in a number of contemporary topics in wireless and mobile computing.

WiMob 2018 is soliciting high quality technical papers addressing research
challenges in the areas of wireless communications, wireless networking,
mobility, nomadicity, ubiquitous computing, services and applications.
Papers should present original work validated via analysis, simulation or
experimentation. Practical experiences and Testbed trials also are welcome.
