Proximate interactions of wireless appliances

Development and progress of appliances enable to envision the design of new application classes that exploit direct communication with a limited range. Mobile users will be able to exchange information dynamically and spontaneously when they are physically close together. The purpose of this position paper is to discuss about some research problems related to these new usage scenarios.
