Networks for the e-Society
Networks 2010 is the 14th in the series of the Networks symposia. Since the first conference in Paris (France) thirty years ago, the meetings are attracting world-class participants from all over the world, ranging from telecom operators and regulatory and standard bodies, through systems and software companies and research units from universities and industry, to systems integrators. The consecutive meetings have been held in Brighton, UK (1983), Innisbrook, USA (1986), Palma de Mallorca, Spain (1989), Kobe, Japan (1992), Sydney, Australia (1996), Sorrento, Italy (1998), Toronto, Canada (2000), Munich, Germany (2002), Vienna, Austria (2004), New Delhi, India (2006) and Budapest, Hungary (1994 and 2008).
The conference will focus on network design and planning methods, the issues of routing, traffic flows and optimization that are necessary to deliver the promise of the Network of the Future. The motto of Networks 2010 is Networks for the e-Society.
There are many challenges in building networks with the appropriate performance for the e-Society, such that each step is cost-justified and helps drive profitable growth. The difficult issues of scalability, end-to-end network performance, network management, network and service control, reliability, security and interoperability must be carefully resolved, and solutions planned and implemented.
Apart from parallel technical sessions, Networks 2010 will also offer a number of plenary sessions and tutorials. The conference program will also include invited state-of-the art presentations and lectures from both academia and industry. The social events such as welcome reception, get-together party and gala dinner providing additional opportunities for the exchange of views, are also planned.
It is a great honor and pleasure for me to cordially invite you to participate in Networks 2010, the 14th International Telecommunications Network Strategy and Planning Symposium in Warsaw, Poland.
