The 3rd International Conference on Application of Information and Communication Technologies AICT2009 invites high-quality recent research results in the areas of Information and Communication ICT in Emergency services and disaster recovery, ICT in Education and businesses, ICT in Research, ICT in security, ICT in Health care services and bio-informatics, Home and Health networking, ICT in governments, Electronic commerce, Mobility and Mobile Payments, Broadband access, satellite services, rural communications, Mobile and Wireless Communications, optical communications and networking, architectures, protocols, planning and design, ICT in management and modeling, analysis, simulation and performance evaluation and test results. The main goal of the conference is to bring together scientists and engineers who work and teach in these specialized fields to submit recent papers and come together in this geographical location.

AICT2009 is co-organized by Ministry of Communication and Information Technologies of Azerbaijan and Universities in Azerbaijan, Qafqaz University and in co-operation with Azerbaijan Technical University and in co-operation with IEEE ComSoc Turkey Chapter and Uzbekistan IEEE Regional Chapter.

AICT2009 brings researchers from similar disciplines to identify new research and educational opportunities and challenges. The 3rd AICT2009 International Conference will be held in Baku Azerbaijan on the 14, 15 and 16th of October 2009. AICT2009 is the third conference in its series aimed at stimulating technical exchange in the emerging and important field of Information and Communications technologies, ICT in education, Research, Business, Health service, Home networking and Optical, mobile and wireless Internet and communications networks and the importance of Electronic and Mobile Commerce and web technologies are considered in AICT2009 conference.

AICT2009 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research and work in the field of ICT and INTERNET industries. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of technical challenges in view of the growing interest for wireless access to Internet and the evolution of third and fourth generation cellular systems. The conference also accepts progress on IST European Commission funded research projects including Seventh Research Frameworks program. The Authors can present their finding on wired and wireless quality of service, resource management, Ad Hoc and sensor networks. Radio interface design, adaptive antennas and arrays and indoor propagation, measurement and predictions also will be considered. A growing number of digital devices inside homes and the application of Ultra Wide Band (UWB), as well as Spectrum efficiency and low power consumption including low cost and secure wireless personal access are some of the areas to be considered in this conference. Optical communications networks are becoming increasingly important as the demand for high capacity links are required. Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) is widely deployed at the core networks to accommodate high capacity transport systems. Optical components, such as optical amplifier, tunable filters, transceivers, termination devices and add-drop multi-plexers are becoming more affordable and reliable. Access and metropolitan area networks are increasingly built with optical technologies to overcome the electronic bottleneck at network edges. New components and subsystems for high-speed optical networks offer new design options. The objective of this event is therefore to foster the exchange of information among researchers in this fast-moving field. The authors can present their finding on all aspects of ICT including systems and communications technologies on new Fibers, optical fiber gratings and devices, optical amplifiers, optical sensing and medical application of fiber optics and Opto-electronics and microwave over optics. AICT will take place annually and one of its purpose is to promote educational and research cooperation between participants from universities and many other member institutions involve in the field of information and communication technologies. AICT2009 Accepted papers for publication include Engineering Index (EI) and EI Compendex and IEEE Explore TM.

The Power of Less

We do some of our best work when we’re constrained: by budgets, by headcount, by technology, by the economy. These are the times when bureaucracy and waste die by necessity. What’s left are ideas, and the muscle to make them real.

2009 will be a tough year in many ways, but now more than ever, the core concepts of Web 2.0 provide an advantage. Lightweight tools, user interfaces, and development models will help streamline productivity and focus resources; new business models will emerge out of the environment of change. Transparency and openness will help avoid disasters and extend our influence, as we learn to trust users as co-developers. Marketers can’t afford to ignore the value of social media, communities, and a new set of analytics. On an individual, team, company, and global level, this is the year we will choose to work on what matters.

And while the fundamentals of Web 2.0 become increasingly relevant and urgent, this is also the time to look ahead. The landscape today enables interactions that were not possible even two years ago, as the devices around us and the data they generate evolve rapidly. Tomorrow’s big ideas are quietly percolating now, in the aisles of major retailers, the back office of enterprises, and in the labs of passionate, independent-minded hackers. We’ll explore the future potential of Web 2.0, so when this storm passes, you’ll be ready.

The web as a platform has shown us a new direction. Now is the time to answer the call and make its principles real in your organization, whether you’re a Fortune 500 company or a brand new startup. These are the times when the most interesting things will happen. Join us.

The Web 2.0 Expo Experience

Web 2.0 Expo features the most innovative and successful Internet industry figures and companies providing attendees with examples of business models, development paradigms, and design strategies to enable mainstream businesses and new arrivals to the Web 2.0 world to take advantage of this new generation of services and opportunities. Web 2.0 Expo is co-produced by O’Reilly Media and TechWeb.
