About IMSAA : Technical Paper Session, Workshops, Tutorial, Demos

IEEE International Conference on Internet Multimedia Systems Architecture and Applications (IMSAA-09) has received Technical Co-sponsorship from IEEE COMSOC. It is also Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE Bangalore Section. IMSAA-09 is jointly organized by International Institute of Information Technology-Bangalore (IIIT-B) and COMSOC Bangalore Chapter. Bangalore as the Silicon Valley of India with more than 1500 IT companies all around is certainly one of the best venue to home 3rd edition of this International conference. Moreover, in 2009 8 cities across the globe have been selected by IEEE HQ for celebrating its 125^th year, Bangalore being one of them.

In recent past the economical viability of Telecom services providers with sustainable growth has compelled many innovations as well as implementation of services/applications on Internet as well as broadband converged networks. Hence, IMSAA-09 will present the latest developments and technical solutions in the areas of next generation communication system and multimedia services, and related deployment, performance, security and mobility topics by participation of scientists & engineers from service providers, industry and academia in the areas of Telecommunication. The conference will include a peer reviewed program of technical sessions, workshops and demos.
