                       ** SCOPE **
 
The goal of this workshop is to address technical challenges and research
issues in providing broadband wireless services and applications.
 
Recent advances in wireless and mobile communications have set the scene for
introducing new services.  The demand for broadband wireless services and
applications is huge and growing rapidly.  People are increasingly relying
on mobile systems and devices for information,
communications, and entertainment.   We are moving into an era of
pervasive computing (computing at any place and at any time) and ubiquitous
communications (communication at any place and at any time), which provides
ample opportunities for emerging wireless services and applications.  This
workshop solicits the state-of-the-art approaches and technical solutions in
the area of broadband wireless services, enabling technologies such as
middleware,
and novel wireless applications.   BroadWISE 2004 will provide a
compelling forum for socialization and formal discussion of the research
challenges with seasoned practitioners and colleagues from throughout the
industry and academia.
