Communication systems have traditionally played a minor supporting role in the evolution of computing, from mainframes to minis to PCs and servers, but have evolved to become an integral part of almost every aspect of computing, from distributed applications to the Internet. Even experts have trouble keeping up with all of the latest developments in a field that is growing and changing so rapidly. Recognizing the need for researchers and practitioners in all information technology fields to keep up with the state-of-the-art in communications, IFIP’s Technical Committee on Communication Systems, TC6, assembled a roster of individual area experts to present a State of the Art in Communication Systems programme at the 17th World Computer Congress, which was sponsored by the International Federation for Information processing (IFIP) and held in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in August 2002.
