##### We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP ###### ---CALL FOR PAPERS---- ************************************************************************ Seventh International Conference on Broadband, Wireless Computing, Communication and Applications (BWCCA-2013) ************************************************************************ Submission Deadline: April 28, 2013 (http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/BWCCA-2013) to be held at the University of Technology of Compiegne, France October 28-30, 2013 In conjunction with 3PGCIC-2013 International Conference (http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~net4all/3PGCIC-2013) ******Technical sponsorship: IEEE France***** ***************************************** CONFERENCE AIMS ***************************************** Communication networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different kinds of networks with different characteristics are emerging and they are integrating in heterogeneous networks. For these reasons, there are many interconnection problems which may occur at different levels in the hardware and software design of communicating entities and communication networks. These kinds of networks need to manage an increasing usage demand, provide support for a significant number of services, guarantee their QoS, and optimize the utilization of network resources. Therefore, architectures and algorithms in these networks become very complex and it seems imperative to focus on new models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can enable the network to perform adaptive behaviors. The aim of BWCCA is to present the innovative researches, and technologies as well as developments related to broadband networking, mobile networking, wireless communications and applications. ***************************************** CONFERENCE TOPICS ***************************************** The aim of this conference is to present the innovative researches, and technologies as well as developments related to broadband networking, mobile networking and wireless communications.
