Message from the Workshop Chairs IntelNet 2011

Welcome to the Second International Workshop on Intelligent Communication Networks (IntelNet 2011), which is being held in conjunction with the 10th IEEE International Conference on Ubiqutious Computing and Communications (IUCC 2011) on August 24-26, 2011, in Dalian, China. Modern communication networks have been becoming more and more large-scaled and complicated due to rapid development and interconnection among heterogeneous communication networks. Therefore, the management and maintenance of modern communication networks have posed many grand challenges to both industrial and academic communication communities. To overcome these challenges, it is very necessary to find new levels of autonomy and intelligence in designing, deploying, managing, and maintaining communication networks. This workshop aims to bring together scientists, researchers, professionals, and practitioners from both industry and academia to exchange ideas, discuss solutions, share experiences, and report state-of-the-art research results on various aspects of intelligent communication networks. In response to the Call-for-Papers of IntelNet 2011, twelve submissions were received from different countries. All submissions were reviewed by at least two referees from the technical program committee to ensure that papers published by IntelNet 2011 are of high quality. The submissions were then ranked according to their original contribution, technical strength, presentation, and relevance to the theme of the workshop. Finally, six papers were selected for presentation at the workshop and inclusion in the proceedings of IUCC 2011. We highly appreciate the IUCC Workshop Organizing Committee for giving us this opportunity to organize IntelNet 2011. We are very grateful to the Steering Committee for their valuable advice and continued support. We would also like to thank the authors for their great contributions and all Program Committee members for providing timely and in-depth reviews. Finally, we thank the attendees of this workshop and hope you will enjoy the program.
