Call For Papers
WMNC 2022 technical program committee invites authors to submit manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal.
The following contributions are welcome:
- Research papers reporting on new trends and developments
- Application papers reporting on academia developments of technologies, products, services, systems and solutions
- Performance evaluation and experimentation papers
- Industry practice papers
Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. Papers (full/short) and Demos presented at the symposium will be considered for a Best Paper Award and Best Demo award.
