CALL FOR PAPERS

"Making Wireless Communities"

The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2011) will be held in July 5-8, 2011. Under the theme of "Making Wireless Communities", IWCMC 2011 will target a wide spectrum of the state-of-the-art as well as emerging topics pertaining to wireless networks, wireless communications, and mobile computing. Continuing the great success of previous IWCMC events, IWCMC 2011 is anticipated to attract a large number of high-quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions among many academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all around the world.

The IWCMC 2011 program will feature a number of symposia, workshops, invited presentations, special sessions, and pioneering keynote speakers. More information can be found at the conference website: http://iwcmc.org. Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers—up to 6 pages of length, using the EDAS link: http://edas.info/N9425 to various IWCMC 2011 Symposia and Workshops as listed in the conference website for possible publication in the IWCMC 2011 Conference Proceedings, which will be included in ACM/IEEE Digital Library (pending approval). Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in three special issues in the following Journals:

1. Wiley Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC) http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/76507157/home

2. The International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet) http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journalCODE=ijsnet

3. The International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS): www.inderscience.com/ijaacs
