   The first  IEEE  and IFIP  International  Conference in  central  Asia  on
   Internet (ICI 2005), the next  generation of Mobile, wireless and  Optical
   communications Networks  will  be held  in  Bishkek Kyrgyzstan.  ICI  2005
   invites high-quality recent research  results in the  areas of Mobile  and
   Wireless Communications, optical communications  and networking, the  next
   generation of  Internet, Application  to Electronic  and Mobile  Commerce.
   INTERNET access  and  broadband  technologies facilitate  the  way  we  do
   business. Optical  and Wireless  technologies have  a worldwide  installed
   base and  widely  available  on PCs,  peripherals,  embedded  systems  and
   inter-satellite links.  The  main  goal  of the  conference  is  to  bring
   together scientists and engineers who work in these fields. The first IEEE
   and IFIP International  Conference on Internet  ICI 2005 will  be held  in
   central Asia, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, September 26 through 29, 2005. ICI 2005
   is the  first conference  in  its series  aimed at  stimulating  technical
   exchange in  the  emerging and  important  field of  Optical,  mobile  and
   wireless  Internet  and  communications  networks  and  its  important  in
   Electronic and  Mobile Commerce.  ICI 2005  seeks to  address and  capture
   highly innovative and state of the  art research and work in the  wireless
   and Optical industries. The scope of the conference includes a wide  range
   of technical  challenges in  view  of the  growing interest  for  wireless
   access to Internet and the evolution of third generation cellular  systems
   included ITU  IMT/UMTS.  The  conference  also  accepts  progress  on  IST
   European Commission  funded research  projects.  The Authors  can  present
   their finding on wireless quality of service, resource management, Ad  Hoc
   and sensor networks. Radio interface design, adaptive antennas and  arrays
   and  indoor  propagation,  measurement   and  predictions  also  will   be
   considered. A  growing number  of  digital devices  inside homes  and  the
   application of Ultra Wide Band (UWB),  as well as Spectrum efficiency  and
   low power  consumption including  low cost  and secure  wireless  personal
   access are some of the areas to be considered in this conference.  Optical
   communications networks are becoming increasingly important as the  demand
   for  high  capacity   links  are  required.   Dense  wavelength   division
   multiplexing (DWDM) is widely deployed at the core networks to accommodate
   high capacity  transport  systems.  Optical components,  such  as  optical
   amplifier, tunable filters, transceivers, termination devices and add-drop
   multi-plexers are  becoming  more  affordable  and  reliable.  Access  and
   metropolitan  area   networks   are  increasingly   built   with   optical
   technologies to overcome the electronic  bottleneck at network edges.  New
   components and subsystems for high-speed optical networks offer new design
   options. The objective of this event  is therefore to foster the  exchange
   of information among researchers in these fast-moving fields. The  authors
   can present  their  finding on  new  Fibers, optical  fiber  gratings  and
   devices, optical amplifiers,  optical sensing and  medical application  of
   fiber optics and opto-electronics.
