|| Scope ||
The Fifth ACM International Workshop
on Wireless Multimedia Networking and comPuting (WMuNeP) will be a one-day
workshop, held in conjunction with the 12th Annual ACM International
Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems
(MSWiM´09), in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain.
The demand for wireless multimedia
communications thrives in today's consumer and corporate market. The need to
evolve multimedia applications and services, and their associated protocols for
emerging networks is at a critical point given the proliferation and
integration of wireless systems to intelligent and broadband networks, mobility
of people, data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and
communication in mobile devices. This workshop is devoted to cover different
aspects of wireless multimedia networking and performance modeling
for WLANs, WPANs, WMANs, WWANs, MANETs, VANETs and sensor networks such
as wireless video and wireless streaming, systematic design
methodologies, algorithms, synchronization, analysis and performance
modeling. The workshop will provide a forum for researchers and
practitioners to present their contributions related to the above
high-level aspects.

|| Submission Guideliness ||
High-quality original papers are
solicited. Papers must be unpublished and must not be submitted for publication
elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed by Technical Program Committee members
and other experts active in the field to ensure high quality and relevance to
the conference.
Paper length should be no more than
10 pages, double column, ACM style including tables and figures. Note that the
regular paper size will be 8 pages, with the possibility to obtain up to 2
additional pages (total 10 pages) by paying a fee.Short papers might be
included in the technical program to complete it and foster discussion and idea
exchange. For all, at least one author of accepted papers must attend the
conference to present its contribution.
Papers must be submitted electronically
through the EasyChair system. The complete list of authors' names must be
inserted when registering the paper on the EasyChair system. In order to access
the EasyChair system you need to register first. Authors should check if they
already have an account on the EasyChair system; otherwise, they must create
one before submitting the paper.
