ICTRS - the International Conference on Telecommunications and Remote Sensing, is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination forum that brings together Researchers and Practitioners interested in Telecommunications and Remote Sensing. In 2015, ICTRS will be held in Rhodes, Greece, following previous events in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (Luxembourg, 2014), The Netherlands (Noordwijkerhout, 2013) and Bulgaria (Sofia, 2012).

Publication

in the international journal ANNALS OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS - http://annalsoftelecommunications.wp.mines-telecom.fr/,
will be published extended versions of up to three best ICTRS'15 papers

All accepted papers will be presented at ICTRS 2015, included in the conference proceedings, published by SciTePress, and will be included in the
SciTePress Digital Library - http://www.scitepress.org/DigitalLibrary
