SCOPE OF CONFERENCE 


The Internet has evolved from an infrastructure looking for networked applications into an 
infrastructure struggling to meet the social, technological and business challenges posed by 
multitude of bandwidth hungry emerging applications. The EuropeComm conference brings 
together decision makers from the EU commission, top researchers and industry executives to 
discuss directions of communications research and development in Europe. Also, the symposium 
will attract academia and industry representatives, as well as government officials to discuss the 
current development and future trends in technology, applications and services in the 
communications field.
