CALL FOR PAPERS

WoWMoM 2012 Thirteenth International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

http://wowmom2012.it.uc3m.es/

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

June 25-28, 2012 San Francisco, California, USA

**** Paper submission deadline: DECEMBER 2, 2011 ****

_____________________________________________

SCOPE 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
