------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Our apologies if you receive multiple copies of this CFP - - Abstract submission due (extended): November 28, 2014 - - Full manuscript due (extended): December 8, 2014 - - Acceptance notification: March 13, 2015 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE WoWMoM 2015 Sixteenth International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks http://csr.bu.edu/wowmom15/ sponsored by IEEE Computer Society, Missouri University of Science and Technology, IEEE Computer Society TC on Computer Communications (TCCC) June 14-17, 2015 Boston, MA, USA IEEE WoWMoM 2015 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances towards a world of wireless, mobile, and multimedia pervasive communications. The evolution of wireless networking technologies and their key role in future Internet scenarios offer an increasing wealth of opportunities for distributing multimedia contents over wireless networks, enabling dissemination of professional contents to mobile users as well as sharing user-generated contents among them. Users will be able to retrieve, publish, and manage information, communicate with other users or devices, access and author services, create and exploit context- awareness and so on. Papers that present original work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis, are solicited. Practical experiences and experimental efforts from both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned from testbeds, field-trials, or real deployments, are also welcome. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Wireless multimedia systems, services and applications - Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks - Ad-hoc, sensor, mesh and vehicular wireless networks - Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN - Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications and the Internet of Things - Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Content-centric architectures, multimedia content management and distribution for mobile networks - Localization mechanisms and services - Participatory, mobile and urban sensing - Mobile social networking - Resource management and QoS/QoE provisioning - Multicasting and broadcasting issues - Handoff and mobility management - Network management and control - Dependability, reliability and survivability issues for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Security and privacy issues for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Energy-efficient protocols and power management - Seamless internetworking and self-organization - System prototypes, measurements, real deployment, and experiences - Modeling, analysis, and performance evaluation - Software defined wireless networks - Dynamic spectrum access and coexistence/offloading AWARDS AND EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers presented at the Symposium will be considered for a Best Paper Award. Papers of particular merit will be considered for a fast track publication in the Elsevier Pervasive and Mobile Computing Journal. PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ All submissions must describe original research, not published or currently under review for another workshop, conference, or journal. Papers must be submitted electronically through EDAS. You can find detailed submission instructions at: http://csr.bu.edu/wowmom15/submission.html IEEE WoWMoM 2015 is using the EDAS Conference Management Software. Paper submission is possible via this link: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=18317 Authors can submit papers falling into two distinct paper categories (please select the appropriate one when submitting): - Regular Papers Regular papers' submissions may be up to 9 pages in length (including figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference style with font size 10 points or greater. For the camera ready, authors can buy one additional page up to 10 pages. - Work in Progress papers Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research, and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. Work-in-progress papers' submissions may be up to 3 pages in length (including figures and references), with the option of purchasing one extra page upon acceptance (up to 4 pages). ************************************************************************* *For accepted papers, attendance and presentation by one of the authors * *is mandatory. * *Submission implies the willingness of at least one author to attend * * the conference and present the paper. Accepted papers will be included* * in the proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2015 and submitted for publication * * to IEEE Xplore. All conference proceedings must meet IEEE's quality * *standards, and IEEE reserves the right not to publish any proceedings * *that do not meet these standards. WoWMoM organizers reserve the right * *to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g.,removal* * from IEEE Xplore) if the paper is not presented at the conference. * ************************************************************************* IMPORTANT DATES (EXTENDED DEADLINES) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Abstract submission deadline: November 28, 2014 (firm) - Full manuscript due: December 8, 2014 (firm) - Acceptance notification: March 13, 2015 - Camera Ready: April 22, 2015 CONTACTS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ For further information, please visit the conference website at http://csr.bu.edu/wowmom15/, or contact the PC Chairs: wowmom2015-pcchairs@lists.cs.unibo.it WORKSHOPS AND AFFILIATED EVENTS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Several workshops will be held in conjunction with the main conference.
