It was not an easy decision to carry on organizing a scientific event on wireless communications, where competition is really enormous. This decision was motivated by discussion with many colleagues about the current unprecedented demand for light- weight, wireless communication devices with high usability and performance able to support added-value services in a highly mobile environment. Such devices follow the users everywhere they go (at work, at home, while travelling, in a classroom, etc.) and result in exciting research, development and business opportunities. Such scenarios clearly demand significant upgrades to the existing communication paradigm in terms of infrastructure, devices and services to support the “anytime, anywhere, any device” philosophy, providing novel and fast-evolving requirements and expectations on re- search and development in the field of information and communication technologies. The core issue is to support wireless users' desire for 24/7 network availability and transparent access to "their own" services. In this context, we continue to envision an international forum where practitioners and researchers coming from the many areas involved in lightweight wireless systems’ design and deployment would be able to interact and exchange experiences. For this reason, MOBILIGHT was again targeted toward information exchange and cross- fertilization among the different worlds of academia, research centers and industry through the organization of specific and interacting tracks related to: (1) technology, including wireless (WPAN, WLAN, WMAN/cellular) as well as architectures and design methodologies to support seamless access to the communication facility; (2) services, in the vision of “always on” requirement; (3) business models, opportunities and solutions. The Technical Program Committee of MOBILIGHT 2010 gathered more than 60 leading scientists and was assisted by at least 30 additional external reviewers, origi- nating from more than 20 countries worldwide. More than 100 registered participants attended MOBILIGHT 2010. The conference attracted more than 90 submissions, and the final technical program encompassed 65 high-quality research papers organized in three workshops and ten special sessions, most of them including up-to-date results from research projects funded by the European Commission (NEWCOM++, REWIND, MIMAX, OMEGA, SELF-NET, ICARUS, MOBILIA, INSPIRE). All submitted papers were peer-reviewed by at least three independent reviewers (includ- ing two TPC members) to ensure high quality and standards. The technical program of MOBILIGHT 2010 also included four plenary talks by internationally recognized industrial and academic leaders, covering up-to-date re- search and development topics, as well as funding opportunities within the interna- tional and European research communities. Moreover, the technical program included VI Foreword two tutorials focused on a machine-to-machine communication paradigm in addition to basics and future developments of radio communications. Finally, two panels took place in order to provide discussion between the audience and top-level experts from research and industry. Selected topics for this year were “Wireless Communications for Improving Security in High-Speed Railway Transportation Systems” and “Future and Applications of Wireless Mesh Networks.” We would like to express our gratitude to all the people of the organizing commit- tee for their hard teamwork and true dedication. In particular, our gratitude goes to the Technical Co-chairs, Ignacio, Massimiliano and Oliver, for their constant support and fruitful suggestions, to ICST and CREATE-NET for providing technical and financial sponsorship of the event and, last but not least, to Prof. Imrich Chlamtac for his pre- cious suggestions and his vision. But most of all, we would like to thank the authors and contributors for trusting the organizing committee and giving us the chance to set up a high-level technical program. Lastly, we are very grateful for all the hard work done and the support offered by all the reviewers for the thorough review reports and constructive remarks aimed ensuring at high technical quality. The conference proceedings are published by Springer and will be available in Springer’s Lecture Notes of the Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering (LNICST). Selected high-quality papers will be invited to special issues in prestigious international journals. Detailed information and photos are available at the conference website, http://www.mobilight.org . We are looking forward to meeting you at the next MOBILIGHT 2011 that will be held in Bilbao (Basque Country), Spain, in May 2011.
