Mobile
communications have remained one of the most vibrant and stimulating
areas driving
forward the
Information and Communications Technology. Quite clear is appearing the
tomorrow’s picture of networks and communications, that is, convergence
of diversified networks, integration of IP based core network and
flexible robust wireless access, self-organization and self-management,
on-demand service-oriented architectures, to just mention a few striking
characteristics.
Pervasive
computing is emerging as the next paradigm for distributed and mobile
computing through building systems of communicating miniaturized
devices, sensors and actuators in which ambient, personalized
trustworthy services built out of pervasive infrastructure and
information are seamlessly available anywhere, anytime, and in all
forms. By embedding ambient intelligence in everyday objects, our
workplaces, our homes and even ourselves, pervasive computing and
communications will enable a new breed of applications and systems which
are composed of massive smart objects to create the environments that
underpin a smart world.
MCPC 2009
provides a premier forum for researchers and engineers alike to present
state-of-the-art research and development progresses in all areas
related to architecture, design, implementation, application and
evaluation of mobile communications and pervasive computing as these
technologies are permeating and integrating into our everyday living and
working environments.
