On behalf of the Technical Program Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the 12th ACM International Symposium on Mobility Management and Wireless Access -- MobiWac'14 at Montreal, Canada. Following the successful previous events in Fort Worth (TX), Philadelphia (PA), Maui (Hawaii), Torremolinos (Spain), Chania (Greece), Bodrum (Turkey), Miami (USA), Paphos (Cyprus), Barcelona (Spain), this year's symposium aims to keep advancing our knowledge in mobility and wireless access, including models, systems, applications, and theory. The mission of the symposium is, as always, to share novel mobility management and wireless network solutions and identify new directions for future research and development.
A number of people have contributed to eventually create a strong technical program. First of all, the call for papers attracted submissions from Africa, Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. Second, a number of researchers served on the MobiWac'14 Technical Program Committee. They helped to evaluate paper submissions in a rigorous and fair, yet timely, manner and contributed significantly to the strength of the technical program. The program committee accepted 11 regular papers. These papers cover a variety of topics, including general wireless networks, wireless sensor network, network mobility, quality of service and applications. The program committee further accepted 5 papers as short papers. Finally, 1 poster/demo paper has been selected. We hope that these proceedings will serve as a valuable reference for mobile and wireless systems researchers and developers.

Cooperative caching in P2P manet
Support for efficient data access is important for the successful application deployment and use of MANET. In RAON [1] we have demonstrated that overlay networks, particularly peer-to-peer (P2P) systems, is a good abstraction for application design and ...
SOA based ubiquitous computing system design framework
Ubiquitous services are software applications that have the capability to run anytime, anywhere and on any device with minimal or no user attention. However, the advancements and diversity in mobile technologies, the dynamic and ubiquitous nature of ...
Extreme throughput multicast in multi-user diversity wireless networks
While low transmission delays can meet the requirements of many applications, high throughput is the appeal of several others. Accordingly and taking into account the multi-user diversity (MUD) and the wireless broadcast advantage (WBA) features, we ...
Non-intrusive user identity provisioning in the internet of things
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents an evolutionary vision and a new era of such smart environments that encompass all identifiable things in a dynamic and interacting network of networks. Each user has wide interactions with a huge number of ...
