=DETAILED CFP ====================

The focus theme for WoNGeN 2008 is Next Generation wireless Internet including GENI. GENI is an NSF sponsored program that is widely tipped to become a form of future Internet. However, WoNGeN 2008 is focused not only on GENI but also all pertaining issues associated with next generation Internet design and performance evaluation including next generation wireless Internet. If you have any specific questions on the topic and to check if your paper falls in the focus area, please contact the workshop TPC chairs (wongen2008 at gmail dot com) or the General Chairs for checking the suitability of your paper. A Best Paper Award will be presented to the authors of the highest quality paper among the accepted papers.

Original and unpublished research contributions are invited from the areas including but not limited to the following:

* Next Generation Wireless Internet Design * Multimedia support for next generation Internet * Mobile federation architectures * Cognitive network architectures for future Internet * Solutions for GENI control plane * Issues and concerns for GENI architectures * Revolutionary designs for next generation architectures * Scalability solutions for VoIP over Next Generation Internet * Cross layer architectures for next generation Internet * Prototypes of next generation Internet architectures * Performance analysis of next generation wireless networks * Performance modeling techniques for next generation wireless networks * Solutions for multi-media support in next generation wireless networks * Architectures for next generation wireless networks * GENI federation architectures * Results from GENI prototypes and testbed * Cognitive network controller design * Performance evaluation of cognitive networks

Submission Details:

In a deviation from the traditional IEEE/ACM technical papers which are basically in the form of written document, WoNGeN 2008, for the first time (to the best of our belief), introduces the concept of multimedia technical papers. Each paper to be submitted to WoNGeN 2008 can contain an 8-15 minute long video clip that authors want to explain, for example, a crucial concept beyond the written words, convey the significance of an equation/formula, or complement the written information by a simple overall presentation. This extended form of authors communicating with the readers, using video presentation, is only a complementary method to clarify complex concepts and therefore, the acceptance decision will be based entirely on the written information. Therefore, the multimedia paper format is optional for the initial submission, however, it is mandatory for the camera ready version. Nevertheless, we encourage authors to participate in this (probably historical) experiment.

Papers must be written in English. Authors must include their names and affiliations on submitted papers, and papers must include a title and an abstract of no more than 250 words. Papers must be submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF) format. Paper submission deadline is September 17, 2008, 11:59 PM PDT. Authors must follow Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format for preparing their manuscripts. The page limit is 12 pages for full papers and 8 pages for short papers, including figures, multimedia clips, tables, and references. Note that 12 pages under LNCS format are much less than 12 pages under IEEE format, so be mindful of this when preparing your manuscripts for submission at WoNGeN 2008. The accepted papers will be published as part of the IEEE HiPC 2008 conference proceedings on a CD-ROM.
