One of the key characteristics of the Future Internet is the synergy and interworking of existing and new wireless communication environments that will exhibit ubiquity and multi-access capabilities. The integration of heterogeneous networks is revolutionizing the ICT area, introducing new opportunities, better communication channels and an enhanced quality of provided applications and services. In this environment, a user is able to connect to a number of heterogeneous RATs (Radio Access Technologies), either covering the same, or complementing geographical areas. These networks can be macro-cellular, WLANs, femto-cellular or even ad-hoc. In this environment, seamless mobility is coupled according to user preferences, enabling mobile users to be “Always Best Connected” (ABC) so that Quality of Experience is optimised and maintained. Furthermore, communication security is required at both communication and service layer. One of the goals of the workshop is to exchange of ideas and interaction among the different European Projects on the topic in question, with a special focus on FP7 projects related to mobility management systems. European technology platforms are also invited to present their views in the area. EUMOBILE 2010 will give researchers the opportunity to present their latest results on this topic. Researchers active in FP7 research projects as well as other leading international researchers are invited to participate and share their latest findings. The workshop intends to collect results from that work in this area as well.
