 Technically Sponsored by IEEE, COMSOC and IFIP TC6
 All accepted papers will be published in IEEE Xplore. 
 
Overview
----------------
NTMS'2014 is the Sixth IFIP International Conference on New 
Technologies, Mobility and Security that will be held from March 30th
to 
April 2nd in Dubai, UAE.
 
NTMS'2014 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-papers can be found on the conference web):
