 Third International Conference on

 New Technologies, Mobility and Security

 Technically Sponsored by IEEE COMSOC and IFIP TC6 WG

 December 20 - 23, 2009 - Cairo - Egypt

 http://www.ntms-conf.org/

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-
