TELECOMMUNICATIONS: ENABLING AN OMNIPRESENT WORLD

The annual ICT conference was initiated by the Centre for Telecommunications Research, King's College London, and is receiving the support of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) (Technical sponsorship by the IEEE Communications Society). Based on the initial success of Dubai in 1994, ICT has been held in Bali, Indonesia (1995), Istanbul, Turkey (1996), Melbourne, Australia (1997), Chalkidiki, Greece (1998), Jeju, Korea (1999), Acapulco, Mexico (2000), Bucharest, Romania (2001), Beijing, China (2002), Tahiti, French Polynesia (2003), Fortaleza, Brazil (2004), Cape Town, South Africa (2005), Funchal, Portugal (2006), Penang, Malaysia (2007), St. Petersburg, Russia (2008), Marrakech, Morocco (2009), and Doha Qatar (2010). ICT 2011 is the 18th year of this event.

In the past few years, there has been a growing interest in a pervasive, connected world, where distances shrink and (virtual) presence is everywhere. Next generation wireless networks, heterogeneous access technologies, ad hoc and sensor networks, and new Internet technologies will be part of this new world. The need for new, increasingly robust, self organizing, and context aware networking protocols and techniques will challenge our designs. Security, as well as greening enhancements are becoming indisputable components of today's everpresent technologies, in a world that relies totally on them. ICT 2011 will reflect on such trends. In addition to the numerous technical presentations, ICT 2011 will feature plenary sessions, poster sessions, and panel sessions.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

* Wireless Communications & Networks * Ad Hoc & Sensor Communications & Networks (incl. MANETS and VANETS) * Cellular and Mobile Communications * High Speed Communications and Networks * Broadcast and Satellite & Space Communications * Communications Switching & Routing * Communication Theory * Transmission, Access & Optical Systems * Multimedia Communications * Communications Systems Integration & Modelling * Network Congestion and Flow control * Nature-inspired techniques for solving communication problems * Network Operations & Management * Computer Communications * Embedded System and Networking * Optical Networking * Internet Technology and IP-based Applications * Security, Privacy and Trust * Grid, Cluster and Internet Computing * Peer-to-Peer (P2P) System * Virtuality and Social Networks * Autonomic Computing and Communication * Mobile and Context-aware Networking and Computing * Ubiquitous/Pervasive Networks and Computing * Ubiquitous Intelligence and Smart World * Green Networking

Workshops: Workshops emphasize current topics of particular interest and can include a mix of regular papers, invited presentations, and panels. ICT2011 Executive Committee invites submission of workshop proposals on topics of interest of the conference. We invite prospective organizers to submit their proposals to the Special Sessions/Workshop Chair, by September 30th 2010. Proposals should include at least the following information: Motivation and Objective Scope; Outline of topics which are relevant to the workshop; Biographical sketch of proposer(s).

Tutorials: In addition to its high quality technical programme, ICT 2011 will host several tutorials on different topics from communications and networking. The tutorials are half-day and will take place on Sunday, 8 May 2011.

ICT2011 Executive Committee invites submission of tutorial proposals for half-day presentations on topics of interest of the conference. We invite prospective instructors to submit their proposals, which include the following information to the Tutorials Chair, by November 30th 2010.
