Scope
The Fifth International Conference on Communication System
Software and Middleware (COMSWARE) will be held from July 4th
to July 7th, 2011 in Verona, Italy. The conference will focus on the
state of the art in the design, implementation and use of
communication systems software and middleware systems,
ranging from traditional telecommunication systems to mobile
computing, multimedia systems, peer-to-peer networks and
Internet services. The areas of interest will also include the
interoperation, integration, connectivity and management of
communication systems software and middleware systems. The
COMSWARE conference is the premier international forum for
researchers, business leaders, educators and practitioners to
present and discuss the performance of current systems, in conjunction with the current trends and potential
concerns in the field of communication systems software and middleware systems. The conference will
feature a high quality technical program consisting of invited speakers, research and industry papers and
workshops.
