The Internet is being extended beyond its traditional boundaries (i.e., areas with network
infrastructure) through gradually incorporating a wide-range of challenging networks and autonomous
devices. From traditional wireless networks to opportunistic networks of mobile devices in urban 
environments and deep-space communications, the new approaches require an efficient integration 
with the traditional wired infrastructure. The need for novel all-weather protocols, clean-slate or 
evolutionary architectures, merging and assembling of different network technologies, unified 
operation and management of the heterogeneous components and supports for new multimedia 
services are only few examples of the wide range of technologies building-up this new global 
network. WWIC addresses research topics such as the design and evaluation of protocols, the 
dynamics of the integration, the performance tradeoffs, the need for new performance metrics and 
cross-layer interactions. The goal of the conference is to present high-quality results in the field, and 
to provide a framework for research collaboration through focused discussions that will designate 
future research efforts and directions. 

The proceedings will be published by Springer in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The 
maximum size of papers should be 14 pages including tables and figures. The cover page must 
contain an abstract of at least 70 and at most 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of 
author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address. In your submission, please 
adhere to the formatting standard for a 14-page manuscript of Springer-Verlag. There you will find 
templates for preparing the submission using either LaTeX (recommended) or Microsoft Word. Notice 
that in the submission phase we only accept a PDF document produced from the properly formatted 
original editable document.

Workshops: 
==========
A number of workshops will be co-located with the conference. Proposals should be sent to the workshop chair Ioannis Anagnostopoulos 
(janag at ucg.gr) by January 15, 2014. Information on workshops, submission deadlines and all other details will be posted on the conference website. 
Tutorials: Proposals are solicited for half day tutorials. A proposal (no more than 4 pages) should describe the significance, scope, and covered topics. Proposals 
should be sent to the tutorial chairs Sami Souihi (sami.souihi at u-pec.fr) or Isaac Woungang (iwoungan at scs.ryerson.ca) by February 15, 2014. Further information 
regarding the submission (format, proposal structure) will be posted on the conference website.
