WINSYS is organized by INSTICC - Institute for Systems and Technologies of Information, Control and Communication
SCOPE
The purpose of WINSYS 2007, the International Conference on Wireless Information Networks and Systems, is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on information systems and applications in the context of wireless networks and mobile technologies.
Information systems and information technology are pervasive in the whole communications field, which is quite vast, encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from practical issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of communication; from low level protocols to high-level networking and applications; from wireless networking technologies to mobile information systems; many other topics are included in the scope of WINSYS.
Ideas on how to analyze and approach problems by combining information systems and communication technologies, either in the scope of R&D projects, engineering or business applications, are welcome. Papers describing new methods or technologies, advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques and general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged. Papers describing original work are invited in any of the areas listed below. Accepted papers, presented at the conference by one of the authors, will be published in the Proceedings of WINSYS, with an ISBN. Acceptance will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Both full research reports and work-in-progress reports are welcome. There will be both oral and poster sessions.
The best papers will be selected to appear either in an international journal or in a book to be published by Springer.
Special sessions, case-studies and tutorials dedicated to technical/scientific topics related to the main conference are also envisaged: researchers interested in organizing a special session, or companies interested in presenting their products/methodologies or researchers interested in holding a tutorial are invited to contact the conference secretariat. Additional information can be found at http://www.winsys.org.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS
Authors should submit
a complete paper in English of up to 8 A4 pages, using the submission
procedure indicated below. The program committee will review all papers
and the contact author of each paper will be notified of the result,
by email. Each paper should clearly indicate the nature of its technical/scientific
contribution, and the problems, domains or environments to which it
is applicable. Authors must also indicate the conference track to which
the paper is submitted. The paper must be carefully checked for correct
grammar and spelling.
Paper submission
procedure
1.
A "blind" paper evaluation method will be used. To facilitate
that, the authors are kindly requested to produce and provide the full
paper, WITHOUT any reference to the authors. The manuscript must contain,
in its first page, the paper title, an abstract and a list of keywords
but NO NAMES OR CONTACT DETAILS WHATSOEVER are to be included in any
part of this file.
2.
The contact author will then use the WINSYS web-based submission facility
available at the conference web site, http://www.winsys.org/ to enter the contact information of all paper authors plus the file
indicated in point 1, above. The facility will automatically send a
submission acknowledgement, by email, to the author indicated as "contact
author". Please contact the secretariat
if no acknowledgement is received.
If the author is unable to use the web-based procedure then he/she
can send the paper by e-mail to the secretariat attaching an additional
file containing: the title, author(s), affiliation(s), contact
details, a list of keywords and an abstract. Authors must also
indicate the conference area (including the topics),
to which the paper is submitted.
The
camera-ready format will be enforced only for accepted papers, but authors
are encouraged to use it also for paper submissions, in order to reduce
extra work later. Two templates are provided
at the conference web site: one for Latex and another for MS Word.
Due to space limitations in the Proceedings, the camera-ready version
will be limited to 8 (eight) pages for full papers, 6 (six) for short
papers (progress reports) and 4 (four) for poster presentations. If absolutely
needed, the number of pages may be increased up to a maximum of
12 (long presentations), 8 (short presentations) and 6 (poster
presentations). However, for each page in excess of the maximum
allowed, the author will have to pay an additional fee.
PUBLICATIONS
WINSYS 2007 papers will be indexed by ISI, INSPEC and DBLP.
All accepted papers
will be published in the conference proceedings, under an ISBN reference,
in paper and in CD-ROM support.
A book including a selection of the
best conference papers will be edited and published by Springer.

VENUE
The conference will be held in Barceló Hotel Sants. The Barceló Hotel Sants is a deluxe hotel located in the heart of Barcelona. It stays about 15 minutes from the airport, 4 minutes to Plaza de Catalunya and 500 meters to the Fira de Barcelona. Considering the hotel is exactly above the train station, it allows traveling to anyplace. Most important is the fact that all the noise from the train station is undetected because the hotel is soundproofed. The Barcelo Hotel Sants also offers on site dining and is convenient to many shopping and entertainment venues.
