============ INC 2002 ============
Third International Network Conference Call for Papers 16-18 July 2002, Plymouth, United Kingdom http://www.plymouth.ac.uk/inc2002
Invitation to INC 2002 ====================== We invite you to participate in the International Network Conference 2002 to be held in Plymouth, UK, from 16-18th July 2002. This conference, the third in a series of such events, will bring together leading figures from both academia and industry to present and discuss the latest advances in networking technologies from both research and commercial perspectives.
The first event, INC 98, was held in Plymouth in 1998, attracting an international audience and papers on a wide range of topics. This success was continued with INC 2000, with delegates attending from 18 countries. Feedback from conference delegates at both events was extremely positive and it is intended that INC 2002 will be similarly successful.
The 2002 conference will again take place in the historic city of Plymouth, on the south-west coast of England. The event will be held over three days, encompassing presentations delivered by researchers from across the international community. Social events and a conference banquet will also take place, giving an opportunity to exchange state of the art results and advances in both formal and informal settings.
The conference is co-sponsored by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the British Computer Society, Orange Personal Communications Services Limited, MCB University Press (Emerald), and the international journal Internet Research. You are warmly invited to participate in this conference and we look forward to welcoming you to INC 2002.
