Abstract:

CHINACOM will be organised second time in 2007. The success of the event is proven by all together 670 submissions to six symposia. Out of these submissions 222 were selected for presentation in different symposia and overall acceptance ratio is 33%.

CHINACOM is a meeting group for leading experts from industry, academia and regulatory bodies. All have their share in making the event one of high quality. At the same time, CHINACOM also offers a wonderful opportunity for young researchers to present and participate in an international forum. A number of measures will be taken in the planning process in order to further increase the exchange of information between specialists and in order to ensure the diversity at the event.

The program for CHINACOM 2007 will be built from elements that allow participants from academia, industry and other types of organizations to select tracks that interest them most. Programme elements include, among others, invited talks of high quality and panel discussions based on controversial topics. The exchange of information will be stressed in the presentation of key research activities in different parts of the world. Also the latest regulatory achievements will be discussed in technical sessions. The keynote speakers include David G. Belanger from AT&T labs and Paulo T. deSousa from European Commission.
