Call For Papers
IEEE International Conference on Communications - ICC 2013 Budapest, Hungary - June 9-13, 2013 Communications QoS, Reliability and Modeling Symposium (CQRM) Extended Submission Deadline September 30, 2012 The 2013 IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) will be held in the vibrant city of Budapest, Hungary from 9 - 13 June 2013. This flagship conference of IEEE Communications Society aims at addressing an essential theme on "Bridging the Broadband Divide." The conference will feature a comprehensive technical program including several Symposia and a number of Tutorials and Workshops. IEEE ICC 2013 will also include an attractive expo program including keynote speakers, various Business, Technology and Industry forum, and vendor exhibits. We invite you to submit your original technical papers, industry forum, workshop, and tutorial proposals to this event. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE ICC 2013 Conference Proceedings and in IEEE XploreR. Full details of submission procedures are available at http://www.ieee-icc.org/2013. Scope and Topics of Interest Provisioning and improving quality of service (QoS) has been one of the key objectives in designing networks and communications systems. There have been more than two decades of extensive research activities on a series of topics related to QoS provisioning including traffic modeling, resource allocation, network monitoring, and service management. Advances in networking and communications technologies are transforming the networking infrastructure into a highly heterogeneous large-scale entity, thus presenting new challenges and captivating much interest in provisioning QoS in such networking environment. For example, communication networks based on different technologies need to cooperate with each other for end-to-end QoS provisioning and to support a wide range of bandwidth intensive multi-media applications and services for a large number of clients. Furthermore, they should be capable of supporting user roaming and mobility. Such transformation incurs fundamental challenges on traditional theories, analyses, modeling and experimenting methods. The Communications QoS, Reliability and Modeling symposium emphasizes advances in the design, resource allocation, traffic control, and performance evaluation required to deliver quality services in the transformed networking infrastructure reliably. The symposium will provide an international technical forum for experts from industry and academia to exchange ideas and present results of ongoing research on the challenging issues related to the requirements, metrics, measurement, management, and dissemination, modeling as well as performance evaluation of emerging network services. To ensure complete coverage of the advances in QoS, reliability and performance modeling in computer and telecommunication networks the Communications QoS, Reliability and Modeling Symposium invites original contributions in, but not limited to, the following topical areas: . Application / Service Oriented Networking . Cross-layer Design, Modeling and Optimization . Design of Networks and Network Services . Design of Software Defined Networks .
