************************************************************************
Seventh International Conference on Broadband, Wireless Computing,
Communication and Applications (BWCCA-2012)
************************************************************************
Submission Deadline (Extended): June 10, 2012
(http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/BWCCA-2012)
to be held at the University of Victoria (UVic) in Victoria, Canada
November 12-14, 2012
In conjunction with 3PGCIC-2012 International Conference

CONFERENCE AIMS
*****************************************
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 behaviours.
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.
