4th IEEE International Workshop on Smart Communication Protocols and Algo=
rithms (SCPA 2015)
June 8-12, 2015. London, UK
In conjunction with IEEE ICC 2015
http://scpa.it.ubi.pt/2015/

Selected papers will be invited to the Special Issue on Smart Protocols a=
nd Algorithms of the International Journal Network Protocols and Algorith=
ms (ISSN 1943-3581) or to the Special Issue on Recent Patents on Telecomm=
unications Journal ((Online)ISSN 2211-7415, (Print) ISSN 2211-7407)=20

Communication protocols and algorithms are needed to communicate network =
devices and exchange data between them. The appearance of new technologie=
s usually comes with a protocol procedure and communication rules that al=
lows data communication while taking profit of this new technology. Recen=
t advances in hardware and communication mediums allow proposing new rule=
s, conventions and data structures which could be used by network devices=
 to communicate across the network. Moreover, devices with higher process=
ing capacity let us include more complex algorithms that can be used by t=
he network device to enhance the communication procedure.=20

Smart communication protocols and algorithms make use of several methods =
and techniques (such as machine learning techniques, decision making tech=
niques, knowledge representation, network management, network optimizatio=
n, problem solution techniques, and so on), to communicate the network de=
vices to transfer data between them. They can be used to perceive the net=
work conditions, or the user behavior, in order to dynamically plan, adap=
t, decide, take the appropriate actions, and learn from the consequences =
of its actions. The algorithms can make use of the information gathered f=
rom the protocol in order to sense the environment, plan actions accordin=
g to the input, take consciousness of what is happening in the environmen=
t, and take the appropriate decisions using a reasoning engine. Goals suc=
h as decide which scenario fits best its end-to-end purpose, or environme=
nt prediction, can be achieved with smart protocols and algorithms. Moreo=
ver, they could learn from the past and !
 use this knowledge to improve futur
e decisions.=20

In this workshop, researchers are encouraged to submit papers focused on =
the design, development, analysis or optimization of smart communication =
protocols or algorithms at any communication layer. Algorithms and protoc=
ols based on artificial intelligence techniques for network management, n=
etwork monitoring, quality of service enhancement, performance optimizati=
on and network secure are included in the workshop.=20

We welcome technical papers presenting analytical research, simulations, =
practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specif=
ic proposals, and papers addressing the key problems and solutions. The t=
opics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, s=
tate of the art, standards, deployments, implementations, running experim=
ents and applications.=20
