The 7th International Conference on Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking NEW2AN 2007 http://www.new2an.org/

September 3 - 7, 2007 St.Petersburg, Russia

CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Next-generation mobile networks will evolve out of existing wired and wireless networks of different nature by means of convergence, fusion and mutual penetration; next-generation multimedia services in turn pose new requirements and challenges on treatment of traffic within communication networks. This forms a framework on harmonization of results obtained separately in different areas of network research like network performance evaluation, architecture and protocol design, and low layer network design. The conference goal is in the identification, investigation and integration of new algorithms, approaches, architectures, methods and mechanisms to enable proper and efficient operation of a next-generation IP-based wireless network. Special emphasis will be given to next-generation traffic issues, it indeed remains true that much uncertainty surrounds the future traffic features and volumes, mainly because of converged type of traffic resulted from converged network operation under converged services and applications. Moreover, wireless access networks and their interaction shall be widely examined and addressed throughout the conference.

Since the middle of the 1990s a sequence of seminars and conferences sponsored by International Teletraffic Congress (ITC) have been successfully organized in Saint-Petersburg. The meeting point between east and west, the mutual history and experience can be seen and felt in the host country and the beautiful city.
