Invitation to the Eighth International Network Conference (INC2010)

We invite you to participate in the International Network Conference 2010, to be held in Heidelberg, Germany, from 6 - 8 July 2010. This conference, the eighth in our series, will bring together leading figures from academia and industry to present and discuss the latest advances in networking technologies from research and commercial perspectives. The conference is jointly organised by the University of Plymouth (UK) and the Hochschule Darmstadt (Germany).

INC events have always attracted an international audience and papers on a wide range of topics. The most recent event, INC 2008 attracted 22 papers and authors from 13 countries. Feedback at all previous events was extremely positive and it is intended that INC 2010 will build upon this success.

The 2010 conference will take place in the historic city of Heidelberg. The event will be held over three days, with presentations delivered by researchers from across the international community. Social events and a conference banquet will also be scheduled, ensuring that delegates also have a chance to relax and enjoy some of the many sights that the region has to offer.

A comprehensive partner programme during the conference as well as an after conference sight-seeing programme (Heidelberg, Baden-Baden, Strasbourg) will be offered. Details will be provided soon. On the weekend following the conference, the famous Heidelberg Castle Illumination will take place. That's worth staying a few days longer.

INC 2010 is co-sponsored by the Klaus Tschira Foundation, Detecon International GmbH, Software AG Darmstadt, SyroCon Consulting GmbH, Symantec, Gesellschaft für Informatik, German Chapter of the ACM, Emerald and the international journal Internet Research. You are warmly invited to participate in this conference and we look forward to welcoming you to INC 2010.
