WOWMOM 2015 - IEEE Sixteenth International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

IEEE WoWMoM 2015 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications.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 testbeds, 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 Internet of Things
Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
Content-centric architectures, multimedia content management 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 and 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
System prototypes, measurements, real deployment, and experiences
Modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation
AWARDS AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UP
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.
PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS. You can find detailed submission instructions at: http://csr.bu.edu/wowmom15
Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend the conference and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2015 and published in the IEEE Digital Library. WoWMoM organizers reserve the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., removal from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
IMPORTANT DATES
Abstract submission deadline: November 21, 2014
Full manuscript due: November 28, 2014
Acceptance notification: March 13, 2015
WORKSHOPS AND AFFILIATED EVENTS
Several workshops will be held in conjunction with the main conference. Workshop papers will be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (Xplore), showing their affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. WoWMoM 2015 will also feature an Industry Track, PhD Forum and a Demonstrations Session.
