About Telfor
Telecommunications Forum TELFOR 2008 is organized for the 16th time as a
domestic and regional annual meeting of those professionals working in the
broad fields of Telecommunications and Information Technologies. The
participants are mostly telecommunications engineers, but also the economists,
jurists, managers, governmental officials, students, researchers, operators,
service providers and others. In this way TELFOR is the forum in which all
relevant aspects of Telecommunications and IT are discussed: subjects of
technical nature, development policy, regulatory and economics matters,
education, equipment production, services and operation of systems.
The work of Telecommunications forum TELFOR is organized through:
- Plenary sessions with invited papers or lectures,

- Seminars and tutorials for young engineers and students,
- Exhibition of the communications hardware, software, equipment, systems and services,
- Commercial presentations of the companies and their products,
- Thematic debates, panel discussions and round tables on current issues,
- Social meetings, etc.
Different levels and characters of presentations are accepted: presentation of research and scientific results, new ideas, valuable conclusions from experience, state of the art and instructive survey communications. The survey presentations, as well as tutorials and seminars, may be offered by participants or participating companies for acceptance, or can be invited by the Program Committee. The detailed list of technical topics is given within the TELFOR calls. Papers with favorable reviews of the reviewers will be accepted and published in the CD Proceedings. An accepted paper has to be presented in authors or student sections by its author or the co-author. Upon closing of the Forum accepted and presented papers will be posted at www.telfor.rs.
