoc networks and sensor networks,
papers  that are  oriented  to these  networks  are discouraged unless
they directly focus on the conference  theme of the Wireless Internet.

WICON 2007 is  soliciting both academic research and industry practice
papers.  Industry practice papers  must have  at least one author from
industry   and   should  describe  interesting  technical  aspects  of
industrial  applications,  prototypes,   experiences,  and  standards;
performance and design details are encouraged,  whereas papers focused
on marketing or product information  will not  be accepted.  Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

Wireless access technologies:
=============================
* Wireless LANs, WiMedia, WiMAX, Bluetooth
* 3G and 4G cellular networks

Wireless multi-hop mesh networks:
=================================
* New mesh network architecture
* WiFi, UWB, Bluetooth wireless mesh networks
* Scalable MAC and routing protocols
* Multi-radio and multi-channel mesh networks
* QoS, security, and mobility management

Convergence of various wireless technologies:
=============================================
* Roaming, Interworking, and UMA
* Cognitive radios and programmable radios for wireless Internet
* Adaptive transport layer protocols

Testbed and measurements:
=========================
* Protocol design, implementation, and testbed setup of wireless
  Internet
* Measurement of wireless Internet and performance analysis

Next generation wireless Internet:
==================================
* Novel wireless Internet architecture
* New services and applications
* New algorithms for scalable, reliable, and high speed wireless
  Internet


SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
========================

Papers will be submitted by electronic submission through COCUS system:
http://cocus.create-net.it.  The page limit is 10 pages  in IEEE double
column format with fonts not smaller than 10 points.


IMPORTANT DATES:
================

Submission deadline        :                May 30, 2007
Notification of acceptance :               July 22, 2007
Camera-ready version       :           September 1, 2007


Selected papers  will be published  on a special issue  of  ACM Mobile
Networks and Applications (MONET).


WORKSHOPS:
===========

Proposals  for  workshops  should be  submitted to  the Workshop Chair
directly at yry@cs.yale.edu.  Evaluation of workshop proposals will be
based on the expertise  and experience of the instructors,  and on the
relevance of the subject matter.


PANELS:
=======

Proposals  for panel discussions  that  focus on  the  next generation
wireless Internet  are encouraged.  Potential panel organizers  should
submit a panel proposal to the Panel Chair directly at
sujata.banerjee@hp.com.


Posters/Demos:
==============

The conference  will  include  a poster/demo  session  that highlights
experiments   and    testbeds   that    demonstrate   the   successful
implementation of recent  or  on-going  research work.  Please contact
Poster/Demo Chair directly at jayeshseshadri@mail.utexas.edu
