CON-WIRE 2010 (1st IEEE International Workshop on Convergence of Heterogeneous Wireless Systems) is a workshop in association with ICCCN 2010, to be held at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, August 2–5, 2010. Future Internet envisions the synergy among heterogeneous wireless communications will co-exist providing the end user the “flexibility and choice”, to improve his/her quality of life. The integration of heterogeneous networks in multi-access and multi-operator environment is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be “Always Best Connected” (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained.

CON-WIRE will collect latest research ideas and issues on the convergence among heterogeneous wireless systems in Future Internet. We solicit papers that cover a variety of topics including, but not limited to:
