CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE WoWMoM 2008 is soliciting original and previously unpublished
papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of
wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications. The emergence
of wireless network standards and their future evolutions offer exciting
new opportunities for delivering rich multimedia content over wireless
networks. Users will be able to seamlessly and ubiquitously accomplish
their tasks such as accessing and retrieving information, communicating
with other users or devices, exploiting advanced context-dependent
services, and so on.

Papers that present original work, validated by experimentation,
simulation, or analysis, are solicited. Practical experiences and
experimental efforts from both industry and academy, duly documenting
the lessons learned from test-beds, field-trial, or real deployments,
are also welcome.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

- System prototypes and experiences
- QoS for voice and video in wireless/mobile networks
- Middleware support for QoS provision
- Networking services for pervasive systems
- Context-aware wireless multimedia applications
- Location mechanism and services
- Content management and distribution
- IP-based wireless/mobile multimedia services
- IP-based wireless/mobile networks
- Multicasting and broadcasting issues
- Energy-efficient protocols and power management
- Handoff and mobility management
- Seamless internetworking and self-organization
- Network management and control
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN, WAN, and RAN
- Ad-hoc and mesh networks
- Vehicular networks
- Wireless Sensor Networks
- Opportunistic Networking
- Security, privacy and dependability
- Pricing and accounting
- Modeling and performance evaluation

-----------------------------------
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
-----------------------------------
Papers should contain original material and not be previously published,
or currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. Guidelines on paper
submission and formatting will be provided on the website. All submitted
papers will undergo a rigorous review process managed by the technical
program committee. Accepted papers will appear in the symposium
proceedings published by the IEEE Computer Society.

-----------------------------------
WORKSHOPS
-----------------------------------
The IEEE WoWMoM 2008 technical program will also include one-day
workshops on hot topics on wireless, mobile and multimedia networks.
Workshop proposals should be submitted to the Workshops Chair Roger
Zimmerman (rzimmerm@imsc.usc.edu) by October 1, 2007.
