------------------------------------------------------------------------ IEEE WiMob 2013 The 9th IEEE International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Computing, Networking and Communications 7 - 9 October 2013 Lyon, France http://conferences.computer.org/WiMob2013

CALL FOR PAPERS

The IEEE WiMob conference is an international forum for the exchange of experience and knowledge among researchers and developers concerned with wireless and mobile technology. For nine years, the International IEEE WiMob conference has provided unique opportunities for researchers to interact, share new results, show live demonstrations, and discuss emerging directions in Wireless Communications, Mobile Networking and Ubiquitous Computing.

IEEE WiMob 2013 will be held at the prestigious hotel Sofitel 5*, Lyon, France, located between the rivers Rhone and Saone. Lyon, 2nd city of France, is a very exciting place. Since 2'000 years of history, Lyon has played a key (major role in France: birthplace of Cinema, silk capital of the world, Gastronomic capital of France and the cuisine capital of the world, Lyon is also the second largest Renaissance city after Venice. The historical place of Vieux Lyon was declared World Cultural Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1998.

IEEE WiMob 2013 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research challenges in the areas of wireless communications, wireless networking, mobility, nomadicity, ubiquitous computing, services and applications. Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or experimentation. Practical experiences and Testbed trials also are welcome. IEEE WiMob 2013 will host three parallel symposiums, including but not limited to the following topics:

1. Wireless Communications
