The Second International Conference on Wireless and Mobile Communications ICWMC 2006 addresses wireless related topics concerning integration of latest technological advances to realize mobile and ubiquitous service environments for advanced applications and services in wireless networks. Mobility and wireless, special services and lessons learnt from particular deployment complement the traditional wireless topics. We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of topics, short papers on work in progress, workshops and panel proposals. The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts, state of the art, standards, implementations, running experiments and applications. Authors are invited to submit complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other conference or journal in the following, but not limited topic areas. Industrial presentations are not subject to these constraints. We expect short and long presentations that express industrial position and status. Tutorials on specific related topics and panels on challenging areas are encouraged. The following topics are suggested (but not limited to): o Wireless Communications Basics o Radio Interfaces and Systems o Spectrum Allocation and Management o Circuits for Wireless Communications o Wireless and Mobility o Protocols for wireless and mobility o Traffic and congestion control, QoS, Resource Management o Wireless and mobile technologies o Performance Evaluation, Simulation and Modeling of wireless networks and systems o Management of wireless and mobile networks o Security in wireless and mobile environment o Networks convergence and integration o Applications and services based on wireless infrastructures o Standardization and regulations o Design and implementation o Wireless and mobile network deployment We welcome technical papers presenting research and practical results, position papers addressing the pros and cons of specific proposals, such as those being discussed in the standard fora or in industry consortia, survey papers addressing the key problems and solutions on any of the above topics short papers on work in progress, workshops, and panel proposals.
