The 12th International Conference on Telecommunications, ConTEL 2013, will be held in Zagreb, Croatia, on June 26–28, 2013. Through its technical program, the conference will provide an opportunity for the academic and industrial communities to address new research challenges, share solutions and discuss issues in information and communication technology (ICT) referring to modern telecommunications. The theme of ConTEL 2013,“ICT Everywhere,” aims to reflect on current and emerging networking technologies that enable ubiquitous computing and communications as key drivers of the information society. With new services and increasing demand, there is a growing need for improvement in networking infrastructure – not just in terms of quality and performance, but also in scalability, mobility, energy efficiency, and multiple technologies integration. Original research papers are solicited that present theoretical, as well as applied, practical and experimental work related to the areas and topics of interest listed below. The conference program will offer technical sessions, presenting the latest advances through peer-reviewed regular and special sessions, as well as workshops with focus on the latest breakthroughs in selected areas related to the conference. Visiting the charming host city of Zagreb, with its pleasant mix of Western European business style and Mediterranean informality, will nicely complement the conference experience.
