 CALL FOR PAPERS
 
 10th International Conference on Heterogeneous
 Networking for Quality, Reliability, Security and
 Robustness
 18-19 August 18--19, 2014
 The Greek Island of Rhodes, Greece
 
 http://qshine.org/2014/show/home
 ===============================================================================================
 
 Computer networking has been
 embracing increased heterogeneity since its inception, in
 terms of the range of the applications it has to support,
 the various communication technologies it can run on, and
 the hierarchical, hybrid and heterogeneous techniques it has
 to rely on to meet the challenges from both the diverse
 application requirements and communication technologies.
 
 The only conference focusing
 on heterogeneous networking, QShine has been established as
 the primary venue for researchers and practitioners to
 disseminate, exchange and discuss all recent advances
 related to heterogeneous networking, particularly for
 quality, experience, reliability, security and
 robustness.
 
 As a conference
 series held in three major continents so far, QShine-2014
 comes to the Greek Island of Rhodes, with the technical
 co-sponsorship of the IEEE Greece Section.
 
 Original submissions, not
 under any concurrent reviews, are solicited in all areas
 related to heterogeneous wired, wireless and hybrid networks
 varying from sensor, vehicle, cellular, ad hoc, enterprise,
 datacenter, to service-provider and overlay networks,
 ranging from in/on-body,
 personal/local/metropolitan/wide-area, to
 intra/inter-planetary scales.
 
 HIGHLIGHTS
 
 The
 event is endorsed by the European Alliance for Innovation, a
 leading community-based organisation devoted to the
 advancement of innovation in the field of ICT. Qshine 2014
 will be collocated with the International Conference on Ad
 Hoc Networks,† AdHocNets. The conference proceedings will
 be archived by IEEE Xplore. Selected papers, particularly
 those nominated for the Best Paper competition, will be
 automatically considered for publication in the special
 issues of Springer Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)
 journal (SCIE-indexed) and will be invited to publish in the
 EAI Endorsed Transactions on Mobile Communications and
 Applications.
