The convergence of communications, information technologies and the Internet has ushered in a
revolution in the way people communicate with each other. The key enabler for this convergence has
been the advancement of software technology in various communication sectors, as evident by the high
levels of activity in the industry, academia, and standards bodies, coupled with the increasing
dependence of this convergence to sustain and improve growth rates in many countries around the world. This new international conference will provide a forum to exchange ideas, techniques, and experiences,
among researchers, practitioners, standards developers and policy makers in the field of software
techniques in communications. The conference will bring leading researchers and practitioners in areas
ranging from communications software and software engineering aspects of communications software,
to middleware and networking protocols. The conference will be organized to provide for a high degree
of collaboration, participation and discussions of the various topics among multi-national participants from the industrial, governmental and academic sectors.
COMSWARE will include a regular paper track and an industry track. The paper track will include a
highly selective technical program. The conference solicits original, previously unpublished research
work, experimental efforts, and practical experiences for the technical program. COMSWARE will also
feature panel discussions from experts in academia and industry, workshops and tutorials featuring the
state-of-the-art in various telecommunication software-related areas. There will be demos and exhibits
that will expose the delegates to exciting products and software solutions from industry and academia.
The top papers accepted to the conference will be published in a journal. Areas of interest include, but
are not limited to:
- Communications Software
- Reconfigurable Software Stacks
- Software Engineering Aspects of Communications
