BlackSeaCom 2013 - Call For Papers First International Black Sea Conference on Communications and Networking 3-5 July 2013, Sheraton Hotel, Batumi, Georgia (http://www.blackseacom.net)
Technically Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society Scope of the Papers As the name suggests, the BlackSeaCom series of conferences will be held in the countries surrounding the Black Sea. The goal of BlackSeaCom is to bring together visionaries in academia, research labs, and industry from all over the world to the shores of the Black Sea. Here they will address many of the outstanding grand challenges that exist in the areas of communication and networking while having an opportunity to explore this exciting and dynamic region that has a rich history. The first edition of the conference will take place at the Sheraton Hotel on July 3, 4, and 5, 2013 in Batumi, Georgia -- a beautiful major port city on the Eurasian Crossroad. The theme of the conference, Communication and Networking in the Land of the Golden Fleece, is fitting for the chosen venue (Georgia) to set the goal of discovery and value in our field paralleling the ancient myth of the "Golden Fleece". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_fleece) We seek original completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Information theoretic analysis of wireless networks Communication protocols (transport, routing, link, and physical layers) Cross-layer design and optimization Theoretical analysis frameworks Resource management Energy efficiency, resiliency, reliability, and robustness Deployment scenarios and experiences Infrastructures, Platforms, test beds, and software Wireless networks, Ad hoc and mesh networks, Wireless sensor networks Cognitive radio networks Communication in challenging environments (underwater, underground, tunnels/mines, space, disasters) Internet of things Nano-scale networks Integration of heterogeneous networks Submission Guidelines Papers should describe original work and should be no more than 8 pages in the IEEE double-column proceedings format including tables, figures, and references.
