Message from the IWCMC 2015 chairs
It is a great pleasure welcoming all of you to the IEEE International Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Conference (IEEE IWCMC 2015) in the beautiful Dubrovnik, Croatia! We are indeed delighted that this year's IEEE IWCMC lived up to its goal under the conference theme “Communications for the 21st Century,” and continues its tradition of providing the premier forum for presentation of research results and experience reporting on the cutting edge research in the general areas of wireless communications and mobile computing. This year, we received more than 700 submissions from 42 countries. Each paper received at least three peer technical reviews, comprised of more than 450 TPC members from academia, government laboratories, and industries. After carefully examining all review reports, the IEEE IWCMC 2015 TPC finally selected about 36% high-quality papers for presentation at the conference and publication in the IEEE IWCMC 2015 proceedings. The conference program starts on Monday August 24th with a full day of Tutorials that are free of charge to all our attendees. Then, each day starts with a keynote speaker chosen from renowned world-class leaders in the area-Dr. Giuseppe Bianchi from University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy, Dr. Mario Gerla from UCLA, and Dr. Slim Alouini from KAUST, highlighting the latest research trends in the wireless communications, mobile computing, and networks. This year, the technical sessions reflect the continued and growing interests in a wide range of spectrum, including wireless communications and networks, cross-layer design and optimization, mobile computing, wireless sensor networks, network security, and use of wireless technologies in social emergency applications. There are two special sessions composed of invited papers from renowned experts from around the world. Outstanding papers will be selected for four Special Issues in well known international journals. Our objective in the future is to reduce the acceptance rate further.
