CALL FOR PAPERS

Placing people at the centre of an 'all-communicating' world is the exciting vision of ambient intelligence. New paradigms in the areas of network design, transmission technology, hardware and software solutions, applications, services, and business models will be necessary to realize such interactive environments. The arising challenges are currently being addressed in a number of research projects within the European Information Society Technologies (IST) framework.

The 14th IST Summit focuses on bringing together experts from the worldwide wireless industry and research communities, with a special emphasis on providing a forum for European research initiatives. Recent advances in all fields related to mobile and wireless communications will be presented, thereby facilitating the identification of future trends, illumination of business opportunities, and discussion on the future roles of various bodies from academia, industry, and research centres in helping to form the vision of an ambient, truly intelligent communications environment.

Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers representing original results in all areas of wireless communications systems and networks, including their terrestrial, satellite and high altitude platform components. Submitted papers should not exceed five pages. Accepted papers will be published in conference proceedings.
