WiMob is an international forum for the exchange of knowledge and
experience among researchers, developers and practitioners of wireless and
mobile technology. For fourteen years, the International WiMob conference
has provided unique opportunities for researchers and developers to interact,
share new results, show live demonstrations, and discuss emerging directions
in a number of contemporary topics in wireless and mobile computing.
WiMob 2018 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research
challenges in the areas of wireless communications, wireless networking,
mobility, nomadicity, ubiquitous computing, services and applications.
Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or
experimentation. Practical experiences and Testbed trials also are welcome.
TOPICS
WiMob 2018 will host 5 parallel symposia on:
• Wireless Communications
• Wireless Networking, Mobility and Nomadicity
• Ubiquitous Computing, Services and Applications
• Green and Sustainable Communications and Network Computing
• Security on Wireless and Mobile Networks
A full list of topics for each symposium can be found on the conference
web site.
CALL FOR WORKSHOP PROPOSALS
