At the same time, there has been a tremendous amount of efforts to fuse these individual technologies to provide non-precedent services to the end users. Also, there have been a lot of trials to apply information and communication technology (ICT) to other industrial sectors such as green convergence, smart screen & appliances, next generation broadcasting and media, mobile convergence networks, and other ICT convergence applications and services, all under the name of "ICT convergence." ICTC is a unique global premier event for researchers, industry professionals, and academics, organized by KICS and ETRI, Korea, with the technical co-sponsorship of IEEE Communications Society, which aims at interacting with and disseminating information on the latest developments in the emerging industrial convergence centered around the information and communic! ation technologies. More specifically, it will address challenges with realizing ICT convergence over the various industrial sectors, including the infrastructures and applications in wireless & mobile communication, smart devices & consumer appliances, mobile cloud computing, green communication, healthcare and bio-informatics, and intelligent transportation. The conference will include technical sessions, tutorials, and invited industrial sessions. You are invited to submit papers in all areas of infrastructures, services, and applications for ICT convergence. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings with assigned IEEE ISBN number and will also be included in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. The proceedings will be indexed by SCOPUS and EI Compendex. RELATED TOPICS: Potential topics in this conference include, but are not limited to: * Wireless & Mobile Communication Systems and Infrastructure * Communication Networks and Future Internet Technologies * Information & Communication Theory, and Their Applications * Mobile Cloud Computing & Communication System and Applications * Smart Media & Broadcasting, and Smart Devices/Appliances * Green Communication Technologies and Solutions * Smart Grid Infrastructure and Applications * Maritime Communications Systems & Networks * Vehicular Information and Communication Technologies * u-Healthcare Systems, and Bio-informatics & Its Applications * Military and Defense Technologies * Public Protection & Disaster Relief (PPDR) Communication * Machine-to-machine Communication Infrastructure and Applications * Encryption and Security for ICT Convergence * Other Services and Applications for ICT Convergence SUBMISSIONS: ICTC 2012 invites the submission of original, unpublished research work (including position papers) that is not currently under review elsewhere.
