The aim of CHINACOM is to bring together Chinese and International players
in networking and communications under one roof, building a showcase in
communications and networking research in China.

China's information technology industry and research have been developing at
an enormous pace in the last 20 years. Currently China has the largest
wireless mobile and the second largest Internet subscriber population in the
world. By the end of 2005, the mobile phone users have reached 388 million
(19% of the world market), and the number will be over 500 million by 2008
and over 150 million will be multimedia applications. Internet users have
exceeded 100 million (half of them are broadband service subscribers). The
total sale of optical cables & fibers reached 15 million kilometers in 2004,
with the sale of the whole optical communication facility market reaching
1.5 billion USD. Furthermore, business/market factors in this area in China
are unique since they are Government driven and mixed with culture,
technology, and market forces. 

CHINACOM is being positioned as the premier international annual conference
for the presentation of original and fundamental research advances in the
field of Communications, Networks, and Internet Applications. The conference
will consist of Technical Symposia, and Workshops. The Technical Symposia
will describe significant research in all areas defined below; while the
Workshops will focus on development, applications and related business
issues.

previously published and are not currently under review for publication
elsewhere. Topics include, but are not limited to:
