Invitation to
Pucón Symposium 2008
By hosting the fifth bi-annual meeting of the AccessNova Forum
in the lake district of southern Chile, the Pucón Symposium 2008 offers a unique opportunity to
address and discuss many relevant technical and business issues involved as we face the various
challenges behind “Ubiquitous Networks for New Advanced Applications”. Our intention is to bring
together people from various disciplines and different R&D organizations with a long tradition of
international collaboration and friendship, in a special academic and scenic environment, where we
can analyze in depth our current activities and
discuss in detail our future ones
We hope you can accept our invitation to participate in the
Pucón Symposium 2008, a conference focused on the frontier of ultra-high speed networking for
advanced applications used across the board in fields such as biotechnology, remote healthcare,
energy and environment, data imaging, remote mining, e-science/grids/high perfomance computing,
data storage/processing/archiving, virtual observatories and remote astronomy.
The tentative program is indicated below.
