The purpose of DCNET 2016 is to bring together researchers, engineers and practitioners interested on communication networking between computer systems or other digital devices. Computer networking is a combination of knowledge related to the areas of telecommunications, computer science, information technology and/or computer engineering. Data communication networks rely heavily upon the theoretical and practical application of these scientific and engineering disciplines. DCNET encompasses a diversity of aspects, from network architecture and protocols, to network management, monitoring and control, performance analysis, sensor nets, services over networks, LANs and WANS, to higher education in the data communication field. CONFERENCE TOPICSNetwork ProtocolsNext-generation Communication Networks26/Data Sharing and InfrastructuresNetwork ArchitecturesModeling & Simulation of communication networks and SystemsNetwork Monitoring and ControlTraffic Measurement, Analysis, Modeling and VisualizationQuality of Service (QoS)Routing and Flow Control in LANs, WANs and PANsSensor Nets and Embedded SystemsNetwork applications (web, multimedia streaming, gaming, etc.)Social Computing and NetworksSoftware-Defined NetworkingNetwork SecurityDCNET is part of ICETE, the 13th International Joint Conference on e-Business and Telecommunications. ICETE 2016 will be held in conjunction with PECCS 2016 and PhyCS 2016. ICETE KEYNOTE LECTURESHamid Aghvami, King's College London, United Kingdom Giuseppe Bianchi, University of Roma Tor Vergata, Italy Anastasios Economides, University of Macedonia, Greece Erina Ferro, CNR-ISTI, Italy Mateo Valero, Universidad Politecnica de Catalunya, Spain ICETE CONFERENCE CHAIRMohammad S.
