– The Greek Island of Rhodes, Greece –

Scope

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.

The goal of the work-in-progress session is two-fold:

• To provide the opportunity for attendees to present and discuss preliminary results from their latest work obtaining some early feedback from the community
• To provide the opportunity to present position papers on emerging hot topics in the field of performance engineering motivating new research directions

Work-in-progress papers present promising preliminary results that may not have been fully validated yet. Although full validation is not required, the work presented should be advanced enough to allow attendees to appreciate its scope and significance.

Highlights

• The conference proceedings will be archived by IEEE Xplore.

• 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.

Publication

Accepted papers will be published in the Qshine Conference Proceedings, archived byIEEE Xplore and submitted for inclusion in the databases of leading indexing services. We reserve the right to exclude papers accepted but not presented from the conference proceedings submitted for archiving and indexing.

Paper Submission

Work-in-Progress submissions will be selected after a review process. The process has been designed to acknowledge the early-stage nature of the work.

Please visit the Submission page for detailed submission requirements and procedures.

Submission of the paper implies agreement of the author(s) to attend the conference and present the paper if accepted. For additional information see the registration information page.
