Scope

The first IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking

Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE

International Conference on Ultra Modern Telecommunications (ICUMT 2009) to be held

in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2009. The workshop will be a day long event.

This is an excellent opportunity to participate in two events covering a wide range

of research in mobile computing and ultra modern wireless communications.

Overview

The new social, economic and technological trends having evolved worldwide such as

the increasing demand for productivity and effectiveness with the pressure to

respond immediately to customer requirements have created increased need for access

to information anywhere in the world at anytime. Considering the present

telecommunication environment, which is an amalgamation of a large number of

networks and administrative domains employing various access technologies, combined

with the increased user mobility makes it difficult to promise the same grade of

service quality at all parts of the network. The convergence of information

communications technology and computing is creating new demands and opportunities

for ubiquitous computing via wireless and mobile equipment without technological

restrictions.

The demanding networking environment of wireless communications imposes several

challenges in terms of network design, channel estimation, propagation and radio

resource management offering a variety of high quality multimedia applications.

Overcoming these issues becomes even more demanding due to non-uniform spectrum

allocation, various radio resource management policies, economic concerns, the

scarcity of radio resources, the inherent transmission impairments of wireless

links, and user mobility.

The first IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking

Technologies 2009 (WMCNT09) serves as an open forum intending to promote discussion

and bring together researchers, developers and engineers in both academia and

industry to exchange ideas and to submit novel unpublished works about architecture,

design, implementation, analysis, measurement, performance and simulation in mobile

and ubiquitous computing environments. The main purpose is to encourage research for

ultra modern wireless communication.

not limited to, topic areas:

? QoS in wireless/mobile systems

? End-to-End QoS

? Radio resource management

? Reliable broadcast/Multicast wireless technologies for multimedia applications

? Performance evaluation of new wireless standards for high-quality entertainment

environments

Proceedings

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously

unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or

journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of

computer networking and data communications. All papers will be reviewed and

accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, included in IEEE

Xplore (approved). Papers must be submitted electronically in the EDAS. The maximum

size of papers should be 5000 words including tables and figures. The cover page

must contain an abstract of about 150 words, 3-5 keywords, name and affiliation of

author(s) as well as the corresponding author's e-mail and postal address. Authors

of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their

papers for consideration of publication in a special issue.
