Interscience Open Access Journals

One of the most dramatic technological developments in the era of information technology is the deployment of communication networks. This on-going revolution has raised and continues to raise fundamental challenges in the fields of science, engineering and industrial technologies. It requires new solutions, formulations and techniques for scientists and engineers from the communities of systems engineering and communications. The realization of wireless connectivity is bringing fundamental changes to telecommunications and computing and profoundly affects the way we compute, communicate, and interact. It provides fully distributed and ubiquitous mobile computing and communications, thus bringing an end to the tyranny of geography.
This confernce shall provide a new forum for dissemination of knowledge on both theoretical and applied research on computer communication, network and security with an ultimate aim to bridge the gap between these coherent disciplines of knowledge. This forum accelerates interaction between the above bodies of knowledge, and fosters a unified development in the next generation communication.
