WoWMoM 2012 - 2012 IEEE Thirteenth International Symposium on "A World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks" (WoWMoM)

IEEE WoWMoM 2012 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications.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 among 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 internetworking 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
