The 1st International Conference on Mobile Lightweight Wireless Systems
(MOBILIGHT 2009)
May 18-20, 2009, Athens, Greece

Sponsored by
ICST
Technically Co-Sponsored by
Create-NET
*** Submission Deadline -- December 7, 2008 (Hard deadline) ***
----------------------------------------------------------------------
SCOPE
Wireless communications are becoming increasingly pervasive, as the
number and diffusion of portable wireless-equipped devices is
exponentially increasing (ranging from cellular phones to handheld game
consoles, from personal digital assistant and personal navigation
devices to still and video cameras). This results into an unprecedented
request for lightweight, wireless communication devices with high
usability and performance able to support added-value services in a
highly mobile environment - following the user everywhere he goes (at
work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.), but also in
opening exciting research, development and business opportunities.
This scenario clearly demands significant upgrades to the existing
communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services
to support the ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANY DEVICE philosophy, introducing
novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on research and
development in the field of information and communication technologies.
The core issue is to support wireless users' desire of 24/7 network
availability and transparent access to "their own" services.
In this framework and motivated by the interdisciplinary competences
needed to build successful lightweight wireless systems, the MOBILIGHT
conference will provide an international forum where practitioners and
researchers coming from the many areas involved in lightweight wireless
systems design and deployment will be able to interact and exchange
experiences.
The event will enable information exchange and cross-fertilization among
the different worlds of academy, research centers and industry through
the organization of specific and interacting tracks related to:
(i)technology, including wireless (WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) as well as
architectures and design methodologies to support seamless access to the
communication facility;
(ii) services, in the vision of "always on" requirement;
(iii) business models, opportunities and solutions.
