Overview

--------

NTMS'2009 is the Third International Conference on New Technologies,
Mobility and Security that will be held from 20 to 23 December 2009 in
Cairo, Egypt. NTMS'2009 conference is technically sponsored by IEEE
COMSOC, IFIP TC6 WG and IEEE Egypt.

NTMS'2009 aims at fostering advances in the areas of New
Technologies, Wireless Networks, Mobile Computing, Ad hoc and Ambient
Networks, QoS, Network Security and E-commerce, to mention a few, and
provides a dynamic forum for researchers, students and professionals
to present their state-of-the-art research and development in these
interesting areas. The

event will be combined with tutorial sessions and workshops.
Tutorials will precede the main program, aiming at the dissemination
of mature knowledge and technology advances in the field. Two or more
Workshops will immediately follow the main conference, offering the
opportunity for a more focused exchange of ideas and presentation of
on-going research relevant to following tracks (More information and
the full call-for-
