The evolution of wireless networking technologies and their key role in future Internet scenarios offer an increasing wealth of opportunities for distributing multimedia content. To provide users with high quality of experience, especially under moderate to high utilization, appropriate architectural networking paradigms are necessary. At the same time, Internet of Things environments, wearable computing and sensors, support a diverse range of domains and services, providing rich sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding complex behaviours and systems. These are some of the challenges that are of interest to IEEE WoWMoM 2019. The IEEE WoWMoM 2019 conference takes a broader view and seeks papers describing innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless networking in general. 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. Specific areas of interest: - 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 edge computing - Mobile health networking - Mobile network traffic characterization and measurements - Mobile social networks - Modelling, analysis, and performance evaluation of wireless, mobile and multimedia networks - Network virtualisation 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. EDITORIAL FOLLOW-UPS Selected Papers will be considered for a special issue of the Elsevier journal of Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC). IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission (ext): January 6th, 2019 Full manuscript due (ext): January 6th, 2019 Acceptance notification: March 15, 2019 Camera-Ready version due: Mid April, 2019 Conference Dates: 9-12 June, 2019 For any additional information feel free to contact the PC chairs at maria@csd.uoc.gr and jasleen@cs.unc.edu
