The 11th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC) is going to be held in Prague, the Czech Republic on September 3-5, 2018. WMNC 2018 provides a forum for discussion for researchers, practitioners and students interested in new developments in mobile and wireless networks, services, applications and mobile computing. WMNC combines PWC (Personal Wireless Communications conference), MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks conference), and WSAN (Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks conference) into one event.
Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and will be indexed in IEEE-Xplore. Authors of papers of special merit will be invited to send their extended versions to a Special Issue organized for this purpose (several journals indexed in WoS and Scopus databases).
