ABOUT MWCN'2008
-----------------------------
Wireless and mobile networks, applications and services are rapidly growing
areas that have attracted significant attention due to their potential
impacts on the quality of life in multiple domains (health, emergency
services, disaster recovery, commerce, shopping, TV, games…). To enable
wireless and mobile computing, it is necessary to integrate technologies
from the fields of distributed computing, networking, communications and
signal processing.

MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communications Networks) and PWC (Personal
Wireless Communications) are two conferences sponsored by IFIP WG 6.8 that
provide forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners and
students interested in new developments in mobile and wireless networks,
services, applications and computing.
In 2008, MWCN and PWC are coupled to form the first edition of IFIP
Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC). MWCN and PWC topics are
revisited in order to make them complementary and covering together the
main hot issues in wireless and mobile networks, services, applications,
computing, and technologies.
MWCN'2008 is the tenth conference of this series sponsored by IFIP WG 6.8
and will be held in Toulouse (France) from 15 to 16 September 2008. The
conference will consist of two days of scientific presentations. Previous
events were held in Cork (Ireland) in 2007, Santiago (Chile) in 2006,
Marrakech (Morocco) in 2005, Paris (France) in 2004, Singapore in 2003,
Stockholm (Sweden) in 2002, and Recife (Brazil) in 2001.

Call for Papers

Wireless pervasive computing is a rapidly growing area that has
attracted significant attention due to its potential impact on the
quality of life. To enable wireless pervasive computing, it is
necessary to integrate technologies from the fields of distributed
computing, networking, communications and signal processing. The aim
of this symposium is to provide a platform for researchers in the area
of wireless pervasive computing and related areas to showcase their
results, launch new ideas, as well as to interact with other
researchers.

The scope of the symposium, which is technically co-sponsored by
several IEEE Technical Committees, covers enabling technologies of
wireless pervasive computing. A series of panels and tutorials will
also seek to inform and invoke interaction among researchers.
