SCOPE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Third ACM International Workshop on Wireless Multimedia Networking
and Performance Modeling (WMuNeP'07) will be a one-day workshop, held in
conjunction with the 10th Annual ACM Symposium on Modeling, Analysis and
Simulation of Wireless and Mobile Systems (MSWiM´07). 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 workshop is devoted to cover different aspects of wireless
multimedia networking and performance modeling for WLANs, WPANs, WMANs,
WWANs, MANETs 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.
