Scope: In Recent years, wireless and mobile communication systems have become increasingly popular as an inexpensive and promising means for ubiquitous communications. However, without creating a new set of issues and trade-offs. The performance and resource management of wireless and mobile communication systems are becoming a very crucial phase for future generation of wireless and mobile networks. This workshop focus upon the design, performance and resource management of wireless and mobile networks.

Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): - Performance and management of mesh and Bluetooth networks - Performance and resource management of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. - Performance and management of wireless multimedia systems. - Resource allocation. - Power and energy management. - Wireless network design and management. - Measurement, analysis, modeling, and generation. - Traffic measurement (wireless TCP, etc..). - Billing and wireless web services. - (3G/4G wireless billing systems, GPRS billing, etc..). - Web-Based wireless management. - Wireless security management. - Wireless Network planning. - Wireless Intelligent Networks. - Performance and Management of Broadband Wireless Management. - Management and monitoring of wireless and mobile systems. - User mobility modeling - Topology construction and maintenance - Interoperability, and performance of heterogeneous wireless networks of different standards

All accepted papers will appear in the IEEE LCN Proceedings. At least one author must attend and present the paper.

Important Dates: - Paper registration deadline:May 23rd 2008 - Paper submission deadline: May 30th, 2008. - Notification of acceptance: June 30, 2008. - Camera-ready paper due: July 28, 2008. - Author registration by: July 28, 2008.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: Authors are invited to submit full or short papers for presentation at the conference. Full papers (no more than 10 camera-ready pages, 10pt font in IEEE format) should present novel perspectives within the general scope of the workshop.
