SCOPE AND OVERVIEW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

IEEE WoWMoM 2021 is soliciting original and previously unpublished
papers addressing research challenges and advances in the areas of
wireless, mobile, and multimedia networking as well as ubiquitous
and pervasive systems and applications. Wireless networking
technologies are continuously evolving and have become a critical
part of modern life, be it for communication services, media
distribution or sensing and actuation services within the Internet
of things context. To provide users with high quality of experience
in multimedia communication and distribution, especially under
moderate to high utilization, appropriate resource management and
architectural networking paradigms are necessary. Edge computing
and data-driven artificial intelligence (AI) techniques are becoming
essential tools to cope with the increasing diversity of connected
devices, and the plethora of new data-intensive and latency-sensitive
applications requested by end-users. At the same time, Internet of
Things environments, wearable computing and sensors, support a
diverse range of application domains and services, providing rich
sets of measurements for characterizing, detecting, and understanding
complex behaviors and systems and enabling feedback mechanisms that
allow them to control such systems.

IEEE WoWMoM 2021 takes a broad view and seeks papers describing
innovative research contributions to the field of mobile and wireless
networking and applications. We solicit papers that present original
work, validated by experimentation, simulation, or analysis. We
also welcome practical experiences and experimental efforts from
both industry and academia, duly documenting the lessons learned
from testbeds, field trials, or real deployments.

PAPER SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original, previously
unpublished work, not currently under review by another conference,
workshop, or a journal.

Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all
submissions must be done electronically through EDAS at:

https://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=27832

Authors can submit regular or work-in-progress papers (appropriate
category to be selected upon submission).

REGULAR PAPERS

Regular papers submissions may be up to 10 pages in length (including
figures and references), formatted in two-column IEEE conference
style with font size 10 points or greater.

WORK IN PROGRESS PAPERS

Work-in-progress papers provide a peer-reviewed forum for late-breaking
or preliminary research results, giving an opportunity for researchers
and practitioners to present and demonstrate their recent research,
and to obtain feedback from their peers in a poster session.
Work-in-progress papers submissions may be up to 4 pages in length
(including figures and references) and must have a prefix “WIP:”
in the title of the paper.

ACCEPTED PAPERS
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

An author of an accepted paper is required to register for the
conference at the full (member or non-member) rate and the paper
must be presented by an author of that paper at the conference,
unless a written request before the conference for a substitute
presenter with compelling reasons is sent to the TPC Co-Chairs and
permission is granted.

Accepted papers will be included in the proceedings of IEEE WoWMoM 2021
and made available through 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. Furthermore, IEEE reserves the right to remove
papers from IEEE Xplore that are not presented at the conference.
for unjustified reasons.
