http://www.iaria.org/conferences2009/ECUMN09.html
ECUMN 2009 (European Conference on Universal Multiservice Networks) is the
5th conference of a successful series started in Colmar (2000), and
subsequently held in Colmar (2002), Porto (2004), and Toulouse (2007). ECUMN
2009 is organized by IARIA with technical co-sponsorship of SEE. It will be
held in Sliema, Malta, from October 11 to October 16, 2009. ECUMN 2009 scope
puts specific emphasis on Service provisioning, and Service differentiation
issues. Graceful evolution of networks, new access schemes, flexible
protocols, increased variety of services and applications, network
reliability and availability and security, are some of the present and
future challenges that have to be met by the various technologies that will
be discussed during the conference. ECUMN 2009 will focus on today's and
future services over the Internet ranging from games to professional
services using wired and wireless technologies. ECUMN 2009 is organized by
academic, research and industry organizations. The goal of the ECUMN
conference is to bring together researchers from the academia and
practitioners from the industry in order to address network and service
convergence issues. The conference will provide a forum where the academia
shall be able to present up-to-date research results and the industry
describes emerging technologies and new research problems related to them.
The topics suggested by the conference can be discussed in term of concepts,
state of the art, research, standards, implementations, running experiments,
applications, and industrial case studies. Authors are invited to submit
complete unpublished papers, which are not under review in any other
