Electromagnetics nowadays enables many mass market applications such as wireless communication systems (including mobile phones), games consoles, wireless LANs , remote control, etc. Coexistence, seamless integration and - as a result -- emission and exposure assessment, interference management or measurement systems are facing new challenges in this new environment.

The past 15 years have seen a surge in efforts and advances in numerical techniques. Taking advantage of the dramatic increases in processing capability, commercial and in-house numerical codes have been further developed and improved to handle realistic configurations. Today's computers are capable of handling large problems having millions of unknowns but they have been designed for deterministic problems and they are not able to manage the complexity and the variability of real-life scenarios.

During the same period, large efforts have been expended in improving experimental methods for characterizing the electromagnetic field. These experimental methods require the incorporation of the effect of dynamics (variable configurations), including multiple-scattering or even resonant environments.

Worldwide efforts are currently carried out in numerical and experimental approaches to manage this  situation, for example for the estimation of the human exposure induced by radiating sources using geostatistics, modelling intrinsic and measurement or numerical uncertainty in electromagnetic environments with the aid of  canonical stochastic fields, use of empirical mode decomposition for information fusion to extract, compute and interpret statistical moments in EM analysis, just to name a few.

Given the importance and the timeliness of this work, Annals of Telecommunications is organizing a Special Issue on these issues, from the perspective of engineering science.
