The theme of the workshop

Nowadays, some degree of intelligence has been incorporated within most areas of telecommunication for all domestic,
industrial, medical and manufacturing products and services, in particular in the USA, Japan, Europe and China. Digital
telecommunication has been enjoying a momentous growth for the past two to three decades and contributed significantly
to the world economy. There has been a considerable amount of research in the applications of soft computing to all aspects
of telecommunications. However, the level of intelligence provided by the soft computing techniques are still in its infancy
and has an infinite potential for further growth worldwide, thus, leaving plenty of room for advancement. The 1st workshop
on the Applications of Soft Computing to Telecommunications endeavors to bring all the recent novel research in this
area under one umbrella and to provide a forum for further discussion.

Topics of interest

The workshop has been established to promote research into the practical applications of soft computing to telecommunications
and encourages papers from industry and academia in the following areas. The applications of Fuzzy logic, neural networks,
neuro-fuzzy, genetic algorithms, neuro-genetic, self organized swarm intelligence, probability  and general AI techniques to
any area of telecommunications, such as Internet, broadband, wired and wireless networks, satellite, mobile, wide area networks,
metropolitan area networks, local area networks, home area networks, smart home, personal area networks and ad hoc networks. 
The workshop also considers any other papers within the Applications of Soft Computing to Telecommunications area.
