The decision to organize a scientific event on wireless communications, where competition is really enormous was motivated by discussion with some colleagues about the current unprecedented request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment. Such devices follow the user everywhere he goes (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.), but also result in exciting research, development and business opportunities.
This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services.
