2016, Colmar, France |
GENERAL
INFORMATION
The 8th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference
(WMNC 2016) is sponsored by IFIP TC6 and
IEEE Communications
Society
French chapter. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the
conference proceedings and submitted to Abstracting and Indexing
(A&I) databases.
WMNC 2016 combines PWC (Personal Wireless Communications
conference), MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks
conference), and WSAN (Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks conference)
into one event. It will be held from 11-13 of July 2016 in Colmar,
France.
Accepted and presented papers will be published in the
conference proceedings and
will be indexed in IEEE Xplore. Authors of papers of special merit will be invited to send
their extended versions to a Special Issue organized for this purpose
in International Journals indexed in ISI Thomson and Scopus databases.
TOPICS OF SPECIAL
INTEREST
WMNC 2016 provides a forum for discussion between
researchers, practitioners and students interested in new developments
in mobile and wireless networks, services, applications and mobile
computing. WMNC 2016 includes three tacks focusing on (but not limited
to) the following topics:
Track 1: Wireless and Mobile Communications and Networks
Wireless technologies design and evaluation - Handoff
management - Location management - Resource management - Network and
service management and control - Energy management and efficiency of
protocols and devices - Cognitive radio networking - Device-to-device
communications - Routing and scheduling in mobile and wireless
networks - Transport layer issues in mobile and wireless networks -
Network security solutions and protocols - Subscriber privacy -
Authentication, Authorization, Accounting - Traffic and network
modelling - Analysis, and simulation in wireless/mobile networks -
Virtualized and cloud-based wireless.
Track 2: Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks, Ad hoc and
Opportunistic Networks, Vehicular Networks
Machine to Machine communications (M2M) - Ad-Hoc networking
– Delay tolerant networking - Cross-layer design and
optimization - In-network processing and aggregation of information -
Energy-efficient protocols and power management - Localization and
tracking - Middleware for WSN and M2M - Self-organization and
reconfiguration - Security for WSN and M2M - Physical architectures -
Real-time communications in WSN - Vehicular networks - Robots as actor
networks - Nano networks - Future for IoT.
Track 3: Applications and Services over Wireless and Mobile
Networks
Wireless multimedia networking – Mobile cloud
computing and applications - Multicasting and broadcasting issues -
Multimedia session signalling in wireless/mobile environments -
Digital radio and TV broadcasting - Mobile computing - Protocols and
platforms for convergence - QoS and QoE for voice and video in
wireless/mobile networks - Mobile and wireless applications: health,
environmental protection - Wireless Internet applications – ITS
(Intelligent transportation systems) - Infotainment, pervasive
systems, RFID - Location-based services - Mobile services - Content
management and distribution - Context-aware wireless multimedia
applications - Context-aware services – Information centric
networking – Social networking.
These topics can be discussed in term of concepts, state of
the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and
applications.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR
AUTHORS
WMNC'2016 technical program committee invites authors to
submit manuscripts with original research results that have not been
previously published or that are not currently under review by another
conference or journal.
The following contributions are welcome: (i) Research papers reporting on new trends and developments, (ii) Application papers reporting on academia developments of technologies, products, services, systems and solutions, (iii) Performance evaluation and experimentation papers, iv) Industry practice papers.
The regular papers are limited to 8 double column pages.
The format/layout for papers should be the same as that for IEEE
conference proceedings. Please follow the formatting instructions and templates from IEEE.
Be sure to use the template's conference mode. Font size must be no
smaller than 10-points. Manuscripts
must be submitted electronically in PDF format through http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=21553
Submissions will be judged
based on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness.
All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical
Program Committee members and other experts in the field. Papers presented at the symposium will be considered for
a Best Paper Award.
Check our Web page
