Introduction

2014 International Conference on Communication Technology and System (ICCTS 2014) will be held on May 9-10, 2014, Shanghai (Kunshan), China.

ICCTS 2014 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in Communication Technology and System. Our conference provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of Communication Technology and System.

The goal of this conference is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of Communication Technology and System. The complete list of topics are updating. Please check the Call for Papers section.

ICCTS 2014 will be published in WIT Transactions on Information and Communication Technologies (ISSN: 1743- 3517) , which will be indexed by EI Compendex and ISTP.

ICCTS 2014 将被WIT信息与通信技术出版，并被EI检索，目前，该期刊2013年EI检索正常。
