You are invited to submit original papers addressing topics in all areas of wireless communication systems and networks. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the technical subject categories listed below:
Management - Resource and Information Management - Pricing and Billing Issues Architecture - Convergence of Fixed and Mobile - Hybrid Communications System Devices - Low-Power End-Devices and Wireless Communications Security - Security in Mobile and Wireless Networks QoS - Adaptive Quality of Service Provisioning - End-to-end Quality of Service Mobility Support - Handoff Algorithms - IP and Mobility - Mobility and Connection Management in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks - Policy-based Mobility Management Applications - Personal Communications - Location and Context Management - Smart Media - Mobile Code - Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks Applications Access - Wireless IP - Wireless Multimedia Services - Wireless Local Loop (WLL) - Multiple Access Technology - Broadband Wireless Access Networking - Wireless Personal Area Networks - Wireless Local Area Networks - Mobility and Nomadic Computing - Analysis and Simulation of Mobile Network Protocols - Home Networking - Mobile Ad-hoc Networks and the Internet - Mobile Ad-Hoc Networking Routing - Satellite Networks
The official language of the conference for submission of a paper and or an extended abstract and view graphs is English. This conference will identify the theoretical and actual problems that face designers of today's complex problems associated with mobile and wireless communications networks. The participants will show test results of experiments from building prototype systems, explore modeling and simulation tools as well as analytical methodologies and techniques for dealing with wireless systems.
The objective of this event is to foster the exchange of information among researchers in this fast-moving field. The program will include presentations by distinguished researchers, speaking on recent advances in theory and practice. This conference also intends to bring together various mobile and wireless network systems developers to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of workshops, business applications sessions and tutorials. It is also intended to provide a timely forum for exploratory research and practical contributions from North America, Europe, The Middle East, and the Far East.
Guidelines for Submission Papers are invited on the conference theme and related topics. The original submission containing affiliation and full contact information of the authors should be addressed to the TPC chairs by the date indicated above based on the following instructions: Extended abstract should be in English, with no more than 1500 words and submitted to http://mwcn2003.lri.fr/REG-paper/ The paper should include an abstract of about 150 words, and must not exceed Accepted formats include Microsoft Word, PostScript and PDF.
