Call For Papers

International Conference on Telecommunications
ICT'2003
February 24-28, 2003 Tahiti, Papeete  French Polynesia

http://conf.uha.fr/ICT2003.html

GENERAL INFORMATION

ICT was firstly initiated by King's College, London (UK) and is receiving
the support of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE)
and Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEE). Based on the initial success
of Dubai in 1994, ICT has been held yearly in Bali (1995), Istanbul (1996),
Melbourne (1997), Chalkidiki (1998), Taejon (1999), Acapulco (2000),
Bucharest (2001) and Beijing (2002). Many scientists, students,
professionals and technical staffs, representing a large variety of
organizations such as universities, research institutes, telecommunication
operators and industry have attained each previous ICT events. The 10th
edition of ICT will be held in Tahiti, Papeete, French Polynesia. ICT 2003
will offer tutorials, plenary sessions, poster sessions, panels and
exhibition opportunities.
ICT 2003 will cover a variety of challenging telecommunication topics
ranging from background fields like signals, traffic, coding, communication
basics up to large communication systems and networks, fixed, mobile and
integrated, etc. Applications, services, system and network management
issues will also receive significant attention.
