The Fifth ACM International Workshop on Wireless Multimedia
Networking and comPuting (WMuNeP'09) will be a one-day workshop, held
in conjunction with the
12th
Annual ACM International Conference on Modeling, Analysis and Simulation of
Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM´09). The demand for wireless multimedia
communications thrives in today's consumer and corporate market. The need to
evolve multimedia applications and services, and their associated protocols for
emerging networks is at a critical point given the proliferation and integration
of wireless systems to intelligent and broadband networks, mobility of people,
data/voice convergence and the integration of computing and communication in
mobile devices.
This highly selective workshop is devoted to cover different aspects of wireless
multimedia networking and performance modeling for WLANs, WPANs, WMANs, WWANs,
MANETs, VANETs and sensor networks such as wireless video and wireless
streaming, systematic design methodologies, algorithms, synchronization,
analysis and performance modeling. The workshop will provide a forum for
researchers and practitioners to present their contributions related to the
above high-level aspects.
