Beginning with the first event in 2002, the International Conference on Wired/ Wireless Internet Communications (WWIC) has continuously been established as a highly selective conference focusing on integration and co-existence of rapidly dev- oping wireless network technologies and their applications related to the Internet. To do so WWIC provides an international forum for presenting and discussing cutti- edge research in this domain, and the 8th edition of WWIC, held at Lulea University in June 2010, continued this tradition. The WWIC 2010 call for papers attracted 45 submissions from more than 25 countries and each contribution was subject to thorough peer review by recognized int- national experts that acted as members of the Technical Program Committee. The selection process resulted in 16 accepted papers, which were thematically grouped into 5 technical sessions. The major themes of WWIC 2010 were cooperation, management of multimedia traffic, advancing IEEE 802.11, cognitive optimization, mesh and multi-hop networks, security, signaling, control, and wireless sensor networks."

The seventh edition of the International Conference on Wired/Wireless Int- net Communications (WWIC) was organized by the University of Twente in May 2009. Since the ?rst event in 2002, WWIC has been established as a highly selectiveconferencefocussingonthe rapidlydeveloping?eldof wirelessnetwo- ing, and providing an international forum for the presentation and discussion of cutting-edge research in the ?eld. The WWIC 2009 call for papers attracted 39 submissions from 20 countries, which were subject to thorough review by the Technical Program Committee members and additional experts. The selection process resulted in the acc- tance of 13 papers, organized into 4 technical sessions. The major themes of WWIC this year were energy e?ciency, security, reliability, and routing p- tocols in wireless sensor and ad hoc networks as well as handover and mobility managementin heterogeneousenvironments. We aregratefulto MatthiasGro- glauser (Nokia Research Center, Finland, and EPFL Lausanne, Switzerland), who accepted our invitation to give the WWIC 2009 keynote speech. Further, we would like to thank Hans Appel (Sun Microsystems, The Netherlands), and Remco Litjens (TNO ICT, The Netherlands) for giving invited presentations at this year's event. In addition to the main technical program, the third ERCIM workshop on eMobility took place on the ?rst day of WWIC 2009. We thank the authors for choosing WWIC 2009 as the conference to submit their results to.
