Call for Papers
12th European Wireless Conference
www.ew2010.org
Lucca (Tuscany), Italy
April 12-15, 2010
Submission deadline: Oct 30, 2009

** GENERAL

The 12th European Wireless Conference will take place in the city of
Lucca, heart of Tuscany, Italy, from April 12 to April 15, 2010 and
will be hosted by the IMT Institute for Advanced Studies
(www.imtlucca.it), a post-graduate school recently founded in Lucca,
which awards PhD degrees to a restricted group of outstanding students
from all over the world.

The 2010 edition of the conference will revolve around a main theme:
"Towards the Future Internet". One of the key objectives of research
in wireless communication, and notably the main one of 4th generation
cellular/mobile networks, is full integration of wireless segments
into the all-IP pervasive and ubiquitous network of the future,
regardless of the nature (wired or wireless) of the physical media.
In addition to technical sessions, tutorials and demonstation/poster
sessions will be hosted.
