CONFERENCE AIMS
*****************************************

Communication networks of today are going through a rapid evolution. Different kinds of networks with
different characteristics are emerging and they are integrating in heterogeneous networks.
For these reasons, there are many interconnection problems which may occur at different levels in
the hardware and software design of communicating entities and communication networks.
These kinds of networks need to manage an increasing usage demand, provide support for
a significant number of services, guarantee their QoS, and optimize the utilization of network resources.
Therefore, architectures and algorithms in these networks become very complex and it seems imperative
to focus on new models and methods as well as mechanisms, which can enable the network to perform
adaptive behaviours.

The success of all-IP networking and wireless technology has changed the ways of living for
the people around the world. The progress of electronic integration and wireless communications
is going to pave the way to offer people the access to the wireless networks on the fly, based on which
all electronic devices will be able to exchange the information with each other whenever necessary.
Also, ubiquitous computing is an emerging field of research for computing paradigms in the 21st century.
This emergence is the natural result of research and technological advances mainly in wireless
communications, mobile computing and agent technologies. Supported by recent technological advances
in low power wireless communications along with silicon integration of various functionalities
such as sensing, communications, intelligence and actuations, ad-hoc networks and sensor networks
are emerging as a critically important disruptive computer class based on a new platform, networking
structure and interface that enable novel, low cost, high volume applications such as nuclear,
biological and chemical attack detection and protection, home automation, battlefield surveillance
and environmental monitoring.
