Scope
The first IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking
Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE
International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT 2009) to be held
in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2009. The workshop will be a day long event.
This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two events covering a wide range
of research in mobile computing and ultra modern wireless communications.

Overview
The new social, economic and technological trends having evolved worldwide such as
the increasing demand for productivity and effectiveness with the pressure to
respond immediately to customer requirements have created increased need for access
to information anywhere in the world at anytime. Considering the present
telecommunication environment, which is an amalgamation of a large number of
networks and administrative domains employing various access technologies, combined
with the increased user mobility makes it difficult to promise the same grade of
service quality at all parts of the network. The convergence of information
communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities
for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological
restrictions.
The demanding networking environment of wireless communications imposes several
challenges in terms of network design, channel estimation, propagation and radio
resource management offering a variety of high quality multimedia applications.
Overcoming these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum
allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the
scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless
links, and user mobility.
The first IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking
Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09) serves as an open forum intending to promote discussion
and bring together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and
industry to exchange ideas and to submit novel unpublished works about architecture,
design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in mobile
and ubiquitous computing environments. The main purpose is to encourage research for
ultra modern wireless communication.

not limited to, topic areas:


? QoS in wireless/mobile systems

environments

Proceedings
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously
unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or
journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of
computer networking and data communications. All papers will be reviewed and
accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, included in IEEE
Xplore (approved). Papers must be submitted electronically in the EDAS. The maximum
size of papers should be 5000 words including tables and figures. The cover page
must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of
author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address. Authors
of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their
papers for consideration of publication in a special issue.
