* Scope and Motivation*

The ever increasing market penetration of smart-phones, tablets, and
netbooks, along with the ubiquitous availability of wireless networks
are deeply influencing the way people live, work, interact, and
socialize. However, the broad popularity and diffusion of innovative
services and applications tailored at mobile users is also raising
challenging research issues that require us to rethink available
mobile technology solutions to meet the emerging needs of a broader
and ever growing user base.

The goal of iCOST'2012 is to bring together researchers and
scientists to present and discuss advances on selected topics in
Mobile & Wireless Networking. The conference aims to address recent
research results and to present their methodologies, models,
technologies, systems, tools, applications, work in progress and experiences.

**Topics of Interest**
