The scope of the conference includes a wide range de technical challenges such as the growing Internet access using cellular and wireless interfaces, the evolution to third generation cellular architectures. The conference also looks at discussing and evaluating recently emerging new technologies and services such as the Bluetooth protocols and architecture and the Wireless Application Protocol (WAP). The success of these nascent technolgies clearly depends on the ability to offer low cost and efficient end-user applications. MWCN'2001 is the third conference in its series aimed at stimulating technical exchange in the emerging and important field of mobile and Wireless Communications Networks. Mobility and connection management, location management, connection establishment, quality of service provisioning, inter-working of wire-lines with wireless networks for voice, video, image and data are some of the focus areas in wireless networking of this conference. In the last few years with the development of digital technologies, satellites have also emerged in the forefront of multimedia delivery techniques. From using current digital broadcast systems for web access to developing sophisticated platform for integrated services. Satellite networking is now a well-established solution for the broadband needs of the new millennium. This conference is intended to provide a timely forum for exploratory research and practical contributions from North and Latin America, European, Middle East and Far East. The official language of the conference for submission of a paper and or an extended abstract and view graphs is English. This conference will identify the theoretical and actual problems that face designers of today's complex problems associated with mobile and wireless communications links and networks. Its participants will explore modeling and simulation tools as well as analytical methodologies and techniques for dealing with mobile and wireless systems. The objective of this event is to foster the exchange of information among researchers in this fast-moving field.

               CALL FOR PAPERS 

The Third IEEE Conference on Mobile and Wireless 
Communications Networks (MWCN 2000) August, 2001 
        Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil 
        http://www.cin.ufpe.br/~mwcn2001

Comunicao Sem Fio 

General Information on MWCN 2001 
================================ 

The MWCN'2001 conference to be held in Recife in the North East of Brazil, 
seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research 
and work in the wireless industry. The scope of the conference includes a 
wide range de technical challenges such as the growing Internet access using 
cellular and wireless interfaces, the evolution to third generation cellular 
architectures. The conference also looks at discussing and evaluating
