[Mycolleagues] 1st call: WiMob 2009

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CFP.]

        -------------------------------------------------------
                               WiMob'2009
                  5th IEEE INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE on
        Wireless & Mobile Computing, Networking & communication
        -------------------------------------------------------

                            Marrakech, Morocco
                           October 12-14, 2009
                  http://www.larim.polymtl.ca/wimob2009/

SCOPE:
------

The research area of mobile computing has become more important following
the recent widespread drive towards mobile ad hoc networks, wireless
sensor networks and vehicular ad hoc networks tracking technologies and
their applications. The availability of the high bandwidth 3G
infrastructures, and the pervasive deployment of low cost WiFi
infrastructure and WiMAX to create hotspots around the world serve to
accelerate the development of mobile computing towards ubiquitous
computing.

WiMob-09 addresses three main areas:

       Wireless Communications
       Mobile Networking, Mobility and Nomadicity
       Ubiquitous Computing, Services and Applications

This conference aims to stimulate interactions among participants and
enable them to exchange new ideas and practical experience. WiMob?8 is the
fourth in a series of annual conferences: two times in Montreal (QC)
Canada in 2005 and 2006, in New York USA in 2007 and the last one in
Avignon France in 2008.
