The conference will focus on network design and planning methods, the issues of routing, traffic flows and optimization that are necessary to deliver the promise of the Network of the Future. The motto of Networks 2010 is Networks for the e-Society. There are many challenges in building networks with the appropriate performance for the e-Society, such that each step is cost-justified and helps drive profitable growth.
