IWCMC

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2006). This year's Conference continues its tradition of being the premier forum for presentation of research results and experience reports on leading edge issues of Wireless Networking and Communications as well as Mobile Computing and Security. The mission of the Conference is to share novel basic research ideas as well as experimental applications in the wireless areas in addition to identifying new directions for future research and development. IWCMC 2006 gives researchers a unique opportunity to share their perspectives with others interested in the various aspects of Wireless Networking, Wireless Communication, Information Theory and Mobile Computing.The call for papers attracted more than 550 submissions from Asia, Canada, Europe, Africa, and the United States. The program committee accepted 270 papers that cover a variety of topics, including next generation networks, MIMO Systems, Cross-Layer Design, Multimedia over Wireless, Mobile Computing, Wireless LNAs and MANs, Next Generation Networks, Ad-Hoc and Sensor Networks, Information Theory and security of computers and networks. In addition, the program includes four Tutorials and a keynote speech by Philippe Jetté, General Manager, Marketing & Business Development at Bell Mobility Canada, on Enabling the Future Mobile Environment. We hope that these CDs will serve as a valuable reference to researchers and developers in the area.
