“Green and Cognitive Communications for the Future”

Themed as “Green and Cognitive Communications for the Future”, ISCIT 2011 (The 11th International Symposium on Communications & Information Technologies) covers the entire range of information and communications technologies (ICT), providing an international forum for world’s leading researchers to present original ideas and contributions in the form of technical papers, keynote speech, panel discussions, posters as well as demonstrations in intelligent communications, green networking and advanced signal processing employed to support the needs of the future ICT. This symposium seeks to address and capture highly-innovative and state-of-the-art research from global academia, industry as well as standardization organizations, deeply discussing the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications. The topics of interests for regular sessions include, but are not limited to, the followings:

• Cognitive radio and cognitive networks
• Internet of things
• Green radio and energy-efficient networks
