5th European Personal Mobile Communications Conference The Ubiquitous Provision of Innovative Wireless Services 22-25 April 2003, Glasgow, Scotland http://www.epmcc.com/ The Conference Wireless Communications is moving rapidly towards the provision of multimedia services with a user-centric focus. This provision will occur at the home, at the workplace, at leisure and during travel. Therefore the vision is the ubiquitous provision of wireless services which will become more and more innovative as they are driven by the demands of the user and as a result of competition between the service providers. This is the theme which has been chosen for the 5^th European Personal Mobile Communications Conference which will be held in Glasgow from 22 25 April 2003. The focus of the Conference will be the technical challenges which need to be met in order to make the vision of the ubiquitous provision of innovative wireless services a reality. The conference was first held in Bologna in 1995 to mark the centenary of the experiments on radio transmission carried out by Guglielmo Marconi. It has been held on a bi-annual basis in the capitals of Germany, France and Austria since then and has become established as the leading mobile communications conference based in Europe. University of Strathclyde campus In 2003 the conference will be held at the University of Strathclyde 22 - 25 April and will be preceded, on 22 April, by a series of tutorials by leading experts on topics in 3^rd and 4^th generation wireless systems. The General Chair of the conference is Professor John Dunlop, University of Strathclyde. The conference will be managed by the Institution of Electrical Engineers and will be divided into two parallel tracks. Track 1 will be concerned with radio propagation issues and track 2 will be concerned with services and protocols for radio communications systems.

   The Conference

   Wireless Communications is moving rapidly towards
   the provision of multimedia services with a user-centric focus. This
   provision will occur at the home, at the workplace, at leisure and
   during travel. Therefore the vision is the ubiquitous provision of
   wireless services which will become more and more innovative as they
   are driven by the demands of the user and as a result of competition
   between the service providers. This is the theme which has been chosen
   for the 5^th European Personal Mobile Communications Conference which
   will be held in Glasgow from 22 25 April 2003. The focus of the
   Conference will be the technical challenges which need to be met in
   order to make the vision of the ubiquitous provision of innovative
   wireless services a reality.

   The conference was first held in Bologna in 1995 to mark the centenary
