  CALL FOR PAPERS

   IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks

  http://cnd.iit.cnr.it/wowmom2005
  Taormina, Italy, June 13-16, 2005

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   Sponsored by The IEEE Computer Society and
                      The University of Texas at Arlington

                        Technical sponsored by IEEE TCCC

**** Submission Deadline --- November 10, 2004 ****
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Technology evolution is driving toward a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications where users can seamlessly and ubiquitously accomplish their tasks, access information or communicate with other users all the anytime, everywhere, and from any device. Technologies include, among others, IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16, Mobile IP, micro-mobility protocols, IP paging, wireless IP QOS, mobile ad hoc and sensor networks, and cellular networks. In addition to these, new and emerging technologies (e.g., UWB) need to be taken into account. The resulting networking environment will constitute the fourth generation wireless networks. 4G will integrate different types of wireless networks with wire-line backbone network seamlessly, and provide the convergence of voice, multimedia and data traffic over a single IP based core network.

WoWMoM 2005 technical program committee is soliciting papers addressing the research challenges toward a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications. Two types of contributions will be accepted:

FULL PAPERS. Full Papers must present original, previously unpublished, complete works, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. Practical experiences and experimental efforts are welcome.

POSITION PAPERS. Papers in this category must be visionary, innovative and forward-looking. They must offer new perspectives opening future research directions, rather than by presenting mature work with quantitative results. Only a limited number of slots will be available for position papers that will be reviewed primarily for relevance and originality.

Topics of interest for WOWMOM 2005 include, but are not limited to, the following:

- System prototypes and experiences
- Software technologies and systems
- QoS for real-time voice and video in wireless networks
- Interactive broadband television, gaming, and video distribution
- Middleware support for QoS provision
- Caching and content management in WLANs and WMANs
- Differentiated service in wireless multimedia networks
- IP-based multimedia services over wireless networks
- Networking services for ambient intelligent and pervasive environments
- Multicasting and broadcasting problems and solutions
- Handoff and mobility management
- Seamless internetworking
- IP-based mobile networks
- Location mechanism and services
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, and MAN
- Ad hoc and sensor networks
- Vehicular wireless networks
- Access technologies
- Third and fourth generation systems
- Energy-efficient protocols and power management
- Wireless security and authentication
- Pricing and billing
- Modeling and Performance evaluation
