The 4th Asian Internet Engineering Conference (AINTEC) provides a international technical forum for experts from industry and academia, especially aiming at addressing issues pertinent to the Asia and Pacific region with vast diversities of socio-economic and networking conditions while inviting high quality and recent research results from the global Internet research community. AINTEC 2008 follows the three successful editions held in Thailand but, first time, is in cooperation with ACM SIGCOMM. The conference proceedings will be published by the ACM Digital Library.

The conference is single-track and features a technical program with significant opportunities for individual and small-group among a diverse set of participants. The technical sessions will include invited talks by leading experts, presentations of papers, demos, posters and a pre-conference (19th Asian School on Computer Science on 15-16 November 2008).

AINTEC 2008 solicits high quality papers that improve digital communications in diverse situations, represented as "Challenged Networks".

Areas of interest include, but are not limited to the followings:

Networking technologies in developing regions
Emergency networks and dependable infrastructures
Ad hoc and sensor networking and applications
Wireless and mobile networks
Delay and disruption tolerant networks
Autonomic and situated communications
New networking paradigm and architecture
Location management and positioning
