ComNetSat 2012 - 2012 IEEE International Conference on Communication, Networks and Satellite (ComNetSat)

The IEEE International Conference on Communication, Networks and Satellite (COMNETSAT 2012) targets to address current state of the technology and the outcome of the ongoing research in the area of Telecommunications, Networks and Satellite Systems. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome. COMNETSAT 2012 covers theory, design and application of computer and telecommunication, networks and satellite systems. During recent years there as been an impressive increase in the use of networked applications and networks are now key resources in any information system configuration. Wireless and fixed line networks complemented by a growing range of mobile devices are having a significant impact on the way we run our lives and our business. ComNetSat 2012 invites papers, original & unpublished work from individuals active in the broad theme of the conference.
The conference proceedings will be published by IEEE and will be indexed in Ei Compendex and ISTP. All registered & presented full papers will be considered to be published to IEEE Xplore. Soon after the Conference, selected authors will be invited to publish the extended versions of their papers in various special issues of our forthcoming international journals and edited research books.
Selected papers accepted for the COMNETSAT will be considered further for a Special issue of the International Journal of Internet Protocol Technology http://www.inderscience.com/browse/index.php?journ... . These selected papers must be extended by at least 40% to be considered for the journal.
