P2MNET 2012 Welcome Message from the P2MNET Chairs We would like to extend a warm welcome to the 8th IEEE International Workshop on Performance and Management of Wireless and Mobile Networks (P2MNeT), held in conjunction with the 37th IEEE Conference on Local Computer Networks (LCN). P2MNeT 2012 promises a technically stimulating program. The workshop offers 3 technical sessions of oral presentation on hot research ideas and late breaking results. We have received quite a few high quality submissions of which we could only include a subset. This year P2MNet is honored to have a distinguished keynote speaker – Professor Hossam Hassanein, the director of the Telecommunications Research Lab at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada, speaking on the concept of Internet of Things and how it enables Smarter Solutions and Spaces. We would like to express my gratitude to the P2MNeT Technical Program Committee. Their careful evaluation of submissions has enabled us to put together an excellent technical program that sustains the quality that P2MNet has been known of. We are very grateful to the organizing committee of IEEE LCN 2012 for hosting P2MNet and handling all logistics. Finally, we would like to thank all authors for submitting high quality articles and to all attendees for participating in P2MNet. We look forward to meeting all of you in Clearwater and hope that you enjoy P2MNeT 2012. P2MNeT 2012 General Co-Chairs: Albert Y.
