This symposium aims to provide a platform for researchers in the area of wireless pervasive computing to showcase their results, ideas, as well as to interact with colleagues from this area. The scope of the symposium covers concepts and enabling technologies of wireless pervasive computing. This includes topics in wireless communications and networking, as well as services and applications of pervasive computing. A series of panel and tutorials will also seek to inform and invoke interaction among both experts and researchers which are interested in this area.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

• Wireless communication systems
• Radio resource management and allocation
• Wireless access techniques
• Cross-layer air interface design
• Mobile Internet
• Innovation in satellite communications
• Wireless privacy and security
• Wireless services and applications
• Wireless IP
• Wireless network architecture and technologies systems
• Digital signal processing
• MANET
• End-to-End QoS provision
• Coding modulation and equalization
• DVB and DAB techniques
• Novel wireless switching and routing techniques
• Mobility management
• Antenna and RF subsystems
• MIMO
• Traffic control and engineering
• UWB
• Wireless sensor networks
• Innovative services and applications

Acceptance will be based on an extended abstract (NOT the full paper) of about 1500 words (two pages in the standard IEEE conference format). The extended abstract should include diagrams, initial results, and other detail required for the reviewers to be able to assess the contribution of your work. In addition to the extended abstract, a short paper description (approx. 150 words). Extended abstract must be submitted electronically by May 1, 2005, via the conference Web site: http://www.iswpc.org

PANEL SESSIONS & TUTORIALS

Proposals for Tutorial and Panel Sessions are also being solicited.
