2008. Six to eight workshops will be held in conjunction with ICCCN 
2008. The workshops aim to explore special topics and provide 
international forums for scientists, engineers, and computer users to 
exchange and share their experiences, new ideas, and research results on 
hot and broad topics on computer communications and networks. Workshops 
for presenting papers from industrial companies and papers on 
implementations of systems and services are also very welcome. Running a 
workshop in association with ICCCN is of high visibility, since it is a 
major IEEE international event in the field. This is the second time in 
its 17 years history to embrace workshops. The proceedings of the 
workshops program will be published, as the ICCCN 2008 main conference, 
by IEEE Communications Society and IEEE Digital Library.

limited to:
