ICUMT is an annual international congress providing an open forum for researchers, engineers, network planners and service providers targeted on newly emerging algorithms, systems, standards, services, and applications, bringing together leading international players in telecommunications, control systems, automation and robotics. The event is positioned as a major international annual congress for the presentation of original and fundamental research and engineering results.
Following the success of the first two events that took place in St. Petersburg (2009) and in Moscow (2010), each time attracting 200-300 participants from both academia and industry, ICUMT 2011 is a three-days event offering a number of plenary sessions, technical sessions, and specialized workshops. The conference will consist of two tracks, i.e. ICUMT-T (Conference on Telecommunications), and ICUMT-CS (Conference on Control Systems, Automation and Robotics).
The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original, previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and development in all areas of computer networking and data communications. All papers will be reviewed.
