Call for Papers
31st Meeting of Wireless World Research Forum 
22-24 October 2013, Vancouver, BC, Canada
Wireless Enabled Smart Societies in the 2020s

Hosted by: The Institute for Computing, Information and
        Cognitive Systems (ICICS) at The University of British Columbia

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WWRF invites researchers to share information and present results on Wireless Enabled Smart Societies in the next decade and beyond, with the intention of identifying open issues and providing examples of how to resolve those issues. Technical papers describing recent research results and controversial but substantiated opinions that may influence the direction of future R&D work are solicited. Contributions focusing on the theme above are particularly welcome. A selection of the contributions will be presented at the meeting, along with invited and keynote presentations. Contributions that are accepted for the meeting will appear in the meeting proceedings and may be published in WWRF Outlook (a series of white papers) or be incorporated into new volumes in the Wiley-WWRF book series. The best papers from the meeting will be included in a special issue of IEEE Vehicular Technology Magazine.
