XXX Extended Deadline: 19 April 2009
EuropeComm 2009 -- The First International ICST Conference on
Communications Infrastructure, Systems and Applications in Europe
11 - 13 August 2009, London, UK

Keynote: European Union and the Future Internet
by Paulo T. de Sousa
Head of Sector, Internet of the Future, Directorate-General
Information Society, European Commission

Technically co-sponsored by CREATE-NET and Swansea University
Rapidly decreasing costs of computational power, storage capacity, and
communication bandwidth have led to the development of multitude of
applications carrying increasingly huge amount of traffic on the
global networking infrastructure. What we have seen is an evolution:
an infrastructure looking for networked applications has evolved into
an infrastructure struggling to meet the social, technological and
business challenges posed by multitude of bandwidth hungry emerging
applications.
Developments in optical communication technologies have shown
potential of meeting technological challenges for bandwidth demands.
Various solutions have been proposed so far for the discrete parts of
the optical network infrastructure, however the most fundamental
challenge at this point of optical networking evolution, apart from
enhancing these solutions and inventing novel ones, is to combine
these parts under a unified control and management framework. Although
wireless technologies have undergone massive improvements, wireless is
far from meeting mobility, bandwidth and other QoS challenges posed by
the current and future applications and services. With an increasing
number of collocated personal, local and cellular wireless
communication systems the questions of optimum coexistence and
inter-networking are raised.
While bandwidth, mobility and QoS requirements for many existing
applications are on the rise, new applications and services are
emerging, such as in healthcare and transportations sectors. These
emerging services are making the design space for infrastructure
developers even more challenging.
We organize a Symposium on Communications encompassing mobile, optical
and converged technologies as well as services and applications. We
have identified two key application themes of these technologies for
the discussions during the event. These are Intelligent Transportation
Systems and Healthcare services. We also foresee Future Internet
Infrastructure and Services, Open Architectures and Innovation
Processes as the key cross-cutting subjects for the symposium.
The event will bring together decision makers from the EU commission,
top researchers and industry executives to discuss directions of
communications research and development in Europe. Also, the symposium
will attract academia and industry representatives, as well as
government officials to discuss the current development and future
trends in technology, applications and services in the communications
field.
You are invited to submit full papers using the Assyst submission
