South Africa in recent years has continued to create
significant excitement in R&D. This excitement is being supported by
government, the National Research Fund (NRF), Department of Science and
Technology (DST), industry and research organisations with strong
collaboration and support from the European Union through its framework
programs and the AU. This conference therefore is organised to further
report and add impetus to the emerging collaborations and provide
researchers the avenue for networking.
In 2008 the International conference on wireless
broadband and ultra wideband communication) is being hosted by South Africa
with stronger and more broad emphasis. The current emphasis reflects the
growing interest in new areas of broadband communications. In 2008 the
conference is being co-organised by South Africa's leading research
organisations. The core theme of the conference has been expanded to include
applications of broadband communications, broadband biomedical applications
and biotechnology.
The conference is co-organised by the French South
African Technical Institute in Electronics (F'SATIE); Tshwane University of
Technology (TUT), South Africa; Meraka Institute, South Africa; University
of Technology Sydney, Australia, University of Cape Town and the Cape
Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT), Cape Town, South Africa and South
African National Centre for Informatics, Knowledge Management and Knowledge
Economy (SANCIKMKE).
The current research trend reflects
the growing interest in new areas of broadband communications. International
conference on Broadband Communications, Information Technology & Biomedical
Applications (BroadCom' 08) is a
major annual international conference to bring together researchers,
engineers, developers and practitioners from academia to industry working in
multi-disciplinary area and technically converging areas of wireless
communication. As a field of explosive growth, development, and application,
BroadCom'08 will enable the creation of future broadband wireless communication
systems, networks and services. Following the big success of Auswireless
2007 and Auswireless 2006, BroadCom' 08 continues to serve as a forum to
aggregate state-of-art researches, ideas, creations, implementations in the
fields of Broadband Communications, Information Technology & Biomedical
Applications. In 2008 the conference is being co-organised by South Africa's
leading research organisations. The core theme of the conference has been
expanded to include applications of broadband communications, broadband
biomedical applications and biotechnology.
BroadCom 2008 is sponsored and co-organised by the French South African
Technical Institute in Electronics (F'SATIE); Tshwane University of
Technology (TUT), South Africa; University of Technology Sydney, Australia; River Publisher, Denmark; IEEE;
University of Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula University of Technology (CPUT),
Cape Town, South Africa.
You are cordially invited to submit papers in all areas of wireless
broadband communications, IP networks, services, and applications. All
papers submitted to this conference are always peer-reviewed. All accepted
papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore
digital library and the best papers from the conference will be published as
a book of best papers by River Publishers of Denmark (as in 2007). Other
short-listed papers will also be published in a special edition of the
African Journal of Information and Communication Technology (AJICT). Potential topics are included, but are not limited to the following broad
themes and tracks:
