Wired/Wireless Internet Communications: Third International Conference, WWIC 2005, Xanthi, Greece, May 11-13, 2005, Proceedings (Computer Communication Networks and Telecommunications) (Lecture Notes in Computer Science)

Welcome to the 3rd International Conference on Wired/Wireless Internet C- munications (WWIC). After a successful start in Las Vegas and a selective c- ference in Germany, this year's WWIC demonstrated the event's maturity. The conference was supported by several sponsors, both international and local, and became the o?cial venue for COST Action 290. That said, WWIC has now been established as a top-quality conference to promote research on the convergence of wired and wireless networks. This year we received 117 submissions, which allowed us to organize an - citing program with excellent research results, but required more e?ort from the 54 members of the international Program Committee and the 51 additional reviewers. For each of the 117 submitted papers we asked three independent - viewers to provide their evaluation. Based on an online ballot phase and a TPC meeting organized in Colmar (France), we selected 34 high-quality papers for presentation at the conference. Thus, the acceptance rate for this year was 29%.
