************************ FFCN-2013 CFP ***********************

The 2013 International Symposium on Frontier of Future Communication Networks will be held in conjunction with The 9th International Conference on Mobile Ad-hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN 2013)  http://www.lrm.sdu.edu.cn/ffcn2013/home.htm

The demand of next generation networks for communications has focused on the trend in technology and the efficiency. Driven by the fancy technologies and the applications, the provisioning of large-scaled and complicated communication networks is becoming an important research issue. Especially over the last few years, there has been an explosion of wireless subscribers and booming growth in the Internet both in terms of users and usage.  The trend has led to a new direction, and meanwhile brought many grand challenges to both industrial and academic communication communities. To overcome these challenges, it is necessary to seek new levels of research work on architecture, green networking, performance, and intelligence of future communication networks.

The purpose of FFCN-2013 is to bring together scientists, researchers, professionals, and practitioners from both industry and academia to share the opinions, seek the solutions, and report state-of-art research results. The topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

    Ad Hoc Networks and Sensor Networks
    Social Networks: Architecture, Theories and Technologies
    Perspective of Cognitive Networks and Development
    Applications and Technologies of Mobile Networks
    Systems, Architecture and Standardizations of Internet of Things
    Performance, Modelling, Analysis and Optimization of Computer Networking 
    Design and Development of IPv6
    Challenges and Issues of Bio-Networks
    Applications, Theories and Utilizations of Biomimicry Networks
