* Conference background and goals
The IADIS Wireless Applications and Computing 2008 conference addresses
several themes related to theory and practice within wireless networks,
computing and application related areas. Enormous developments in
wireless technologies made in recent years enabled both researchers and
industry to create new, innovative wireless and mobile application and
services, protocols, middleware platforms and application frameworks.
Corresponding research is related to all communication layers, but also
includes application-related topics, theoretical results and
non-technical issues. Main topics have been identified (see below).
However, innovative contributions that don't fit into these areas will
also be considered since they might be of benefit to conference attendees.

* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a

issue of the "International Journal of Information Technology and Web
Engineering" (IJITWE) (ISSN: 1554-1045)

* Types of submissions
Full and Short Papers, Reflection Papers, Posters/Demonstrations,
Tutorials, Panels and Doctoral Consortium. All submissions are subject
to a blind refereeing process.
