Scope

The international conference on wireless networks and mobile communications (WINCOM’17) will be held in the Imperial city and the capital of Morocco, Rabat, on 01-04 November 2017. WINCOM’17 aims at examining the various challenges in the areas of wireless networks & mobile communications. The conference will provide a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing solutions, and sharing experiences among researchers and professionals from both academia and industry interested in wireless networks and mobile communications. Papers describing original research work on both theoretical and practical aspects of wireless networks and mobile communications are highly solicited.
WINCOM 2017 covers all types of wireless communications and networks: cellular networks, metropolitan networks, local area networks, ad hoc networks, sensor networks, delay-tolerant networks, mesh networks, content-driven networks, vehicular networks, or any convex combination of the above. Contributions to the conference should provide a significant improvement, compared to the state-of-the-art, to the design, analysis, and operations of wireless networks, either by offering new insights on theoretical aspects or by proposing novel practical optimization methods and tools.

Paper Submission
Papers should contain original material which is not currently under review in any other conference or journal and has not been previously published. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of six (devil) printed pages standard IEEE conference two-column format (minimum 10-point font) including figures, without incurring additional page charges (maximum 2 additional pages, with over length page fee).
All submitted papers will go through a peer review process. Questions about paper submissions or the conference program can be addressed to any of the Program Chairs. Standard IEEE Transactions templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats can be found at:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html
Only PDF files will be accepted for the review process and all submissions must be done through EDAS online submission system: https://www.edas.info/newPaper.php?c=23167&track=83197. You are invited to submit papers in all areas of wireless communications networks.
All accepted and registered papers at WINCOM 2017 will be submitted to IEEE for potential inclusion to the IEEE Xplore. They will also be submitted to SCOPUS, ISI, DBLP and other leading indexing services. Papers of particular merit will be recommended for a possible special issue in an international journal. There will also be best papers awards.
