WELCOME MESSAGE FROM THE GENERAL CHAIRS

On behalf of the Executive Committee and the hosting Shanghai Jiao Tong University, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the third IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2014). Since its commencement in 2012, the ICCC conference has grown steadily from a brand new conference with a strong vision, to a unique venue in bringing together global researchers and practitioners in areas of communications to the greater China region. In particular, this year’s ICCC aims at addressing a key theme on “Computing Communications towards Networked Societies”, which broadly cover all disciplines of communications from fundamental research to emerging applications, while emphasizing society-shaping technologies in the modern IT era. In addition to providing a major forum for people to present their frontier research work and discuss the latest breakthroughs, the ICCC 2014 also features Keynotes, Tutorials, Industrial Panels, and dedicated Workshops. For those who attend the ICCC for the first time, you will soon appreciate the fact that ICCC is more than just an outstanding technical conference, it is also a friendly rendezvous to interact, inspire, and discover.

This year we are honored to have four world renowned scholars, Prof. Vince Poor of Princeton University, Prof. David Tse of Stanford University, Dr. James Hong, CTO of Korean Telecomm, and Prof. Ping Zhang of BUPT, to be our keynote speakers. Not only have each of them made extraordinary contributions to the fields of communications, their diverse expertise and keen visions in both academia and industry are equally remarkable. We look forward to their stimulating and scholastic seminars

We would like to acknowledge the IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) and the China Institute of Communications (CIC) for their great partnership in sponsoring the ICCC2014. We feel deeply grateful to all the people that have contributed to make this event possible: the authors who contributed papers, the conference steering committee, the invited speakers, and the diligent reviewers. Special thanks go to the K. C. Wong Education Foundation for their generous support. Kudos to the technical committee members for a remarkable job they have done in planning and organizing the meetings. Thanks are also extended to the conference administrative committee, the volunteers, and supporters, for their tirelessly efforts throughout the course of the conference.

Finally, we wish all the participants a very fruitful and productive conference, and also an unforgettable stay in Shanghai where you will find the perfect blend of cultures, the modern and the traditional, and the western and the oriental.

On behalf of the Technical Program Committee, it is our great pleasure to welcome you to the third IEEE/CIC International Conference on Communications in China (ICCC 2014), in the magnificent city of Shanghai.
 
Under the theme of “Computing Communications: towards Networked Societies,” IEEE/CIC ICCC 2014 brings together researchers to discuss the latest advances in communications. The technical program of ICCC 2014 features 4 world-class plenary keynote speeches, 8 technical symposia, 5 tutorials, 4 industrial and academic panels, and 1 workshop. In addition, we have a symposium keynote speech delivered by Prof. Longbing Cao from University of Technology Sydney in the symposium of Social Networks and Big Data.
 
In this third edition of IEEE ComSoc’s flagship conference in China, we have maintained the high quality of the conference. We received 405 paper submissions from about 30 countries and regions in the open call. Out of these, 161 papers were accepted, corresponding to an acceptance rate of 39.7%. All papers were carefully peer-reviewed by more than 300 TPC members and reviewers, with each paper evaluated by at least two reviewers. Besides, we also have 13 invited papers and 8 invited talks by established experts in their fields. All these papers and talks are organized into 33 lecture-style oral sessions and 3 interactive poster sessions.
 
We are confident that you will find the technical program of IEEE/CIC ICCC 2014 very stimulating and inspiring. We warmly invite all of you to join us in interacting with the keynote/invited speakers and industrial panelists, and more importantly, interacting with all of your peer attendees.
 
A technical program like this would not have been possible without the hard work and devotion of many of our organizing committee members and volunteers. We would like to especially thank the Symposium Chairs, Workshop Chairs, Tutorial Chairs, and Industrial and Academic Panel Chairs for their exceptional work. We would also like to express our sincere thanks to all the TPC members and reviewers for their help in the paper review process.
 
Finally, we wish to thank all authors and attendees for participating in the conference. We hope you will have a fruitful and memorable experience at IEEE/CIC ICCC 2014 in Shanghai.
