ISSLS 2004
15th International Symposium on Services and Local Access
21-24 March 2004,
Edinburgh, UK.
With its excellent reputation and tradition for quality, informative and
thought-provoking papers and discussion, ISSLS has become the focal point
for setting directions for access networks and service evolution. Special
emphasis is given to interaction between authors and participants.
ISSLS 2004 in Edinburgh will provide the platform for access network
operators, service providers, industry suppliers and researchers to engage
in a fruitful dialogue. In addition to published proceedings, speakers will
provide updated presentations to reflect the latest developments in their
topic.
Edinburgh is where Alexander Graham Bell was born and educated. A genius and
visionary, he laid much of the groundwork for telecommunications as we have
known it for over a century. But now the public telephone network is on the
threshold of tremendous changes and advances. What better place to hold
ISSLS, the premier international symposium on telecommunications services
and local access, than Edinburgh, Scotland.
