to the applications of the given topics.

Please feel free to contact the program chair at WAWC@lut.fi to
determine the appropriateness of the topic.


What to submit
Submission should be full papers, maximum of 10 single-spaced A4 pages,
including figures, tables and references using point 11 font.

A good paper demonstrates that

      * Application area presented is or will be of greater interest of
        majority
      * Wireless communication has a significant role in the solution
      * The realization of the application presents a new way of doing
        things

Papers may be selected as:

      * Full papers (max. 10 pages)
      * Posters

WAWC'05 among most conferences and journals requires that papers must be
