CALL FOR PAPERS

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
IEEE WoWMoM 2019 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers 
addressing research challenges and advances in the areas of wireless, mobile, 
and multimedia networking as well as ubiquitous and pervasive systems. 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, and create 
and exploit context-awareness. 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.

Papers are invited which address new and previously unpublished results in the 
areas:

- Ad-hoc, sensor, mesh and vehicular wireless networks
- Content-centric architectures for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Context-awareness in wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Cognitive communications and networking
- Dependability and survivability issues for wireless, mobile
  and multimedia networks
- Energy-efficiency for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Internet/Web of Things
- Localisation, tracking, and mobility management and services
- Middleware services for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Mobile applications and services over 5G networks
- Mobile big data networking and services
- Mobile cloud computing
- Mobile applications and services over 5G networks
- Mobile edge computing
- Mobile health networking
- Mobile network traffic characterization and measurements
- Mobile social networks
- Modelling, analysis, and performance evaluation
- Network virutalisation and software-defined wireless networks
- Opportunistic and delay-tolerant networks
- Participatory, mobile and urban sensing
- Resource management for QoS/QoE provisioning
- RFID, NFC, and Machine-to-machine (M2M) communications
- Satellite and space networking
- Seamless inter-networking and self-organisation
- Security, trust and privacy issues for wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- System prototypes, measurements, real-world deployment, and experiences
- Underwater wireless, mobile and multimedia networks
- Virtual mobile infrastructure
- Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, MAN and WAN
- Wireless multimedia systems, services and applications
- Wearable Computing

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.
Please refer to the conference website for the detailed submissions instructions,
including the type of papers that can be submitted.

ACCEPTED PAPERS
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 2019 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 for unjustified reasons.

Selected Papers will be considered for a special issue of the Elsevier journal 
of Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC).

IMPORTANT DATES (tentative)
The detailed schedule for paper submissions will be published soon on the
website. Tentative dates are as follows:
Abstract submission: End of November, 2018
Full manuscript due: Early December, 2018
Acceptance notification: Mid March, 2019
Camera-Ready version due: Mid April, 2019
Conference Dates: 9-12 June, 2019

WORKSHOPS AND AFFILIATED EVENTS
WoWMoM 2019 will offer a four-day technical program including keynote speeches, 
hot-topic panel sessions, tutorials, demonstrations, and PhD forum. Several 
workshops will be held in conjunction with the symposium. Workshop papers will 
be included and indexed in the IEEE Digital Library (IEEE Xplore), showing their 
affiliation with IEEE WoWMoM. The conference will also provide a high quality 
social events program, including a welcome reception and a gala dinner.

DEMOS
Technical demonstrations in the areas of wireless, mobile, and multimedia 
networking as well as ubiquitous and pervasive systems are solicited. 
Submissions from both industry and academia are strongly encouraged.
The extended abstracts of accepted demonstrations will be included in the 
proceedings of WoWMoM 2019.

PHD FORUM
IEEE WoWMoM 2019 will host a PhD Forum providing an opportunity to PhD students 
for presenting their dissertation research, recently finished or still ongoing. 
The forum encourages the interaction among PhD students, and helps them to 
obtain feedback from senior researchers from academia, industry, and government.
Accepted extended abstracts of presented posters will appear in the conference 
proceedings.

KEYNOTES AND PANELS
WoWMoM 2019 will offer a range of exciting keynotes and panels on hot emerging 
topics in the area of wireless, mobile and multimedia networks. Information 
about keynotes and panels will be posted in due time.

For all the affiliated events, please refer to the WoWMoM 2019 website for the 
specific calls, submission instructions and dates.
