7th International Symposium on COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, NETWORKS & DIGITAL SIGNAL PROCESSING (CSNDSP’10) Hosted by: School of Computing, Engineering and Information Sciences www.csndsp.com, First Call for Papers

CSNDSP has now been recognised as a forum for the exchange of ideas among engineers, scientists and young researchers from all over the world on advances in communication systems, communications networks, digital signal processing and other related areas and to provide a focus for future research and developments. The organising committee invites you to submit original high quality papers addressing research topics of interest for presentation at the 7th symposium which be held in the beautiful city of Newcastle in U.K. For the second time we also have dedicated colloquiums and number of special sessions on selected topics. 􀂃 Colloquium on - Photonic Communications Systems and Networks - Optical Wireless Communications - Satellite and Space Communications 􀂃 Special Sessions on 􀂃 Antenna Technology for Satellites and Terrestrial Wireless Systems 􀂃 Channel Coding and Equalization for Wireless Broadband Communication Systems 􀂃 Chaos in Communication Systems 􀂃 Embedded Mixed-Signal Systems and Sensor Networks 􀂃 Optimization Techniques for Signal Processing and Communication Systems 􀂃 Signal and Image Processing for Medical Monitoring and Diagnosis: new Developments and Applications 􀂃 Teletraffic Models and Traffic Engineering 􀂃 Nonlinear Techniques for Signal Processing and Communications Systems 􀂃 QoS, Reliability and Performance Modelling 􀂃 Entropy, Complexity, and their Applications 􀂃 Measurement / Analysis of 3G Cellular Networks 􀂃 IP Multimedia Subsystem and Next Generation Services
