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), Jeju (1999),
Acapulco (2000), Bucharest (2001) Beijing (2002), and Papeete (2003). 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 11th edition of ICT will be held in Fortaleza , Ceara , Brazil . ICT
2004 will offer tutorials, plenary sessions, poster sessions, panels and exhibition
opportunities.
