Call for Papers

The IADIS Telecommunications, Networks and Systems 2008 conference covers theory, design and
application of computer and telecommunication networks and systems. During recent years there has been
an impressive increase in the use of networked applications and networks are now key resources in any
information system configuration. Wireless and fixed-line networks complemented by a growing range of
mobile devices are having a significant impact on the way we run our lives and our businesses.

This conference provides an international forum for academic researchers and industry practitioners to share
and exchange their experiences, discuss challenges and present original ideas in all aspects of networks, telecommunications and systems. We welcome research papers which deal with specific networked
application issues, telecommunications and networking research problems and implementation or case study
reports.

The conference offers an opportunity to discuss ideas about newly emerging systems, protocols, standards,
services, and applications in the area of telecommunications and networking.
