Call for Papers
ICUMT is an IEEE technically co-sponsored (approved) premier annual
international congress providing an open forum for researchers, engineers,
network planners and service providers in telecommunications targeted on newly
emerging systems, standards, services, and applications.
The aim of ICUMT is to bring together international players in
telecommunications, robotics and control systems. The congress will consist of
open call sessions, workshops, industrial panels and exhibitions.
The call for papers can be downloaded as a PDF file as well.
