ConTEL 2007
9th International Conference on Telecommunications
Zagreb, Croatia, June 13-15, 2007

The 9th International Conference on Telecommunications, ConTEL 2007, will be held in Zagreb, Croatia, from June 13–15, 2007. 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 Agents and Multiagent Systems for Networks and Services.
