CALL FOR PAPERS

About the Conference

ICUMT is an IEEE technically co-sponsored annual international 
conference providing an open forum for researchers, engineers, network 
planners and service providers in telecommunications targeted on newly 
emerging systems, standards, services, and applications. ICUMT is 
positioned as a premier international annual conference for the 
presentation of original and fundamental research and engineering 
results. The aim of ICUMT is to bring together Russian and international 
players in telecommunications, robotics and control. The conference will 
consist of open call sessions, workshops and industrial panels.

Tracks

ICUMT 2012 will consist of two tracks, i.e. Telecommunications Track 
(ICUMT-T), and Control Systems, Automation and Robotics Track 
(ICUMT-CS). ICUMT-T is an annual international congress providing an 
open forum for researchers, engineers, network planners and service 
providers in telecommunications targeted on newly emerging algorithms, 
systems, standards, services, and applications. ICUMT-CS is an annual 
international congress providing an open forum for researchers, 
engineers and practitioners interested in control, automation and 
robotics targeted on newly emerging algorithms, systems, standards and 
applications.
