The explosive growth of IEEE802.11b (Wi-Fi), the ongoing change of spectrum management policies and the technology boost making wireless wideband a reality are bringing high bandwidth wireless connectivity to the masses. Connectivity and networking built "on-demand", where and when they are needed in an evolutionary and incremental fashion with limited investments, is spawning new research and business opportunities, offering unprecedented possibilities to support working communities and ubiquitous, cooperative computing. Many aspects of the current wireless LANs growth resemble the rapid, and in part anarchic and unexpected, evolution of the wired Internet. The road is traced and enthusiasm is mounting but many challenges have to be solved before providing seamless communication, reliable quality, secure high bandwidth connectivity, and useful services. The conference will concentrate on new research issues open in the "wireless Internet" context, including design, modelling and performance evaluation, pricing and profitability models, QoS models and practical implementation. Sound experimental evaluation of new techniques will also be considered. The meeting will take place in one of the finest winter resorts of the Alps, Madonna di Campiglio, in the Trentino region. The cozy atmosphere of the conference hotel, facing one of the most spectacular panoramas in the Alps, will facilitate concentration and creativity. The schedule of the meeting will consist of presentations in the morning and in the afternoon/evening. A pause after lunch will allow social activities and informal interaction among the participants. Topics comprise, but are not limited to: - Wireless access to the Internet - Modelling and performance evaluation of wireless LANs - Quality of service and pricing ("charging for quality") - Traffic and user activity models - Service differentiation mechanisms - Virtual operators in WiFi networks - Pervasive / ubiquitous computing - Location and context-awareness - Wireless LANs design - Management, authentication, authorization and accounting - On-Demand, Ad-Hoc Networks ---------------------------------------------------------- Keynote speech: "Ad Hoc Wireless Networks: Protocols and Applications" Mario Gerla, Computer Science Department, UCLA ---------------------------------------------------------- Conference Proceedings will be published by Springer in the series "Lecture Notes in Computer Science". Extended versions of the best papers will be considered for publication on a special issue of Kluwer/ACM Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET). A Best Paper Award will be assigned at the conference. ---------------------------------------------------------- Important deadlines: - August 1st, 2003 (Hard Deadline): Electronic Full Paper Submission - September 30, 2003: Acceptance Notification - October 15, 2003: Final Version Due ---------------------------------------------------------- General Chair: Roberto Battiti, University of Trento, Italy Local Organization Chairs: Sandro Pera, University of Trento, Italy Alessandro Villani, University of Trento, Italy Publicity Chairs: Mauro Brunato, University of Trento, Italy Tutorials and Sponsorships Chairs: Paolo Simonetti, Provincia Autonoma di Trento, Italy Program Committee Chairs: Marco Conti, CNR Pisa, Italy Renato Lo Cigno, University of Trento, Italy Technical Program Committee: Arup Acharya, IBM T.J.
