The 5th Joint  IFIP  Wireless  Mobile Networking Conference (WMNC'2012) is  sponsored  by  IFIP  TC6.
WMNC'2012 combines the 17th PWC (Personal Wireless Communications conference), the 14th MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks conference), and the 6th WSAN Wireless
Sensors and Actor Networks conference) into one event. It will be held from 19th to 21st September 2012 in Bratislava, Slovakia.

WMNC‘2012 provides forum for discussion between researchers, practitioners and students interested in new developments in mobile and wireless networks, services, applications and mobile computing.
WMNC‘2012 includes three tacks focusing on (but not limited to) the following topics:

Track 1: Wireless and Mobile Communications and Networks
