WoWMoM 2013 - Fourteenth International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

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. IEEE WoWMoM 2013 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications.
TOPICS OF INTEREST: 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 and applications
Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks
Ad-hoc, sensor, mesh and vehicular wireless networks
Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN
Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the In-ternet of Things
Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
Content-centric architectures, multimedia content man-agement and distribution for mobile networks
Localization mechanisms and services
Participatory and urban sensing
Mobile social networking
Resource management and QoS/QoE provisioning
Multicasting and broadcasting issues
Handoff/ mobility management
Network management and control
Dependability, reliability and survivability issues for wireless,
mobile and multimedia networks
Security and privacy issues for wireless, mobile and multimedia
networks
Energy-efficient protocols and power management
Seamless internetworking and self-organization
Modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation
Papers presented at the symposium will be considered for a Best Paper Award. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a fast track publication in the Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal (PMC).
WORKSHOPS, POSTERS and DEMOS: Proposals for full-day workshops to be held jointly with the symposium are solicited. The symposium will also in-clude a poster and demo session. Full details, including submission instructions, will be posted on the WoWMoM 2013 web site.
