In conjunction with The 14th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications (HPCC-2012)(Liverpool, UK. June 25-27, 2012)http://scim.brad.ac.uk/~hmibrahi/HPCC2012/

Call for Papers

The demand of next generation networks for communications has focused on the trend in technology and the efficiency. Driven by the fancy technologies and the applications, the provisioning of large-scaled and complicated communication networks is becoming an important research issue. Especially over the last few years, there has been an explosion of wireless subscribers and booming growth in the Internet both in terms of users and usage.  The trend has led to a new direction, and meanwhile brought many grand challenges to both industrial and academic communication communities. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to seek new levels of research work on architecture, green networking, performance, and intelligence of future communication networks.

The purpose of the 2012 International Symposium on Frontier of Future Communication Networks is to bring together scientists, researchers, professionals, and practitioners from both industry and academia to share the opinions, seek the solutions, and report state-of-art research results. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• Ad Hoc Networks and Sensor Networks
• Social Networks: Architecture, Theories and Technologies
• Perspective of Cognitive Networks and Development
• Applications and Technologies of Mobile Networks
• Systems, Architecture and Standardizations of Internet of Things
• Performance, Modelling, Analysis and Optimization of Computer Networking 
• Design and Development of IPv6
• Challenges and Issues of Bio-Networks
• Applications, Theories and Utilizations of Biomimicry Networks

Important Dates
