 CALL FOR PAPERS (DEADLINE EXTENDED) -

4th IEEE International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algorithms 
(SCPA 2015)
June 8-12, 2015. London, UK
In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2015
http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2015/

Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols and 
Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorithms (ISSN 
1943-3581) or to the Special Issue on Recent Patents on Telecommunications 
Journal ((Online)ISSN 2211-7415, (Print) ISSN 2211-7407) 

Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network 
devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologies 
usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that allows 
data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recent advances 
in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rules, conventions 
and data structures which could be used by network devices to communicate 
across the network. Moreover, devices with higher processing capacity let us 
include more complex algorithms that can be used by the network device to 
enhance the communication procedure. 

Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods and 
techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making techniques, 
knowledge representation, network management, network optimization, problem 
solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network devices to transfer 
data between them. They can be used to perceive the network conditions, or the 
user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adapt, decide, take the 
appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences of its actions. The 
algorithms can make use of the information gathered from the protocol in order 
to sense the environment, plan actions according to the input, take 
consciousness of what is happening in the environment, and take the appropriate 
decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals such as decide which scenario fits 
best its end-to-end purpose, or environment prediction, can be achieved with 
smart protocols and algorithms. Moreover, they could learn from the past and !
 use this knowledge to improve futur
e decisions. 

In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on the 
design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication protocols 
or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protocols based on 
artificial intelligence techniques for network management, network monitoring, 
quality of service enhancement, performance optimization and network secure are 
included in the workshop. 

We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, 
practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific 
proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The topics 
suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the 
art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experiments and 
applications. 

Topics of interest:
Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under 
review in any other conference or journal, including, but are not limited to, 
the following topic areas:

- Smart network protocols and algorithms for multimedia delivery
- Application layer, transport layer and network layer cognitive protocols
