This workshop aims to discuss topics related to the role of software in wireless communications and networking. Given the explosive growth in the usage of cellphones worldwide, software on devices such as cellphones are specifically of interest, including applications, programming environments, operating systems, network protocols, wireless security and embdded software to realize the lower communication layers. The use of wireless technologies such as WiMax for broadband access is another key area of interest. Other networks of interest include personal area networks (PANs), wireless LANs, mesh networks, WiMax, hotspots, 3G and 4G networks. Submissions on emerging topics such as software-defined radios and cognitive radios are also encouraged. Discussion of applications such as Instant Messaging and SMS, Voice-over-IP, Push-to-talk and multimedia applications, along with their supporting technologies will be an integral part of this workshop. A critical examination of the role of open-source software in wireless communications is also welcome.
In addition to research contributions on the different aspects for wireless communication software, the workshop will also include papers that examine interesting practical problems, software diagnostic tools and techniques for analysing and measuring performance of wireless networks. Prospective authors are encouraged to contact the workshop co-chairs regarding any questions on the scope of the workshop.
