CALL FOR PAPERS

WoWMoM 2011 Twelfth International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

http://wowmom2011.imtlucca.it/

sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, University of Texas at Arlington, IEEE CS TC on Computer Communications (TCCC)

June 20-24, 2011 Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

------------------------------------------------------------------------

**** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 21, 2010 *******

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE WoWMoM 2011 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications. The evolution of wireless networking technologies and their key role in Future Internet scenarios offer an increasing wealth of opportunities for distributing multimedia contents over wireless networks, enabling dissemination of professional contents to mobile users as well as sharing user-generated contents between them. Users will be able to retrieve, publish, and manage information, communicate with other users or devices, access and author services, create and exploit context- awareness and so on. Papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis, are solicited. Practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academy, duly documenting the lessons learned from test-beds, field-trials, or real deployments, are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Wireless multimedia systems,services&applications - System prototypes, measurements, real deployment, and experiences - Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks - Mobile Social Networking - Participatory and urban sensing - Energy-efficient protocols and power management - Seamless inter-networking and self-organization - Networking services for pervasive systems - Content-centric architectures, multimedia content management and distribution for mobile networks - Ad-hoc, Sensor and wireless mesh networks - Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN - Vehicular wireless networks - Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Quality of Service and Quality of Experience - Location mechanism and services - Multicasting and broadcasting issues - Handoff and mobility management - Network management and control - IP-based mobile networks and wireless multimedia services - Wireless security, dependability, reliability and survivability - Authentication, authorization, and accounting - Modeling and performance evaluation

AWARDS AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers presented at the Symposium will be considered for a Best Paper Award. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a fast track publication in the Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC).

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS. You can find detailed submission instructions at http://wowmom2011.imtlucca.it/submission.html

******************* Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the conference and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2011 and published in the IEEE Digital Library. WoWMoM organizers reserve the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. *******************

IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Manuscript submission deadline: November 21, 2010. - Manuscript acceptance notification: March 18, 2011.
