[ICT'08] NEW2AN 2008 and ruSMART 2008 - less than a month to submission deadline

Sincere apologies for receiving this CFP more than once

The 8th International Conference on
Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced Networking
NEW2AN 2008
http://www.new2an.org/

September 01 - 05, 2008
St.Petersburg, Russia

co-located with The 1st conference on Smart Spaces ruSMART
http://www.new2an.org/rusmart

CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Next-generation mobile networks will evolve out of existing wired and
wireless networks of different nature by means of convergence, fusion
and mutual penetration; next-generation multimedia services in turn pose
new requirements and challenges on treatment of traffic within
communication systems – a certain degree of multilayer co-operation has
to be achieved. This forms a framework on harmonization of results
obtained separately in different areas of network research like network
performance evaluation, architecture and protocol design, and low layer
network design. The conference goal is in the identification,
investigation and integration of new algorithms, approaches,
architectures, methods and mechanisms to enable proper and efficient
operation of a next-generation IP-based wireless network. Special
emphasis will be given to next-generation traffic issues, it indeed
remains true that much uncertainty surrounds the future traffic features
and volumes, mainly because of converged type of traffic resulted from
converged network operation under converged services and applications.
Moreover, wireless access networks and their interaction shall be widely
examined and addressed throughout the conference.
The history of NEW2AN dates back to 1993, today it is an established
conference featured by proceedings published by Springer LNCS and
distinguished invited speakers.

The NEW2AN and ruSMART will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the
meeting point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and
wonderful art galleries and museums, among a number of other
attractions, the wealth of history of East and West can be seen and felt
in this beautiful city.

CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

Recent advances in the field of wireless networks have moved them beyond
their traditional areas of application to a much broader scope. They
form a space where users can access a number of wireless technologies to
interact with various services. Similarly, existent and future services
form a space providing an unlimited set of possibilities ranging from
browsing to interactive video conversations. All these layers form a
smart environment that can harmonize a number of technologies at each
architectural layer to provide the best user experience.

This conference will explore and explain the scope and challenges of
smart spaces. In this regard, the conference aims to bring together
research professionals from diverse fields including but not limited to
wireless communication, ubiquitous networks, software development,
multimedia, services, and business in both academia and industry.

The 1st Russian Conference on Smart Spaces ruSMART 2008 will take place
on September 5th, 2008. It will be co-located with the 8th International
Conference Next Generation Teletraffic and Wired/Wireless Advanced
Networking NEW2AN 2008.

The ruSMART 2008 will be held in St. Petersburg, Russia - the meeting
point of East and West. Through its stunning architecture and wonderful
art galleries and museums, among a number of other attractions, the
