The theme for WTS 2012 will be "Global Wireless Communications: A European Perspective". Other planned highlights of WTS 2012 include executive presentations and keynote addresses; presentations of accepted academic and practitioner research papers; panel discussions; tutorials and workshops; a poster paper session; and a doctoral students' session. Refereed proceedings will be published by the IEEE and be available on its Xplore online publication system. The proceedings also will be distributed at the Symposium via a CD. Awards will be given for the most outstanding paper presented and best graduate and undergraduate student papers presented. Some selected high quality papers from WTS 2012 will be considered for publication in a special issue of the International Journal of Interdisciplinary Telecommunications & Networking, IGI Global publisher, pending their successful extension and an expedited review process.
