Call For Papers - CFP

The Fifth International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Communications (ICWMC 2009) in France follows on the previous events on advanced wireless technologies, wireless networking, and wireless applications.

ICWMC 2009 addresses wireless related topics concerning integration of latest technological advances to realize mobile and ubiquitous service environments for advanced applications and services in wireless networks. Mobility and wireless, special services and lessons learnt from particular deployment complement the traditional wireless topics.

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of topics, short papers on work in progress, workshops and panel proposals.

The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited to, topic areas.

Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status.
