Scope:


    In recent years there have been significant changes in the Central
and Eastern Europe, both in political as well as technological domain.
Communications technology and Telecommunications infrastructure have
become the main driving forces of rapid economic and social
development. The aim of organizers is to bring up professional
discussions of technical themes on current issues and trends to provide
the educational platform and to assure dissemination of the new
knowledge to the participants. The Conference will seek to draw
together researchers, designers and end users from a wide range of
backgrounds to share insights and perspectives on increasingly
important areas of research and advancements in the telecommunications
technology. The event should also give the opportunity to
manufacturers, service providers, and operators of communications and
information technology to gain access to the state of the art of the
new knowledge and trends in this fast developing market.

    Besides Technical program and Invited lectures, there will be
several additional events organized such as Communications' Chapters
meeting of R8 and Video conference, which will link several
universities and other interested institutions to the conference.
