ICWMC 2006 addresses wireless related topics (technologies, networking, applications) concerning integration of latest technological advances to realize mobile and ubiquitous service environments for advanced applications and services in wireless networks. Mobility and wireless, special services and lessons learnt from particular deployment complement the traditional wireless topics.

We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora2 or in industry consortia, 3 survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of topics, short papers on work in progress, workshops and panel proposals.

We are inviting your contributions to the conference with some of the following:

·Distribute the Call for Submissions ·Submit contributions

·Organize a special session

·Propose a panel, a tutorial, or a workshop

The following topics are suggested (but not limited to):

·Wireless communications basics ·Radio Interfaces and Systems

·Spectrum allocation and management ·Circuits for wireless communications ·Wireless and mobility

·Protocols for wireless and mobility

·Traffic and congestion control, QoS4, resource management ·Wireless and mobile technologies

·Performance evaluation, simulation and modeling of wireless networks and systems ·Management of wireless and mobile networks ·Security in wireless and mobile environment ·Networks convergence and integration

·Applications and services based on wireless infrastructures ·Standardization and regulations

·Wireless and mobile network deployment

The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE5 Computer Society Press and posted on the IEEE Xplore portal.
