http://conf.uha.fr/ICT2003.html
GENERAL INFORMATION
ICT was firstly initiated by King's College, London (UK) and is receiving the support of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEE). Based on the initial success of Dubai in 1994, ICT has been held yearly in Bali (1995), Istanbul (1996), Melbourne (1997), Chalkidiki (1998), Taejon (1999), Acapulco (2000), Bucharest (2001) and Beijing (2002). Many scientists, students, professionals and technical staffs, representing a large variety of organizations such as universities, research institutes, telecommunication operators and industry have attained each previous ICT events. The 10th edition of ICT will be held in Tahiti, Papeete, French Polynesia. ICT 2003 will offer tutorials, plenary sessions, poster sessions, panels and exhibition opportunities. ICT 2003 will cover a variety of challenging telecommunication topics ranging from background fields like signals, traffic, coding, communication basics up to large communication systems and networks, fixed, mobile and integrated, etc. Applications, services, system and network management issues will also receive significant attention.
