The success of this event, demonstrated by an overwhelming International participation, has shown the increased interest in the area and its potential in revolutionising the way in which future mobile communications networks will develop. It is beyond any doubt, that the benefits that can be derived from the widespread introduction of Software Radio concepts are far reaching and will have profound implications particularly for the mobile communications sector actors namely manufacturers, operators, service providers, users, regulators, and standardisation bodies. This workshop takes place in conjunction with the ACTS Mobile Communication Summit, an annual event aiming to provide a major International forum for the dissemination of the results of the European Research Initiatives, relating to 3rd Generation Mobile Communication Systems such as UMTS, MBS and WLAN's including their Satellite components which this year will take place on June 8-10, in Rhodes Greece. This 1st International Workshop on Software Radio Technologies is organised by the European Union funded ACTS projects in close co-operation with the MMITS Forum and will provide a unique opportunity to review the latest developments in the field, while permitting to identify the challenges ahead.
