****************************************** IEEE WoWMoM 2022 – CALL FOR PAPERS 23rd IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks https://computing.ulster.ac.uk/WoWMoM2022 ******************************************

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW IEEE WoWMoM 2022 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances in the areas of wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking as well as ubiquitous and pervasive systems and applications. Wireless networking technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical part of modern life, be it for communication services, media distribution, or sensing and actuation services within the Internet of Things (IoT) context. Appropriate resource management, applications design, and architectural networking paradigms are necessary to provide users with high quality experience in multimedia communication and services. Edge computing and data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming essential tools to cope with the increasing diversity of connected devices and the plethora of new data-intensive and latency-sensitive applications requested by end-users. At the same time, the interoperability among IoT environments (including wearable computing and sensors), the network edge, and the cloud are leading towards an edge-cloud continuum that is expected to support a more efficiently diverse range of application domains and services. In this context, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding the behavior of such complex systems is of paramount importance. IEEE WoWMoM 2022 takes a broad view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking and applications. We solicit papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. We also welcome practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field trials, or real deployments.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously unpublished work not currently under review by another conference, workshop, or journal. Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process, and all submissions must be made electronically through EDAS (register your paper now!). Authors can submit regular or work-in-progress papers (appropriate category to be selected upon submission).

REGULAR PAPERS Regular papers submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 points or greater. WORK IN PROGRESS PAPERS Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research and to obtain feedback from their peers in a poster session. Work-in-progress papers submissions may be up to 4 pages in length (including figures and references) and must have a prefix "WIP:" in the paper's title. IMPORTANT DATES (main conference)

Paper submission deadline (main conference): December 15, 2021 Notification deadline: March 15, 2022 Paper camera-ready deadline: April 15, 2022

ACCEPTED PAPERS An author of an accepted paper is required to register for the conference at the full (member or non-member) rate, and the paper must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference, unless a written request before the conference for a substitute presenter with compelling reasons is sent to the TPC Co-Chairs and permission is granted. Accepted papers (both regular and WIP) will be included in the proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2022 and will be made available through the IEEE Xplore digital library. All conference proceedings must meet IEEE's quality standards, and IEEE reserves the right not to publish any proceedings that do not meet these standards. Furthermore, IEEE reserves the right to remove papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference, for unjustified reasons. JOURNAL FAST TRACK Extended versions of selected papers from IEEE WoWMoM 2022 will be invited for possible publication in the Elsevier journals: Computer Communications (Impact factor 3.167), and Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Impact factor 3.453).

AWARDS

All accepted regular papers will be considered for the Best Paper Award. A committee will select the three best paper candidates based on the reviews received. The winner will also be decided based on the quality of the presentation and announced during the conference. For any additional information, please contact the PC chairs (eirini@unm.edu , carla.chiasserini@polito.it)
