Conference Theme -

Intelligent Networking and Systems

The 2005 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensing and Control will be held in Tucson, Arizona, from March 19 to March 22, 2005. The technologies in networking, sensing and control have been playing important roles in our modern civilization and expected to stay as main characters in the future. The conference intends to bring together all researchers and developers in these fields all around the world to share their research results, to exchange ideas and to explore possible collaborations in academic and in industry. The main theme of this year’s conference is "Intelligent Networking and Systems." The area of Intelligent Networking and Systems is a fusion of a number of research areas in networking, sensing, artificial intelligence, operation research, and systems control theory. A system engineering approach is required to address new problems of this challenging and promising area. This conference will provide a remarkable opportunity for the academic and industrial community to address new challenges and share solutions, and discuss research directions for the future. In particular, we would like to encourage more participation from the worldwide related community and promote more their related activities in this unique conference. Technical topics of the conference include but are not limited to:

PROGRAM TOPICS

Smart network Heterogeneous wireless network Network-based computing systems Sensor network Intelligent and collaborative systems Intelligent vehicle highway systems Multi-agent systems Wireless mobile communication Information systems and infrastructure

Fuzzy and neural systems Homeland security Bioinformatics, bio-signals and systems Complex systems modeling and control Smart vision and image processing Smart car and vehicle control Spoken dialogue systems Sensor design, integration, and fusion Micro/nano, electro-mechanical sensor systems
