* Conference background and goals
The IADIS Wireless Applications and Computing 2007 conference addresses
several themes related to theory and practice within wireless networks,
computing and application related areas. Enormous developments in
wireless technologies made in recent years enabled both researchers and
industry to create new, innovative wireless and mobile application and
services, protocols, middleware platforms and application frameworks.
Corresponding research is related to all communication layers, but also
includes application-related topics, theoretical results and
non-technical issues. Main topics have been identified (see below).
However, innovative contributions that don't fit into these areas
will also be considered since they might be of benefit to conference
attendees.

* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations.
