=
=========================

The International Conference on Selected Topics (iCOST’2012) in Mobile & Wireless Networking will be held in Avignon, France (http://lia.univ-avignon.fr/icost2012) from July 2 to 4, 2012. As an important part of the program at iCOST 2012, a limited number of workshops will be held in conjunction with the main conference.

The workshops aim to explore special topics and provide international forums for researchers to present their early research results and share experiences with focus on more specific research areas than the main conference. We solicit workshops in all areas and topics related to wireless networking, mobile computing, mobile and wireless communications, pervasive computing and networking, and its services and applications.

All papers accepted in iCOST 2012 workshops will be published in the iCOST 2012 Proceedings published by IEEE. The workshops will be held on July 2, 2012.

The workshop proposal should contain the following information: 1. The title of the workshop. 2. Biography of the main organizer(s) (100-200 words) 3. A brief description of the workshop (eg. the goals and its relevance to the main conference, etc.). 4. The names of potential program committee members (TPC). 5. Expected number of submissions, like contributors, and target audience. 6. A description of the publicity plan (including an URL address). 7. A draft call for papers (CFP).

To keep the production of the conference proceedings on track, we will use the following submission and acceptance deadlines for all accepted workshops: •	Paper submission deadline: March 15, 2012 •	Notifications: April 15, 2012 •	Final submission: May 1, 2012
