Special Session: *RESONANT:* Resource Optimization in Heterogeneous Wireless Next Generation Networks *IMPORTANT DATES* • Paper submission: May 1, 2013 • Notification of acceptance: July 15, 2013 • Camera-ready papers by: Aug. 10, 2013 Submit using EDAS : http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=13705&track=32801 Next generation communications will be composed of flexible, multi-tier, and scalable heterogeneous architectures, such as LTE-A and Mesh networking. High user mobility necessitates dynamic management from the network side to ensure end-to-end reliable and secure support of new services. In wireless networks, the medium alone creates additional challenges for efficiently providing QoS, due to its broadcast nature and uncertainty. Meanwhile, the proliferation of new services in the mobile market is driving the QoS requirements higher (in terms of performance indicators spanning throughput, delays, network coverage etc). Thus, an important challenge in future wireless communications is how to design and run cost efficient networks that optimize the key performance indicators to support the user requirements. Resource management and planning are key mechanisms that enable the efficient and effective operation of wireless networks, aiming to minimize the impact of interference and maximize the overall network performance. For next generation networks, where multiple heterogeneous networks (both in terms of network elements and in term of access technologies) will co-exist in the same geographical area, these mechanisms will be of key importance not only for a single network operation but for the smooth network cooperation, the optimal use of wireless spectrum and the provision of high quality services to the users. Taking into account the requirements, applications, and users, the developed mechanisms should be optimized in terms of performance, scalability, robustness, flexibility and energy efficiency. The purpose of this session is to bring together researchers focusing on resource management and optimization within the context of heterogeneous wireless networking. The intended audience spans academic and industrial researchers in the broader area of Wireless communications and networks. Prospective authors are invited to submit original, unpublished works on the following research topics, but not limited to: • Access network architectures and protocols optimization towards next generation wireless networks • Resource management mechanisms for future heterogeneous networks • Network planning • Quality of service in future heterogeneous networks • Optimized and robust dynamic spectrum access • Performance modeling of future networks • Scalability, robustness and resilience • Cross-layer design and optimization • Co-existence issues of future heterogeneous networks • Security, privacy and trust in next generation dynamic spectrum access networks • Heterogeneous network simulation models and techniques • Heterogeneous network applications, ranging from Smart Cities and IoT to Emergency Response. *RESONANT Session Chairs:* • Vangelis Angelakis, Linköping University (LiU), SWEDEN. • Elias Z.
