Conference on Telecommunications
Stuttgart (GER), April 2012 - The eighth Advanced International Conference on Telecommunications (AICT) is being held in Stuttgart, Germany, 27 May-01 June 2012. New telecommunications paradigms such as next-generation networks, IP multimedia systems, and IPTV will be discussed.
AICT 2012 will also cover a variety of challenging telecommunication topics ranging from background fields like signals, traffic, coding, and communication basics up to large communication systems including fixed, mobile, and integrated networks. Applications, services, system, and network-management issues will also receive significant attention.
The spectrum of 21st-century telecommunications is marked by the arrival of new business models, new platforms, new architectures, and new customer profiles.
Mobile and wireless communications add profit to large spectrum of technologies and services. We are witnessing the evolution 2G, 2.5G, 3G and beyond, personal communications, cellular and ad hoc networks, as well as multimedia communications.
Web services add a new dimension to telecommunications, where aspects of speed, security, trust, performance, resilience, and robustness are particularly salient. This requires new service-delivery platforms, intelligent network theory, new telecommunications software tools, and new communications protocols and standards.
A specific workshop focuses on the latest trends in eLearning and also on the latest IT alternatives that are poised to become mainstream strategies in the near future and will influence the eLearning environment. Participants will consider the challenges of creating and managing vast amounts of eLearning, how the upcoming IT technologies influence eLearning, and how web-based educational materials should be developed to meet the demands of the long-life, motivated, and very often self-directed students.
The Conference also addresses teletraffic modeling and management, covering traffic theory, traffic control and QoS, performance-evaluation methods, network design and optimization of wired and wireless networks, and simulation methodology for communication networks. Results are expected to enrich the theory and practice for designing and building large and manageable networks and services.
