------------------------------------------------------------------------

CALL FOR PAPERS

WoWMoM 2011
Twelfth International Symposium on a
World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

http://wowmom2011.imtlucca.it/

sponsored by
IEEE Computer Society,
University of Texas at Arlington,
IEEE CS TC on Computer Communications (TCCC)

June 20-24, 2011
Lucca, Tuscany, Italy

------------------------------------------------------------------------

**** SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 21, 2010 *******

------------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE WoWMoM 2011 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers
addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of wireless,
mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications.
The evolution of wireless networking technologies and their key role in
Future Internet scenarios offer an increasing wealth of opportunities
for distributing multimedia contents over wireless networks, enabling
dissemination of professional contents to mobile users as well as
sharing user-generated contents between them. Users will be able to
retrieve, publish, and manage information, communicate with other users
or devices, access and author services, create and exploit context-
awareness 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-trials, or
real deployments, are also welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wireless multimedia systems,services&applications
- System prototypes, measurements, real deployment, and experiences
- Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks
- Mobile Social Networking
- Participatory and urban sensing
- Energy-efficient protocols and power management
- Seamless inter-networking and self-organization
- Networking services for pervasive systems
- Content-centric architectures, multimedia content management and
distribution for mobile networks
- Ad-hoc, Sensor and wireless mesh networks
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN
- Vehicular wireless networks
- Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Quality of Service and Quality of Experience
- Location mechanism and services
- Multicasting and broadcasting issues
- Handoff and mobility management
- Network management and control
- IP-based mobile networks and wireless multimedia services
- Wireless security, dependability, reliability and survivability
- Authentication, authorization, and accounting
- Modeling and performance evaluation
