IFIP WMNC 2021 will provide a discussion forum for researchers, practitioners, and students interested in novel developments in mobile and wireless networks, services, and applications and mobile computing.
IFIP WMNC combines PWC (Personal Wireless Communications conference), MWCN (Mobile and Wireless Communication Networks conference), and WSAN (Wireless Sensors and Actor Networks conference) into one event. It is Technically Sponsored by IFIP.
Accepted papers will be published in the IFIP Digital Library.
Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version for a fast-track review in a Special Issue of Annals of Telecommunications.

WMNC 2021 technical program committee invites authors to submit manuscripts with original research results that have not been previously published or that are not currently under review by another conference or journal.
The following contributions are welcome:
- Research papers reporting on new trends and developments
- Application papers reporting on academia developments of technologies, products, services, systems and solutions
- Performance evaluation and experimentation papers
- Industry practice papers
Submissions will be judged based on originality, significance, clarity, relevance, and correctness. All submitted papers will be subject to peer reviews by Technical Program Committee members and other experts in the field. Papers presented at the symposium will be considered for a Best Paper Award.
