5th IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on Wireless & Mobile Computing, Networking & communication

Marrakech, Morocco, on October 12th-14th, 2009. http://conferences.computer.org/wimob2009/ ------------------------------------------------------------------ Keynotes: - TWO Keynote speakers for WiMob 2009: -- Professor Khaled Ben Letaief Title: Realizing the “Anything Anybody Anywhere Anyhow Anytime” Ultimate Wireless Revolution -- Professor Mario Gerla Title: Vehicular Urban Sensing: Techniques and Applications -------------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE: ------

The research area of mobile computing has become more important following the recent widespread drive towards mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks and vehicular ad hoc networks tracking technologies and their applications. The availability of the high bandwidth 3G infrastructures, and the pervasive deployment of low cost WiFi infrastructure and WiMAX to create hotspots around the world serve to accelerate the development of mobile computing towards ubiquitous computing.

WiMob’09 addresses three main areas:

Wireless Communications Mobile Networking, Mobility and Nomadicity Ubiquitous Computing, Services and Applications

This conference aims to stimulate interactions among participants and enable them to exchange new ideas and practical experience. WiMob’09 is the fifth in a series of annual conferences: two times in Montréal (QC), Canada in 2005 and 2006 and in New York, USA in 2007 and the last one in Avignon, France 2008.

IMPORTANT DATES: ---------------- Paper submission due: June 1, 2009 Notification of acceptance: August 1, 2009 Final manuscripts due: August 20, 2009
