Invitation to Participate
ITCom 2003

Plan now to participate!

The 3rd Annual ITCom+OptComm 2003 will be held in Orlando, Florida, and will
be co-located with NFOEC - The National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference.

The conferences offered at this symposium include multimedia networks, voice
over the Internet, quality of service, high-performance and mobile
computing, wireless communications and networks, optical communications
(components and system) and networks, and information storage systems and
networks.

ITCom+OptComm will provide the ideal forum for scientists, researchers,
engineers and executives to map the road ahead for the convergence of voice,
video and data communications over high speed networks. Presenting your
research at ITCom+OptComm 2003 is a must if you work with multimedia
applications, or in high-speed network design or maintenance.

As the setting for ITCom+OptComm 2003, the Orange County Convention Center
provides an excellent venue to discuss the latest multimedia and networking
technologies. Orlando is one of America's destination cities, and the
convention center is within minutes of Disney World and SeaWorld. With a
yearly average temperature of 80degrees, almost every day in Orlando brings
perfect weather.

We welcome your participation and urge you to submit an abstract to the
appropriate conference described in this call for papers.

Join us for ITCom+OptComm 2003 in Orlando!
