19th International Conference on Telecommunications

Jounieh, Lebanon | 23-25 April 2012

TELECOMMUNICATIONS: GROWING A CONNECTED WORLD

There is a growing interest in a pervasive and always connected world. The emerging generation of wireless networks, heterogeneous access technologies, ad-hoc and sensor networks, and new Internet technologies will be part of this new world.
While the radio cell size shrinks, there is a need for new, green, increasingly robust, secure, self-organizing, and context-aware networking protocols and techniques that challenge our designs for upcoming technologies, in a world that has become strongly dependent on those communication means. ICT'2012 will reflect on such trends.

The nineteenth International Conference on Telecommunications ICT'2012 will be held under the patronage of His Excellency M. Nicolas Sehnaoui, Minister of Telecommunications in Lebanon.

The annual ICT conference was initiated by the Centre for Telecommunications Research, King's College London.
