Substantial new breakthroughs are happening in telecommunications technology. This volume presents a state-of-the-art review of the current research activities in intelligent network technology. It contains the proceedings of a workshop on intelligent networks organized by the International Federation of Information Processsing and held as part of the Third Summer School on Telecommunications in Lappeenranta, Finland, August 1994.

WWIC2008wasorganizedbytheTechnicalUniversityofTampere, Finland, and it was the sixth event in a series of InternationalConferenceson Wired/Wireless Internet Communications. Previous events were held in Coimbra (Portugal) in 2007, Berne (Switzerland) in 2006, Xanthi (Greece) in 2005, Frankfurt (G- many) in 2004, and Las Vegas (USA) in 2002. The WWIC 2008 call for papers attracted 67 submissions from 33 co- tries, which were subject to thorough review work by the Technical Program Committee members and additional reviewers. The selection process resulted in acceptance of 18 papers, organized into 6 single-track technical sessions. The WWIC 2008 main technical program covered studies on performance analysis of wireless systems, topics on resource and QoS management, and issues on implementation techniques, mobility, cross-layer design and wireless sensor n- works. The technical program was complemented by two keynote speeches, by Nestor Peccia (European Space Agency, Darmstadt, Germany) on "Interpla- tary Internet," and Arto Karila (Helsinki Institute of Information Technology, Finland), on"Multi-Accessin RegionalNetworks."Inadditionto themainte- nicalprogram, thelastdayoftheconferencewasdedicatedtotheSecondERCIM workshop on eMobility. WWIC has been selected as the o?cial annual conference by COST Action 290 (Wi-QoST-Tra?c and QoS Management in Wireless Multimedia Networks) since 2005, and this time the conference was co-located with the ?nal mana- ment committee meeting of the Action. For that reason, two sessions of WWIC were dedicated to the Action, and in those sessions a distinguished selection of the results of COST Action 290 were presented. Those papers were selected from the submissions to the general call for papers according to the same strict criteria as the other accepted papers.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Conference on Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking, NEW2AN 2007, held in St. Petersburg, Russia in September 10-14, 2007.

The 39 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from a total of 113 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on teletraffic, traffic characterization and modeling, 3G/UMTS, sensor networks, WLAN, QoS, MANETs, lower layer techniques, PAN technologies, and TCP.
