CONFERENCE THEME

INFORMATION NETWORKS: ENHANCING CHANGE IN THE GLOBAL COMMUNITY
==============================================================

ATNAC 2008 is a major Australasian conference, a meeting of
telecommunications research and development staff from
universities and industrial research laboratories from the
region. After last year's success of running the conference
for the first time in Christchurch, New Zealand, the
ATNAC 2008 returns to Australia, to the beautiful and
hospitable city of Adelaide. Members of the ATNAC 2008
Organising Committee include representatives from Australia's
and New Zealand's leading R&D institutions. As is the
ATNAC tradition, we will bring together telecommunications
researchers and students, equipment and service providers,
user groups, regulators and infrastructure planners.
ATNAC 2008 attendees will be able to learn about, share and
discuss, the latest research results and the developments in
telecommunication networks and applications. The ATNAC 2008
program will feature highly regarded keynote speakers,
research papers presented in oral and poster sessions,
industry presentation sessions, panel sessions and a choice
of tutorials.
