The Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications Symposium (WPMC'12) will be held in Taipei, Taiwan. The WPMC
symposia series were inaugurated in 1998, as a global platform which aims at enabling collaboration in the field of wireless
information and multimedia communications. Held in Asia, Europe and America, WPMC has established itself as a unique
global conference dedicated to wireless multimedia convergence. Continuing the series, the 15th International Symposium
on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications will be held for the first time in Taiwan. The theme of this year’s
symposium is “Autonomous Communication and Networking for Promoting Human Living”. In addition to
high-quality technical sessions, the symposium will feature workshops, tutorials as well as product exhibitions.
