CALL FOR PAPERS

Wireless pervasive computing is a rapidly growing area that has attracted significant attention due to its potential impact on the quality of life. To enable wireless pervasive computing, it is necessary to integrate technologies from the fields of distributed computing, networking, communications and signal processing. The aim of this symposium is to provide a platform for researchers in the area of wireless pervasive computing and related areas to showcase their results, launch new ideas, as well as to interact with other researchers.

The scope of this symposium covers concepts and all enabling technologies of wireless pervasive computing. This includes a huge variety of topics ranging from wireless communications and networking to services and applications of pervasive computing. A series of panel and tutorials will also seek to inform and invoke interaction among researchers.

Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers for presentation at the conference. Full papers have to be submitted via EDAS. The maximum number of pages allowed is six. Proposals for tutorials are also solicited, addressing emerging topics that relate to technical issues in wireless communications and applications. All accepted papers will be published on IEEE Xplore® (pending approval).

Extended versions of selected best papers will be considered for Special issues of a journal “International Journal of Wireless Networks and Broadcasting Technologies” published by IGI-global and “International Journal of Information Technology, Communications and Convergence (IJITCC)” by Inderscience.

Contributions are sought in (but not limited to) the following areas:

• Wireless peer-to-peer
• Wireless mesh networks
• Inter and intra vehicular communications
• Wireless sensor networks
• Green pervasive computing
• Advanced localization and tracking techniques
• Wireless video and multimedia
