This year, the MobiCom technical program will include two panels and a discussion forum. The first panel (in Day 2 of the conference) will address many hot R&D questions pertaining to Indoor Localization and how the many years of developments in this area can be exploited in useful applications. The second panel (in Day 3 of the conference) will focus on wireless video addressing QoS and user experience issues in face of an ever growing rate of wireless and mobile video consumption. The discussion forum (in Day 3 of the conference) will discuss the roadblocks facing academia and research labs in deploying 4G LTE systems for purposes of experimental research.

We would like to thank all the panelists for their great efforts and for agreeing to present and debate their views on such hot MobiCom topics. We invite you to engage and participate as early as now (utilizing the DISQUS web community forums set up for each panel), and hope you enjoy the panels program this year.

Thank you and see you soon in Miami.
