*WASCOM 2014: 1th IEEE International Workshop on Adaptive Systems for 
Communication Networks
in conjuction with IEEE COMPSAC July 22-24 2014, Västeras, Sweden*


*Workshop Schedule and Important Due Dates:*

/Deadline for paper submission:/March 23, 2014

/Notification of acceptance:/April 20, 2014

/Camera ready due and registration deadline:/ April 28, 2014

/Submission:/Papers must be submitted electronically via the WASCOM 2014 
Submission Page : http://compsac.cs.iastate.edu/wascom2014.php

The format of submitted papers should follow the guidelines for the IEEE 
conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully reviewed by at 
least three reviewers. Papers should be no more than 6 pages. Accepted 
papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of COMPSAC 2014, by 
the IEEE Computer Society Press. At least one of the authors of each 
accepted paper must register as a participant of the workshop and 
present the paper at the workshop, in order to have the paper published 
in the proceedings.


*About WASCOM 2014:*

The 38th Annual International Computers, Software & Applications 
Conference, sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Cloud 
Computing Initiative, will be held in Vasteras, Sweden from 21st - 25th 
July 2014. It is one of the major international forums for academia, 
industry, and government to discuss research results, advancements, and 
future trends in computer, software technology, and applications. The 
2014 Workshop on Adaptive Systems for Communication Networks (WAS'COM 
2014) will be co-located with the main conference.

*Goal of the Workshop:*

The aim of this workshop is to discuss and advance the state of the art, 
research and development in the area of adaptive systems, technologies, 
and mechanisms for communication networks, and to promote the study of 
both fundamental and practical aspects of their relevance to a smart 
environment. The workshop addresses researchers from different 
disciplines in academia and industry, as well as practitioners, who 
share interests in adaptive protocols, algorithms, and network services. 
The focus will be on techniques and experiences drawn from current, as 
well as on emergent topics.

*Theme of the Workshop:*

Internet is continuously increasing in size and complexity. At the very 
beginning, it has been originally designed for fixed networks, where few 
agents and services were deployed. With the introduction of mobile and 
heterogeneous systems (e.g. networks, services), the properties of 
Internet are no longer adapted to this type of dynamic architectures. 
Thus, these heterogeneity and mobility properties are becoming an 
important challenge from a performance and network management point of 
view. Adaptive techniques for communication networks seem to represent 
an interesting approach in order to deal with the heterogeneity and 
mobility of new and future services. The sphere of adaptive systems can 
be also extended to enhance intelligent system performances by providing 
new flexible algorithms for communication and network management. This 
workshop emphasizes the recent research advances in terms of new 
protocols, algorithms or services dedicated to communication networks 
that embrace an adaptive behavior. WASCOM 2014 calls for submissions 
that address smart mechanisms for networks such as collaborative agents, 
adaptive routing, or intelligent network resource allocation. Besides, 
these topics could be investigated from a network service or usage point 
of view. Another interesting property of adaptive mechanisms is the 
trade-off of several parameters (e.g. quality of service, security, 
energy consumption) in order to optimize their mutual impact and provide 
the best service to the final user.

*Scope of the Workshop:*

This workshop aims at soliciting high quality, original and unpublished 
work in the field of adaptive communication networking. Topics of 
interests include (but are not limited to):

? Adaptive agents (self adaptive, context aware agents, user aware 
agents, etc)

? Trust model, privacy, and security in adaptive agents

? Adaptive applications for smart environment

? Adaptive virtualization

? Adaptive monitoring systems

? Fault tolerant adaptive systems

? Adaptive topologies in ad hoc wireless networks

? Collaborative agents: applications to networking and communication 
networks

? Trade-off between Quality of Service (QoS), security and energy

? Cross-layering approaches for network communication optimization

? Smooth integration of heterogeneous services

? Resource aware networks, models and architectures

? Adaptive network resource sharing and allocation techniques

? Adaptive congestion control and scalability issues

? Adaptive routing

? Adaptive handover (fast handover, vertical handover)

? Mobility and traffic models of adaptive systems and environment

? Modeling and performance assessment of adaptive protocols and 
architectures

? State of the art of any of the topics listed above.
