(IWCMC 2008)
The International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference 2008 (IWCMC 2008) will be held in Creta Maris Conference Centre, Crete, Greece, August 6-8, 2008. Under the theme of "Next Generation Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing/Networking Technologies", IWCMC2008 is targeting at a wide spectrum of state-of-the-art and emerging research topics pertaining to wireless networks, communications, and mobile computing. Continuing the great success of IWCMC 2007 held last year, IWCMC 2008 is anticipated to attract an even larger number of high quality submissions and stimulate the cutting-edge research discussions amongst many academic pioneering researchers/scientists and industrial engineers/leaders from all over the world.
The IWCMC 2008 program will feature a General Symposium, ten Specific Technical Symposia, invited presentations, Panel sessions, Workshops, and the Keynote Speech Sessions. Prospective authors are invited to submit their original technical papers to various IWCMC 2008 Symposia as listed below for oral presentations in the conference and publication in the IWCMC 2008 Conference Proceedings, which will be included in IEEE Xplore. All submissions should go to EDAS at http://edas.info. Please choose your symposium when submitting your papers.
