The International Conference on Communications (ICC) is one of the two flagship conferences of the IEEE Communications Society, together with IEEE Globecom. Each year the ICC conference attracts about 2-3.000 submitted scientific papers, a technical program committee involving about 1.500 experts provides more than 10.000 reviews, the conference being finally attended by 1.500 - 2.000 professionals from all around the world. IEEE ICC is therefore one of the most significant scientific events of the networking and communications community, a must-attend forum for both industrials and academics working in this area. The ICC conference is a five-day event, three days being dedicated to the technical symposia and two days to tutorials and workshops. The program of the technical symposia includes oral or poster presentations of about 1.000 scientific papers, grouped into 12 thematic tracks, and 18 to 20 parallel sessions. In addition, the conference program includes workshops, tutorials, keynote talks from industrial leaders and renowned academics, panel discussions, a large exposition, business and industrial forums. In 2013 the IEEE ICC conference will be held for the first time in Eastern Europe, previous conferences being organized in cities such as Ottawa (2012), Kyoto (2011), Cape Town (2010), Dresden (2009), Beijing (2008), Glasgow (2007), Istanbul (2006), Seoul (2005), Paris (2004) or Anchorage (2003). In 2014 the conference will be hosted by Sydney.
