Future Network and MobileSummit 2012 takes place in Berlin, Germany, 04 - 06 July 2012. This is the twenty-first in a series of Annual Conferences supported by the European Commission, which regularly attracts over 500 delegates from industry and research to share experiences and research results, identify future trends, discuss business opportunities and identify opportunities for international research collaboration under the ICT Theme of Framework Programme 7 (FP7). It will thus contribute to showcasing European research in the field, and position it within the multiplicity of related initiatives supported in other regions of the world.

In the context of convergence and innovation, the 21st Future Network and MobileSummit will address the challenges of building the Future Internet Infrastructures, based on mobile, wireless and fixed broadband communications technologies.

The Scientific Programme will incorporate all the key constituents of Future Communication Networks including

- Radio Access and Spectrum

- Converged and Optical Networks

- Future Internet Technologies

- Integrated Space Communications

Supported by the European Commission and the Net!Works European Technology Platform, Future Network and MobileSummit integrates high-level industry/policy plenary sessions that discuss strategic issues for Future Networks with high quality technical/scientific tracks and workshop sessions. Technical/scientific tracks present papers that showcase original results and hot topics in all areas of mobile, wireless and fixed broadband communications systems and networks.

The Call for Papers and Workshop Proposals for Future Network and MobileSummit 2012 is published with a deadline of 09 December 2011 for paper submissions.

We would like to thank those who submitted papers. The papers are currently being blind peer reviewed by the Technical Programme Committee. Authors will receive notifications in late January when the paper review is available online.

While European funded research results are of particular interest, innovative research funded commercially or at national level is equally interesting from a community perspective. The participation of representatives of leading commercial, research and regulatory organizations in the Conference Community ensures a stimulating and high quality networking environment.

The Call for Exhibitors will be published on 31 January 2012 with a deadline of 29 February 2012.
