CALL FOR PAPERS

International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 12) - Mobile Computing Symposium

EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Jan 20, 2012

(http://iwcmc.org/2012) Cyprus, August 27-31, 2012

_____________________________________________

Scope and Motivation _____________________________________________

The Mobile Computing Symposium aims at providing the state-of-the-art research towards understanding the fundamentals of mobile computing and networking system. Mobile Computing is expected to encompass heterogeneous access technologies and the Internet backbone for providing multimedia services to both mobile and stationary users. It poses significant technical challenges to enable broadband wireless access with seamless and ubiquitous coverage and quality-of-service provisioning.

The objective of this symposium is to serve as an international forum for experts from academia and industry to exchange ideas and results on research and development, and to promote and accelerate standardization, applications, and services of current and future wireless communication networks. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on all aspects in wireless networks, applications and services.
