First International Black Sea Conference on Communications and Networking

BlackSeaCom series of conferences are held in the countries surrounding the Black Sea. The goal of BlackSeaCom is to bring together visionaries in academia, research labs and industry from all over the world to the shores of the Black Sea. Here they address many of the outstanding grand challenges that exist in the areas of communication and networking while having an opportunity to explore this exciting and dynamic region that has a rich history. The conference took place at the Sheraton Hotel on July 3, 4 and 5, 2013 in Batumi, Georgia. The theme of the conference, Communication and Networking in the Land of the Golden Fleece, is fitting for the chosen venue (Georgia) to set the goal of discovery and value in our field paralleling the ancient myth of the "Golden Fleece". The conference was Technically Sponsored by IEEE Communications Society and sponsored by the International Black Sea University. The Faculty of Computer Technologies and Engineering was a local organizer.
