ASWN 2006 is the sixth international Workshop on Applications and Services in Wireless Networks following successful events in France, Switzerland and the US. The workshop addresses the challenges and advanced technologies supporting future wireless applications and services in mobile systems that span all wireless architectures and technologies, such as cellular, WLAN, WPAN, ad hoc, and sensor networks.

The 2006 special theme is the integration of latest technological advances to realize ubiquitous service environments for innovative Applications and Services in Wireless Networks. Special attention will be given to sensor network applications, peer-to-peer communication and system interworking aspects including emerging issues like cross layer optimization. The format of the workshop is based on three-day single-track sessions, including one keynote presentation, 32 regular paper presentations and two tutorials from academia and industry. On the second day a panel featuring 'The Car as Sensor and Service Provider' with international experts in the field will be held.

Specific areas of interest in Applications and Services on Wireless Networks include, but are not limited to the following topics:

* Sensor networks and applications * Peer to peer communication for infrastructure-less environments * Nomadic Services * Emergency communication * Personalized services and applications * Context acquisition, interpretation, and awareness * Platforms and service support for ubiquitous service provisioning * Middleware for handhelds and mobile services nodes * Mobile service interworking * Service discovery: protocols and frameworks * Naming and addressing * Media & content distribution over wireless networks * Cross-layer design * Cooperative Networks & Self Organizing Systems * Reconfigurable Systems and Networks * Advances in WPAN, Personal Services and Networks * Mobile Ad-Hoc Networks and Multi-hop Wireless * Performance of Wireless Networks and Systems * QoS Profiling and Pricing, end-to-end QoS
