ConTEL 2005
8th International Conference on Telecommunications
Zagreb, Croatia, June 15-17, 2005

The 8th International Conference on Telecommunications, ConTEL 2005, will be held in Zagreb, Croatia, from June 15-17, 2005. Through its technical program, the conference will provide an opportunity for the academic and industrial community to address new research challenges, share solutions and discuss issues in information and communication technology (ICT) referring to modern telecommunications.

Zagreb is a charming city offering a pleasant mix of Western European business style and Mediterranean informality. Every visitor may find a favorite spot, be it behind the well-preserved walls of its romantic Upper Town, or in a daily hustle and bustle of cafes, restaurants, and stores in its Downtown. Further on, the wonderful coast of northern Adriatic, as well as the exceptional Plitvice Lakes National Park, are just a few hours' drive away.

A broad range of topics is proposed. This year we particularly encourage submissions in the area of IPv6 deployment and applications, which will be considered in parallel for publication at ConTEL and in an international journal (details to be announced later). Papers that describe testbeds, measurements, experiences and solutions in IPv6 transition and deployment, as well as papers related to IPv6 applications, are invited.

WORKSHOPS AND TUTORIALS
A tutorial/workshop proposal should contain the tentative title of the tutorial/workshop, speaker(s) short biography and contact information, an extended abstract (up to 2000 words), and a table of contents of the material to be covered. Proposals should be sent by e-mail to the Program Chair by due date.

For general and technical program inquiries about the conference, please contact the Program Chair.
