----------- (WMCNT 2011) -------------- IEEE 4th International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies

http://wmcnt.ntua.gr

3-5 October 2012 St. Petersburg, Russia

Scope ===== The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT2012) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems (ICUMT 2012) to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2012. Continuing the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2012 Workshop is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world.

Overview ======== Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers’ requirement for immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, the convergence of information communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological restrictions. Considering also the diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The understanding of these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless links and user mobility. The aim of the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2012) is to provide an international venue for the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing environments. WMCNT 2012 will serve as an open forum, where novel ideas will be exchanged via bringing together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and industry.

Workshop Topics =============== Authors are solicited to submit complete unpublished papers in the following, but not limited to, topic areas:

* QoS and Resource Allocation in Wireless/Mobile Networks * Radio Resource Management * Resource Allocation and Game Theory * Mobility Management and Billing Technologies in Wireless Networks * Mobile/Wireless Networks Modeling and Simulation * Heterogeneous Wireless Networks * Wired-Wireless Integration * End-to-End QoS * Protocols and Architecture for Wireless/ Mobile Networks * Security, Scalability, Reliability and Robustness in Wireless/Mobile Networks * Physical Security * Transport Layer Issues in Mobile and Wireless Networks * Cross-layer Issues * Wireless Access Techniques * Wireless Propagation and Channel Modeling * Wireless Communication Networks and Systems * Wireless System Services and Applications * Wireless / Mobile Internet * 2G - 3G - 4G Migration, Convergence and Interworking * WiFi, WiMAX, 3GPP LTE * OFDM and OFDMA Systems * Wireless LAN/PAN/BAN * Wireless Mesh Networks * Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks * Cognitive Radio Networks * Sensor Networks Technologies and Protocols * Mobile Social Networks * 3G, 4G, and beyond System * Spectrum Sensing and Signal Parameters Estimation * Experimental Systems and Field Trials * Planning and Standardization * Systems Interoperability * Reliable Broadcast/Multicast Wireless Technologies for Multimedia Applications * Performance Evaluation of New Wireless Standards for High-Quality Entertainment Environments

Proceedings =========== Prospective authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all

areas of computer networking and wireless communications. All papers will be peer reviewed by experts in the field and

accepted papers will be presented in oral sessions and published in the conference proceedings, included in IEEE Xplore

(approved). The submission process is carried through the EDAS conference management system (http://edas.info/). The manuscripts must follow the IEEE format. The maximum paper length is of eight (8) pages including tables and figures.

Submission of a regular paper implies that at least one of the authors will have a full registration to the Conference and present the paper upon the acceptance of the submission. Authors of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their work for possible inclusion into a special journal issue.

Important Dates Paper submission: June 15, 2012 Notification of acceptance: August 5, 2012 Camera ready version paper submission/Author Registration: September 1, 2012
