CfP: "Communications – a Common Playground for Social and Telecommunications Scientists"

22.03.10

Dear Sir or Madam,

TH Wildau is organizing an international conference on “You will Shape the Digital Society with Your Knowledge-Make It Happen! Conference on Communications – a Common Playground for Social and Telecommunications Scientists” in May 26-28, 2010 and I would very much like to invite you to attend this event.

Rationale

Is Communication a Field for Social Scientists only or how strong are or should be the relation to Classic Sciences including Telecommunications & Computer Sciences? The rationale for this Conference is to highlights the interdependences between telecommunications and social sciences.

Scientists, professionals and senior students (Master & PhD), present their R &D results. Industrial key figures and lobby group leaders give their views on the evolution of telecommunications. Postgraduate students are very much invited to present their projects in so called poster sessions. This will be supplemented by panel sessions with discussions between the participants (senior speakers and post-graduates) and the audience.

The conference is chaired by

Bernd Eylert (TH Wildau, Germany) and

Julian Gebhardt (University of Potsdam / Hasso-Plattner-Institute, Germany)
