SCOPE:
Original papers are invited on emerging architectures and technologies in
the design of wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless personal
area networks (WPANs) with emphasis on the use of such networks in diverse
areas of applications such as supporting ubiquitous mobile Internet access,
and the design of ad-hoc networks, and sensor networks.

TOPICS:
The symposium solicits high quality and previously unpublished work in the
field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Wireless Mesh Networks
* Medium access techniques and protocols for WLANs/WPANs
* Emerging standards and testbeds for WLANs/WPANs
* WLANs/WPANs protocols for smart antennas
* Energy efficiency in protocol and systems design
* Resource assignment and sharing in WLANs/WPANs
* Self configuration in WLANs/WPANs
* Provisioning quality of service in WLANs/WPANs
* Multimedia networking architectures and protocols for WLANs/WPANs
* Integration and interoperability of WLANs/WPANs and 3G (and beyond)
networks
* Interoperability issues between wireless standards/protocols and the
Internet
* User mobility and workload modeling
* Security issues in WLANs/WPANs
* OFDM Technology for Wireless LANs/PANs
* WLAN/WPAN based applications/Services

IMPORTANT DATES:
* Paper Submission Deadline: December 20, 2008
* Paper Acceptance Notification: March 25, 2009
* Camera-Ready Paper Submission: April 15, 2009
* Registration Deadline for Authors: April 15, 2009
* Conference Date: June 21-24, 2009

PAPER SUBMISSION:
Note that IWCMC papers are typically limited to six pages, including text,
figures and references, and must be written in English and must be in
standard ACM double-column format (unless mentioned otherwise on the
conference's main WEB page). The font size must be at least 10 points. All
submissions will be handled electronically and must be in PDF format.
Information on best paper awards and other details will be made available on
the IWCMC 2009 main page (www.engr.mun.ca/~licheng/iwcmc09).

All submitted papers would be judged based on their quality through a
peer-reviewing process. Accepted papers will be published in the Conference
Proceedings of IWCMC'09. Further instructions on paper submission and
formatting are available on the Conference Main Webpage. Paper submission
please go through the EDAS System, WLANs and WPANs Symposium
(http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6851&track=5109&).
