December 6@2006 Subject: [IEICE-CS Information<2006-19>]Call for Papers: MobileSummit2007 Call for Papers: MobileSummit2007, The 16th IST Mobile and Wireless Communications Budapest, Hungary 1-5 July 2007 URL (http://www.mobilesummit2007.org/) 1. General information One of the aims of the Summit is to give a report on the progress achieved in European research projects in the field of mobile and wireless communications in Information Society Technologies. However, being an open call conference it is by no means limited to these projects. A second aim is to give a forum for researchers, service providers and regulators from all over the world to present their results and to exchange their views. Besides of technical results and progress, techno-economic, regulatory and security issues form also part of Summit&undefined;s topic. Authors are invited to submit high-quality full papers representing original results in all areas of wireless communications systems and networks, mobile and fixed, terrestrial, satellite and HAP. Fully reviewed papers accepted by the TPC are either for oral or for poster presentation. However, this decision is based on what is more appropriate for the very paper and by no means on its quality; papers accepted as posters are not at all of "lower rank". 2.
