INC 2004
Fourth International Network Conference
6 - 9 July 2004
Invitation to INC2004
We invite you to participate in the International Network Conference 2004,
to be held in Plymouth, UK, from 6 - 9 July 2004. This conference, the
fourth in a series of biennial events, will bring together leading figures
from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest advances in
networking technologies from research and commercial perspectives.
INC events have always attracted an international audience and papers on a
wide range of topics. INC 2002 included 72 papers and attracted delegates
from 23 countries. Feedback at all previous events was extremely positive
and it is intended that INC 2004 will build upon this success.
The 2004 conference will again take place in the historic city of Plymouth,
on the south-west coast of England. The event will be held over four days,
encompassing 3 days of presentations delivered by researchers from across
the international community. Social events and a conference banquet will
also take place, ensuring that delegates also have a chance to relax and
enjoy some of the many sights that the region has to offer.
INC 2004 is co-sponsored by the Institution of Electrical Engineers, the
British Computer Society, Orange Personal Communications Services Limited,
Emerald, and the international journal Internet Research. You are warmly
invited to participate in this conference and we look forward to welcoming
