Introduction

The technical program was organized around nine sessions: multimedia services, ubiquitous services, wireless testbeds and new capabilities, ORBIT testbeds, wireless testbeds and new capabilities, next generation wireless networks, protocol testbeds, optical and high-speed networks and testbeds and measurements. The conference scope has been broad, yet specifically focused on testbeds and research infrastructures. Most importantly, the conference also hosted 6 demos, thus providing a hands-on experience for the attendees. It is a unique pleasure to thank all colleagues who contributed to the organization, the definition of the technical program, and the review process.
