   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.
