Professor Qusay H. Mahmoud, University of Guelph, Canada

* 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.
