21st IEEE International Symposium on a World of Wireless, Mobile and Multimedia Networks, Cork, Ireland,

SCOPE AND OVERVIEW IEEE WoWMoM 2020 is soliciting original and previously unpublished papers addressing research challenges and advances in the areas of wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking as well as ubiquitous and pervasive systems and applications. Wireless networking technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical part of modern life, be it for communication services, media distribution or sensing and actuation services within the Internet of things context. To provide users with high quality of experience in multimedia communication and distribution, especially under moderate to high utilization, appropriate resource management and architectural networking paradigms are necessary. At the same time, Internet of Things environments, wearable computing and sensors, support a diverse range of application domains and services, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding complex behaviors and systems and enabling feedback mechanisms that allow to control such systems. These are some of the challenges that are of interest to IEEE WoWMoM 2020. The IEEE WoWMoM 2020 conference takes a broad view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking and applications. 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.
