EUNICE 2005: Networks and Applications Towards a Ubiquitously Connected World IFIP International Workshop on Networked Applications, Colmenarejo, Madrid/Spain, 6-8 July, 2005

EUNICE is a network of Universities throughout Europe. The EUNICE network has been created to foster the mobility of students, faculty ~nembers and research scientists working in the field of information and com~llunication technologies and to promote educational and research cooperation between its member institutions. The prime means for implementing these goals is the annual Summer School organized by the member institutions. From its conception, the EUNICE Summer Schools were designed as unique events where the joint participation of PhD students and supervisors working in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) is the key to create an event that goes far beyond a conventional international workshop. Furthermore, the Summer School is an open forum for the cooperation of the European member institutions and any other organisation interested European academiclresearch centre at all levels. This cooperation is paramount to successfully construct and participate in the European Higher Education Area, and especially, to achieve easy and effective exchange of research activities.
