Since many years, 15 for CFIP (Colloque francophone sur l’ingénierie des protocoles) and 11 for NOTERE (Nouvelles Technologies de la Répartition), those two conferences decided to merge in order to create a larger and more visible event. The main objective is to gather under a unique conference, to a unique place, the scientific community composed of engineers, academics, researchers and industrials.

This conference addresses the domains of networks and services, networks of telecommunications, distributed systems and applications, design, implementation, deployment and evaluation of software architectures, applications, platforms and distributed systems.

The international conference CFIP/NOTERE is a bilingual forum (French/English). It offers the possibility to exchange ideas and to present recent works and results related to the above mentioned domains.

CFIP/NOTERE 2012 will include famous invited conferences, tutorials and workshops. The conference will take place at the « IUT de Bayonne, site de Montaury” – ANGLET, France, at 5 km of the world famous city of Biarritz.
