Introduction
The Emergency Networks for Public Protection and Disaster Relief (EN4PPDR) Workshop, 5th edition, aims to gather researchers and experts working in the field of public safety, emergency response, protection, relief and recovery of critical infrastructures. Disasters, natural or not, may occur on a metropolitan (e.g. building collapse, airplane crash,...) or on a large scale (e.g. earthquake, forest fire, flooding,..) and may involve critical infrastructures as well (e.g. gas pipelines, electric power systems, telecommunications networks,...).
Therefore, protection of critical infrastructures from one side and prompt emergency response from the other play a fundamental role in saving human lives, protecting properties and recovering from system failure.
The workshop very large area of interests includes, but is not limited to, wireless technologies, network architectures, transmission protocols, spectrum management, fast deployable systems, interoperability, crisis management, data fusion systems, secure communications, standardization activities, first responder equipment, network topologies and resilience.
Results from research activities, demonstrations, test-bed and prototype testing are encouraged by universities, research institutes, industries and companies.
Joint papers from different institutions are welcome.

Guidlines
High-quality full papers which at the time of submission, are not under review and have not already been published or accepted for publication elsewhere are solicited. The first page should include the paper's title, the abstract, a list of keywords indicating the paper's topic area(s), the authors' full names, affiliations, and e-mail addresses.
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, and will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Digital Xplore. Authors are required to submit fully formatted papers (PDF), with graphs, images, and other special areas arranged as intended for the final publication. Papers should be written in English conforming to the IEEE standard conference format (8.5" x 11" - US letter, Two-Column). The final manuscript for publication will be limited to 8 IEEE pages (Maximum of two (2) additional pages can be purchased, each paper cannot exceed 10 pages). You can find a copy of the IEEE standard conference template for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats here. Your paper must be printable in order to be accepted.
At least one of the authors of each accepted paper has to register at the regular rate (non-student). Each registration will cover one accepted paper. WiMob Executive Committee reserves the right not to include in IEEE Explore the papers that are not presented at the conference.
WiMob 2018 is using the EDAS Conference Management System to manage the paper submission process. The EDAS submission site is now open, please click here to start your submission.
