ICUMT is an annual international congress providing an open forum for
researchers, engineers, network planners and service providers targeted on
newly emerging algorithms, systems, standards, services, and applications,
bringing together leading international players in telecommunications,
control systems, automation and robotics. The event is positioned as a
major international annual congress for the presentation of original and
fundamental research and engineering results.

Following the success of the first two events that took place in St.
Petersburg (2009) and in Moscow (2010), each time attracting 200-300
participants from both academia and industry, ICUMT 2011 is a three-days
event offering a number of plenary sessions, technical sessions, and
specialized workshops. The conference will consist of two tracks, i.e.
ICUMT-T (Conference on Telecommunications), and ICUMT-CS (Conference on
Control Systems, Automation and Robotics).

The authors are encouraged to submit full papers describing original,
previously unpublished, complete research, not currently under review by
another conference or journal, addressing state-of-the-art research and
development in all areas of computer networking and data communications.
