10^th International Conference on Telecommunications
ICT'2003
February 23-28, 2003 Tahiti, Papeete - French Polynesia
GENERAL INFORMATION
ICT was firstly initiated by King's College, London (UK) and is
receiving the support of Institute of Electrical and Electronic
Engineering (IEEE) and Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEE).
Based on the initial success of Dubai in 1994, ICT has been held
yearly in Bali (1995), Istanbul (1996), Melbourne (1997), Chalkidiki
(1998), Taejon (1999), Acapulco (2000), Bucharest (2001) and Beijing
(2002). Many scientists, students, professionals and technical staffs,
representing a large variety of organizations such as universities,
research institutes, telecommunication operators and industry have
attained each previous ICT events. The 10th edition of ICT will be
held in Tahiti, Papeete, French Polynesia. ICT 2003 will offer
tutorials, plenary sessions, poster sessions, panels and exhibition
opportunities.
ICT 2003 will cover a variety of challenging telecommunication topics
ranging from background fields like signals, traffic, coding,
communication basics up to large communication systems and networks,
fixed, mobile and integrated, etc. Applications, services, system and
network management issues will also receive significant attention.
