Welcome from the Technical Program Chairs

MONAMI 2010 is covering a range of topics in mobile networks and their management that are currently of high interest in the mobile and wireless research area. In particular, multiaccess networks, along with the associated resource management issues, self organizing network management architectures and service provisioning have emerged as core topics in the design, deployment and operation of current and future networks. After a thorough peer review process, 24 submissions were selected based on their relevance to the scope of the conference and their technical merit. These will all be orally presented during the conference sessions and are included as full papers in the MONAMI 2010 proceedings. Further, five position papers, reporting work in progress and presenting future research directions, were selected after a peer-review process that focused on relevance and originality. The position papers will complement the program and are also included in the conference proceedings. MONAMI adopts a single-track presentation format, which fosters full and active participation by all attendees.

In addition to the oral presentations of the selected papers, the conference program features two keynotes. Professor Joan Serrat of UPC will introduce the C3SEM Project Vision in a talk titled "Service Management in Future Networks". José Manuel Hernández of Telefónica R+D will give the second keynote on "Smart Cities: The Silent IoT Revolution". Last but not least, the conference will open with a world-class tutorial on Machine to Machine (M2M) communications, a topic of active and growing interest, by Mischa Dohler and Jesús Alonso-Zárate.

We acknowledge the vital role that the Technical Program Committee members and referees played during the review process. Their efforts ensured that all submitted papers received thorough and constructive comments during the peer-review evaluation. We also want to thank Carlo Giannelli, our Publications Chair, for making sure that the Proceedings CD is assembled with great care.

Finally we would like to welcome you, the participant, at the conference. By attending MONAMI 2010 you will have the opportunity to network and get informed about the latest results and developments in top EU projects. We expect that this year's program will trigger fruitful discussions making the conference a very active forum, and foster future cooperation between the participants.
