The scope of the selected poster papers includes, but is not limited to:

Cross-layer protocol design in wireless networks
Quality of Service provisioning in wireless access networks
Design, implementation/architectures related to QoS-enabled wireless networks
Energy-aware protocols and algorithms in wireless networks
QoS in WLAN, WPAN, WMAN and WiMAX (IEEE 802.11/15/16/20)
QoS in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks
QoS in cellular and satellite networks
QoS support across heterogeneous wired and wireless subnetworks
MAC protocols with QoS support
Scheduling, resource management, queue management, and admission control
QoS and survivability in mobile environments
Game-theoretic aspects in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks
Incentive engineering in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks
QoS routing in wired, peer-to-peer, overlay, and wireless networks
Traffic analysis, traffic engineering, and traffic shaping in heterogeneous environments
Cross-layer performance optimization for energy, network lifetime, and capacity
Topology control for QoS support in wireless networks
