                         *FINAL Call for Papers*
     Extended Deadline *Feb. 18* (extensions on case-by-case basis)

====================================================================

IEEE WoWMoM 2007 (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, marketing 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 "track" are:

*) Papers must be submitted in PDF format via the EDAS Website:
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).


*) Deadlines:
Extended Deadine:               *** February 18, 2007 ***
                                  Paper submission (via EDAS)
(Extensions to the Feb 18 deadline will be granted on a case-by-case
basis--to avail of this extension, you MUST email a request for
extension to the chairs ** BEFORE Feb 18 **).

Reviews available:               March 12, 2007
Final manuscripts due:           April 6, 2007.
