************ CALL FOR PAPERS ******************

----------- (WMCNT 2011) --------------
IEEE 4th International Workshop on 
Mobile Computing and Networking Technologies

http://wmcnt.ntua.gr

3-5 October 2012
St. Petersburg, Russia

Scope
=====
The Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and Networking
Technologies (WMCNT2012) will take place in conjunction with the IEEE
International Congress on Ultra Modern Telecommunications and Control Systems
(ICUMT 2012) to be held in St. Petersburg, Russia, in October 2012. Continuing
the great success of the previous events, WMCNT 2012 Workshop is anticipated
to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the
cutting-edge research discussions among academic pioneering
researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world.

Overview
========
Mobile computing and networking have inarguably emerged among the most vibrant
areas in the field of telecommunications today. Customers¢ requirement for
immediate response to their prerequisites, targeting on access to information
anywhere in the world at anytime, has increased the demand for productivity
and effectiveness of mobile computing and networking. Moreover, 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. Considering also the
diversification of access technologies and their applications that prevail in
the present telecommunication environment, amalgamated with the increased user
mobility makes QoS provision a challenging issue. 
Future mobile communication networks offer a variety of high quality
applications. Furthermore, several challenges are imposed by the demanding
wireless networking environment, in terms of network architecture, channel
estimation, propagation and especially radio resource management. The
understanding of 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 aim of the Fourth IEEE International Workshop on Mobile Computing and
Networking Technologies (WMCNT 2012) is to provide an international venue for
the discussion of architecture, design, implementation, analysis, measurement,
performance and simulation in wireless, mobile and ubiquitous computing
environments. WMCNT 2012 will serve as an open forum, where novel ideas will
be exchanged via bringing together researchers, developers and engineers in
both academia and industry.

Proceedings
===========
Prospective 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 wireless communications.
All papers will be peer reviewed by experts in the field and accepted papers
will be presented in oral sessions and published in the conference
proceedings, included in IEEE Xplore (approved). The submission process is
carried through the EDAS conference management system (http://edas.info/). The
manuscripts must follow the IEEE format. The maximum paper length is of eight
(8) pages including tables and figures. Submission of a regular paper implies
that at least one of the authors will have a full registration to the
Conference and present the paper upon the acceptance of the submission.
Authors of selected outstanding papers will be invited to submit extended
versions of their work for possible inclusion into a special journal issue.

Important Dates
Paper submission: June 15, 2012 
Notification of acceptance: August 5, 2012 
Camera ready version paper submission/Author Registration: September 1, 2012
