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.
