IWCMC 2009 - The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2009)

"Connecting the World Wirelessly"

The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2009) will be held on June 21-24, 2009. Under the theme of "Connecting the World Wirelessly", IWCMC 2009 will target a wide spectrum of the state-of-the-art as well as emerging topics pertaining to wireless networks, wireless communications, and mobile computing. Continuing the great success of previous IWCM events, IWCMC 2009 is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among many academic pioneering researchers/ scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world.

The IWCMC 2009 program will feature a general symposium, with other technical symposia, workshops, invited presentations, panel sessions, and pioneering keynote speakers. Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers (electronically through EDAS: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6827&) to various IWCMC 2009 Symposia and workshops as listed below for possible publication in the IWCMC 2009 Conference Proceedings, which will be included in ACM/IEEE Digital Library (pending approval). Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in one of two special issues: the Wiley Journal of "Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC)," and "International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS)." There will also be best paper and best symposium awards.
