Two types of contributions will be accepted: FULL PAPERS: Full Papers must present original, previously unpublished, complete works, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. Practical experiences and experimental efforts are welcome. POSITION PAPERS: Papers in this category must be visionary, innovative and forward-looking. They must offer new perspectives opening future research directions, rather than by presenting mature work with quantitative results. Only a limited number of slots will be available for position papers that will be reviewed primarily for relevance and originality. Topics of interest for WOWMOM 2005 include, but are not limited to: - System prototypes and experiences - Software technologies and systems - QoS for real-time voice and video in wireless networks - Interactive broadband television, gaming, and video distribution - Middleware support for QoS provision - Caching and content management in WLANs and WMANs - Differentiated service in wireless multimedia networks - IP-based multimedia services over wireless networks - Networking services for ambient intelligent and pervasive environments - Multicasting and broadcasting problems and solutions - Handoff and mobility management - Seamless internetworking - IP-based mobile networks - Location mechanism and services - Wireless BAN, PAN, LAN, and MAN - Ad hoc and sensor networks - Vehicular wireless networks - Access technologies - Third and fourth generation systems - Energy-efficient protocols and power management - Wireless security and authentication - Pricing and billing - Modeling and Performance evaluation PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION ================================= Papers should neither have been published elsewhere nor currently under review by another conference or journal.
