With the vast increase of mobile apps development and adoption, the fast pace deployment of 4G LTE networks and the beginning of shaping the research agenda for 5G, the 8th International Conference on Next Generation Mobile Applications, Services and Technologies (NGMAST2014) will be organised in the historic and renowed city of Oxford, United Kingdom.
The main theme of NGMAST2014 will be 5G Mobile Apps, Services and Technologies. Therefore, it is truely going to be 5GMAST 2014.
NGMAST 2014 is continuing following the significant success of previous conferences in Prague (2013), Paris (2012), Cardiff (2011), Amman (2010), and Cardiff (2007, 08,09).
The conference is hosted at St. Anthony’s College of the University of Oxford and organised by the Centre of Excellence in Mobile Applications and Services (CEMAS), University of South Wales and it partners in the Mobile Innovation Network (MINE), UK
NGMAST 2014 is technically Co-sponsored by
• IEEE
• IPv6 Forum
• SIP Forum
• European Council for Modelling and Simulation
• UKSIM UK Society on Modelling and Simulation
Similarly to The proceedings of all previous conferences, the proceedings of NGMAST2014 will be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS).
