Members of the international wireless networks research community have for many years split their conference activity among a number of IFIP-sponsored events, including PWC (Personal Wireless Communications) – since 1996, MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks) – since 1998 and WSAN (Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks) – since 2007. In 2008, PWC and MWCN steering committees joined forces to establish Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference event series, the first of which was held in Toulouse (France). As of 2009, WMNC welcomes another pillar, Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks (WSAN), and will be held at Gdansk University of Technology, on September 9th – 11th 2009, under the name 2nd Joint IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference. It will consist of three tracks reflecting topics originally covered by the three constituent conferences. The vibrant city of Gdansk is the capital of Pomerania, a culturally and economically rich region of northern Poland situated on the Baltic coast. Proud of its 1000-year glory and the cradle of the potent Solidarity movement, Gdask appears at its best in mid-September, a season aptly called the golden Polish autumn. Each year over 1.5 million tourists are attracted by the city's picturesque old town with its numerous churches, merchant buildings dating back to the Hanseatic League, unusual presence of two town halls, and the towering St. Mary's cathedral, world's largest brick construction. For centuries Gdansk has been also famous as a leading center of amber culture and trade. The social program of the conference will provide an opportunity for the participants to enjoy all the local amenities. The topics cover, but are not necessarily limited to, the following research areas in three main tracks:
Paper submissionThe organizers solicit original papers, currently not submitted elsewhere, addressing research problems in all areas covered by WMNC’2009 conference. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings, to be published in hardcopy format by Springer in the Wireless and Mobile Networking series and made available online at www.springer.com. Selected extended papers will be published in a special issue of the Telecommunication Systems journal. A number of student travel grants will be awarded by the TPC. Best paper awards are also foreseen. For further information please visit the conference web site:
