This edition of ICT 2001 has a particular character, being the first ICT conference in the Third Millennium, thus effectively making the bridge between millennia. This conference is scientifically sponsored by international organizations and technically endorsed by many industry leaders. A significant target of ICT events is to highlight the most relevant communication technologies trends and related information technologies as well. The conference tutorials are focused on key new topics in the field. The session and poster presentations usually cover the most advanced topics on telecommunications, with professionals coming from different places of the world. ICT 2001 intends to have a large international participation and is going to bring together scientists from all over the world as well as companies, manufacturers, telecommunication operators, service developers, and other organizations interested in telecommunications. ICT HISTORY =========== ICT was firstly initiated by King's College, London (UK) and is receiving the support of Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (IEEE) and Institute of Electrical Engineering (IEE). Based on the initial success of Dubai in 1994, ICT has been held yearly in Bali (1995), Istanbul (1996), Melbourne (1997), Chalkidiki - Porto Carras (1998), Taejon (1999, http://ict99.icu.ac.kr ) and Acapulco (2000, http://telecom.fi-b.unam.mx/ict/ ). Many scientists, students, professionals, and technical staff, representing a large variety of organisations such as universities, research institutes, telecommunication operators and industry, have attained each previous ICT events. ICT 2001 ======= The 8th edition of ICT will be held on 4-7 June 2001 in Bucharest, Romania. ICT 2001 will offer tutorials, plenary sessions, poster sessions, panels, and exhibition opportunities. ICT 2001 will cover a variety of challenging telecommunication topics ranging from background fields like signals, traffic, coding, communication basics up to large communication systems and networks, fixed, mobile and integrated. Applications, services, system and network management issues will also receive significant attention. ICT 2001 will have as an associate event a technical exhibition for equipments, hardware and software technologies, as well as special courses on high-tech products, providing an excellent opportunity of promoting new achievements in the field. PLACE OF THE CONFERENCE ======================== The place of the conference is Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, the Parliament International Conference Centre. The history of Romania is a major part of the history of central-eastern Europe. Rooted in the Roman Empire of the first millennium AD, Romanians have continuously inhabited the same geographical area. Romania is a Latin language country. Bucharest has been founded in 1459 on the banks of the Dambovita river in the southeast part of the country by the ruler Vlad Tepes and became later the capital city of the Princely Court. After the achievement of the Romanian national unity (1859), Bucharest became and remained the capital of the country. Bucharest has more than two million of inhabitants. Bucharest hosts many industrial companies' headquarters, and stays as the main cultural center of Romania, with many universities, theatres, opera, and museums. The city is situated close to the beautiful natural Herastrau Park. Not far away from Bucharest are Prahova Valley and Carpathian Mountains (100 miles/160 km), where some on-demand trips could be organised for visiting medieval castles and churches. ...and Dracula's Castle is just there.
