Call for Papers 7th International ICST Conference on Communications and Networking in China (ChinaCom2012) August 8-10, 2012, Kunming, China http://awtrc.ict.ac.cn/uploads/homepage/index.html or http://www.chinacom.org/2012/ (In construction) Communications and networking technologies are developing rapidly in recent years. New topics and ideas are flourishing, such as Cloud Computing, Green Radio, Internet of Things, Heterogeneous Networking, and so on. The aim of CHINACOM is to bring together Chinese and international researchers and practitioners under one roof to exchange ideas and disseminate scientific results from cutting edge and emerging research areas in communications and networking. Following the great success of the past CHINACOM2006-2011, CHINACOM2012 will be held in Kunming, China in August 2012. Prospective authors are welcome to submit original technical papers for publication in the conference proceedings and for presentation at the following symposia (topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following lists): Frontiers on Communications and Networking Symposium Co-chairs: Yonghui Li, University of Sydney Xinbin Wang, Shanghai Jiaotong University Kai-Kit Wong, University College London Zhengang Pan, Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute Corp.
