The 7th IFIP Wireless and Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC 2014) is sponsored by IFIP TC6 and IEEE. Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

WMNC 2014 combines PWC (Personal Wireless Communications conference), MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks conference), and WSAN (Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks conference) into one event. It will be held from 20th to 22nd of May 2014 in Vilamoura, Algarve, Portugal.
