Wireless pervasive computing is a rapidly growing area that has attracted significant attention due to its potential impact on the quality of life. To enable wireless pervasive computing, it is necessary to integrate technologies from the fields of distributed computing, networking, communications and signal processing. The aim of this symposium is to provide a platform for researchers in the area of wireless pervasive computing and related areas to showcase their results, launch new ideas, as well as to interact with other researchers.
The scope of the symposium, which is technically co-sponsored by several IEEE Technical Committees, covers enabling technologies of wireless pervasive computing. A series of panels and tutorials will also seek to inform and invoke interaction among researchers.
Topics of interest include but are NOT LIMITED to the following:
| › Ad hoc networks | › Air interfaces (e.g. CDMA, OFDM, TDMA) | › Bluetooth technologies |
| › Coding and modulation techniques | › Cognitive radio | › Cooperative communications technologies |
| › Cross-layer design | › Detection and estimation | › Diversity techniques & equalization |
| › Dynamic spectrum management | › Healthcare applications | › Hybrid wireless networks |
| › Interference avoidance | › Interoperation of WLAN and other wireless systems | › Localization and tracking techniques |
| › Location management techniques | › Middleware | › MIMO systems |
| › Multimedia systems | › Multirate and multicarrier communications | › Multi-user Detection |
| › PCS, GPRS, EDGE, 3GPP, UMTS, GSM and B3G systems | › Power control | › Programmable radio |
| › Propagation and channel characterization | › QoS Support in wireless systems | › Resource management and interference management |
| › RF systems | › Security applications | › Signal processing |
| › Signal separation and interference rejection | › Speech and video processing | › Switching and routing techniques |
| › UWB | › Wearable devices | › WiMAX |
| › Wireless access techniques | › Wireless multicasting | › Wireless multimedia |
| › Wireless network architecture | › Wireless security | › Wireless sensor networks |
| › Wireless systems design | › WLANs and WPANs |

PAPER SUBMISSION GUIDELINES
Acceptance will be based on an extended abstract of about 2100 words (three pages in the standard IEEE conference format). The extended abstract should include diagrams, initial results, and details required for the reviewers to assess the contribution of your work. A short summary of approximately 150 words is also required at the time of submission of the extended abstract. Extended abstracts must be submitted electronically via EDAS (http://edas.info).
PANEL SESSIONS & SPECIAL SESSIONS
Proposals for Special and Panel Sessions are also being solicited. Panel sessions are 60 minutes long. They present leaders in a particular area discussing a topic of interest within the scope of the symposium. Proposals for Special and Panel sessions should consist of 1000 words summary, a 150 word abstract, and a cover page listing the details of the author(s). Please contact the respective chairs to submit your proposals.
