Scope
IEEE GLOBECOM 2007, with the theme "Innovate, Educate, Accelerate", will feature a General Symposium and 9 technical symposia. The General Symposium will only accept papers on topics not covered by these symposia. The focus of the General Symposium is on Emerging Technologies. Prospective authors are invited to submit original contributions on all aspects of emerging technologies in communications, including, but not limited to 1) Information, Communication, and Network Security, 2) Power Line, 3) Data Storage, and 4) Peer-to-Peer Networking.

This symposium aims at providing a forum for sharing ideas among researchers and practitioners working on state-of-the-art solutions to emerging technology areas. We are seeking papers that describe original and unpublished contributions. You are invited to submit original technical papers covering but not limited to the following topics. Please visit the main IEEE Globecom 2007 Webpage for submission details and on-line submissions at http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2007/.
