Wireless VITAE is the first international conference broadly addressing the wireless developments in the world by fusing the communities from four different IEEE societies. The theme of the first international Wireless VITAE conference is TERRA. Terra (earth) symbolises the trends and developments on seamless, secure, innovative, personalized technologies, supporting all areas of a wireless human life towards Tbit/s in wireless communications.

The overall purpose of the conference is to address the trends, challenges and future roadmaps within wireless technologies namely, WiMAX and related technologies, extended wireless (dot-to-dot communication), wireless sensor/actuator networks, dynamic spectrum access and cognitive radio, mobile Television, vehicular wireless networks, wireless connectivity for airplanes, personalized technologies and security, seamless mobility etc.

About the conference
5 parallel tracks divided into topic areas. Each session will include keynote presentations, technical presentations, panel sessions, open discussions sessions, specialised workshops and tutorials.

Manuscript submission
Contributors should submit a full paper for review of no more than 5 pages (A4) in length, either in MS Word or Adobe PDF. Accepted full papers will be published on the Conference proceedings CD-Rom.

The organizing committee for Wireless VITAE '09 invites you to submit full papers on the following topics (but not limited to) by electronic submission on:
