Dear Colleagues,

thanks to the great support from all participants, contributors,
committees, peer reviewers, and volunteers we are happy to welcome
new contributions for the next INFOCOMP event!

Please consider to contribute to The Fourth International Conference on
Advanced Communications and Computation (INFOCOMP 2014)
and events and/or forward to the appropriate groups.

INFOCOMP 2014 continues a successful series of events dedicated to advanced
communications and computing aspects, covering academic and industrial
achievements and visions.

Tracks feature application scenarios, state of the art, and outreach
developments of advanced scientific computing, supercomputing, HPC, and
communication from present to future architectures, integrated systems, beyond
cloud, and reaching exaflop:
large scale and fast computation, networks/systems communications, measurement,
control and management, advanced applications from geosciences, scientific data
processing, natural sciences, archaeology, planetology, spatial and
environmental sciences, geoprocessing, integrated information and computing
systems, intelligent systems, mobility, legal informatics database
applications, as well as tracks on evaluation context, biometry, security,
access technologies, algorithms, and applications.

The conference brings together world's leading international experts, researchers,
computational scientists, developers, system managers, users, students, and
industry and business affiliates for sharing experiences, publishing and presenting
new research results and discussing recent developments, challenges, and future
advancements and collaboration in exciting expert panels, workshops, and tutorials.

Wish you all the best with your research and beyond!
Warmest wishes and a happy and successfuly New Year!

Looking forward to your contributions and hopefully seeing you in Paris!

Kind regards,
Dr. Claus-Peter Rueckemann
