researchers from northern and southern countries to meet, exchange ideas and expertise,
initiate and strengthen cooperation between them on topics related to communications and
networking. It positions itself as a platform to researchers and practitioners both from
academia and industry to meet and share cutting-edge research and development in these
fields.
ComNet’2014 will provide an excellent international forum for sharing knowledge and
research results in theories, methodologies and applications in different topics related to
communications and networking, both in wired and wireless networks, from a theoretical
as well as practical point of view. Original papers are invited on topics related to
computer networks, network protocols, wireless networks, data communication
technologies and network security. Authors are solicited to contribute to this conference
by submitting articles that illustrate research results, projects, surveying works and
industrial experiences that describe significant advances in the following areas, but are not
limited to:
