Scope And Subject
Scope of the Conference:
The aspiration of NCWEBCAP-08 is to bring together experts from the IT and Computer Science field to discuss on the state of the art and to present new research findings and perspective of future developments with respect to the subjects covered in the conference theme. Any successful research must be useful to the society. The real world problems are pervasively imprecise and uncertain, where precision and certainty carry a cost. Information systems and information technology are pervasive in the whole communications field, which is quite vast, encompassing a large number of research topics and applications: from practical issues to the more abstract theoretical aspects of communication; from low level protocols to high-level networking and applications; from wireless networking technologies to mobile information systems; many other topics are included in the scope of NCWEBCAP-08.
