Overview

--------

NTMS'2009 is the Third IFIP International Conference on New
Technologies,

Mobility and Security that will be held from 20 to 23 December 2009
in

Cairo, Egypt. NTMS'2009 conference is technically sponsored by IFIP
TC6 WG.

NTMS'2009 aims at fostering advances in the areas of New
Technologies,

Wireless Networks, Mobile Computing, Ad hoc and Ambient Networks,
QoS,

Network Security and E-commerce, to mention a few, and provides a
dynamic

forum for researchers, students and professionals to present their

state-of-the-art research and development in these interesting areas.
The

event will be combined with tutorial sessions and workshops.
Tutorials

will precede the main program, aiming at the dissemination of mature

knowledge and technology advances in the field. Two or more Workshops
will

immediately follow the main conference, offering the opportunity for
a

more focused exchange of ideas and presentation of on-going research

relevant to following tracks (More information and the full call-for-
