IEEE WoWMoM 2007 Industry Session: Deadline Extended to 02/18/2007
****************************************************************

IEEE WoWMoM 2007 
(<http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/>http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/) is 
one of the leading
international conferences for networking, software systems and
multimedia research in the wireless/mobile area involving both computer
science and electrical engineering communities. The 8th edition of the
WoWMoM conference is being held from June 18-21, 2007 in Helsinki,
Finland.

As part of an expanded involvement of industry researchers and
professionals, WoWMoM 2007 is planning to organize a one-day ***Industry
Session***. Accordingly, the Industry Session program committee is
soliciting submissions of papers for this specially designated track,
specifically targeting specific commercial applications of the following
(non-exhaustive) research areas: 
         * Middleware support for mobile multimedia
         * Mobile content distribution and authorization
         * Presence-awareness and multimedia signaling in provider
networks
         * Service creation and provisioning for mobile applications
         * Broadcast/Multicast based applications and architectures
         * Power control and energy-efficient systems for pervasive
communication
         * RFID/sensor applications in enterprise and provider networks
         * Innovative methods for charging/billing
         * Fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) systems
         * Network simulation and validation tools

The Industry Session track is intended to specially highlight system
experiences and proofs-of-concept in the areas of wireless communication
and multimedia applications. We emphasize that submissions must still be
"research papers", in other words, articles merely describing
product-specific features or implementation details are NOT being
solicited. Like regular papers, the "industry session" papers will
undergo a review process by an international TPC and will appear in the
conference proceedings.

However, the selection criteria for "industry session" papers are
slightly different. In particular, papers should describe applications,
prototypes or experiences of clear industry relevance. Papers with
narrow algorithmic focus or only high-level design details are
discouraged. A key goal of these sessions is to present systems-oriented
research that exposes the academic and research communities to
"real-life" issues and problems being faced in industry. Accordingly,
papers will be evaluated, less on the novelty of specific algorithmic
content, but by the originality and general applicability of insights
that can be inferred from the authors' implementation experience.

Some details on the requirements and deadlines for this session are:
- Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the EDAS Website:
<http://edas.info/5197>http://edas.info/5197. Paper should be in 
double-column, 10pt IEEE
format and no longer than 8 pages. (Details on formatting are available
at: 
<http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/authorinfo.html>http://ieee-wowmom.tml.hut.fi/authorinfo.html).
- Deadlines:
   *** Paper submission (via EDAS): February 18, 2007 ***
   *** Reviews available: March 12, 2007 ***
   *** Final manuscripts due: April 6, 2007 ***

submission deadlines etc. are available at:
