WMNC 2012 - 5th Joint IFIP Wireless Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC'2012)

WMNC 2012 takes place during 19th-21st September 2012 in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The 5th Joint IFIP Wireless Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC'2012) is sponsored by IFIP TC6.
WMNC'2012 combines the 17th PWC (Personal Wireless Communications conference), the 14th MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks conference), and the 6th WSAN (Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks conference) into one event. It will be held from 19th to 21st September 2012 in Bratislava, Slovakia. WMNC‘2012 provides forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners and students interested in new developments in mobile and wireless networks, services, applications and mobile computing.
