Call for Papers

Technology evolution is driving toward a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications where users can seamlessly and ubiquitously accomplish their tasks, access information or communicate with other users anytime, anywhere, and by any device. WoWMoM 2005 technical program committee is soliciting papers addressing the research challenges toward a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications. Two types of contributions will be accepted:

FULL PAPERS. Full Papers must present original, previously unpublished, complete works, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. Practical experiences and experimental efforts are welcome.

POSITION PAPERS. Papers in this category must be visionary, innovative and forward-looking. They must offer new perspectives opening future research directions, rather than by presenting mature work with quantitative results. Only a limited number of slots will be available for position papers that will be reviewed primarily for relevance and originality.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • System prototypes and experiences
  • Software technologies and systems
  • QoS for real-time voice and video in wireless networks
  • Interactive broadband television, gaming, and video distribution
  • Middleware support for QoS provision
  • Caching and content management in WLANs and WMANs
  • Differentiated services in wireless multimedia networks
  • IP-based multimedia services over wireless networks
  • Networking services for ambient intelligence and pervasive environments
  • Multicasting and broadcasting problems and solutions
  • Handoff and mobility management
  • Seamless internetworking
  • IP-based mobile networks
  • Location mechanism and services
  • Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, and MAN
  • Ad hoc and sensor networks
  • Vehicular wireless networks
  • Access technologies
  • Third and fourth generation systems
  • Energy-efficient protocols and power management
  • Wireless security and dependability
  • Pricing and billing
  • Modeling and Performance evaluation

Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal.  For guidelines on paper submission and formatting see submission instructions.

Accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE.

Call for papers in .pdf format (95 kb)

Paper submission

Paper submitted to IEEE WoWMoM 2005 should neither have been published elsewhere, nor currently under review by another conference or journal.

Papers must be submitted via Colibrì.

Two types of submissions will be accepted:

FULL PAPERS. Full Papers must present original, previously unpublished, complete works, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. Practical experiences and experimental efforts are welcome.

POSITION PAPERS. Papers in this category must be visionary, innovative and forward-looking.

As accepted papers will appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE, we recommend to format manuscripts according to the IEEE double-column  standard format, except the font size, which must be Times Roman 11pt (or greater). Authors should use only standard fonts, i.e.,  Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and Helvetica, or equivalent. The maximum length of the manuscript is 12 pages. This limit includes figures, appendix, bibliography, etc. Papers that will be significantly exceed this limit will be automatically rejected.

All papers should be submitted in PDF (Portable Document Format). Postscript files are also acceptable though not preferred. The paper may be submitted in a compressed form (gzip, but not zip).
