IADIS INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
TELECOMMUNICATIONS, NETWORKS AND SYSTEMS 2007
Lisbon, Portugal, 3 to 5 July 2007
(http://www.tns-conf.org/)
part of the IADIS Multi Conference on Computer Science and Information
Systems (MCCSIS 2007)
Lisbon, Portugal, 3 to 8 July 2007
(http://www.mccsis.org)

* Conference background and goals
The IADIS Telecommunications, Networks and Systems 2007 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.

* Format of the Conference
The conference will comprise of invited talks and oral presentations.
The proceedings of the conference will be published in the form of a
book and CD-ROM with ISBN, and will be available also in the IADIS
Digital Library (http://www.iadis.net/dl). The best paper authors will
be invited to publish extended versions of their papers in a special
issue of the IJBDCN - International Journal of Business Data
Communications and Networking (ISSN: 1548-0631) and in the IADIS
Journal on Computer Science and Information Systems (ISSN:
1646-3692).
