<div>Overview</div><div>--------</div><div>NTMS'2012 is the Fifth International Conference on New Technologies,</div><div>Mobility and Security that will be held from 7 to 10 May 2012 in</div><div>Istanbul, Turkey.</div>
<div><br></div><div>NTMS'2012 aims at fostering advances in the areas of New Technologies,</div><div>Wireless Networks, Mobile Computing, Ad hoc and Ambient Networks, QoS,</div><div>Network Security and E-commerce, to mention a few, and provides a</div>
<div>dynamic forum for researchers, students and professionals to present</div><div>their state-of-the-art research and development in these interesting</div><div>areas.</div><div><br></div><div>The event will be combined with tutorial sessions and workshops.</div>
<div>Tutorials will precede the main program, aiming at the dissemination of</div><div>mature knowledge and technology advances in the field. Two or more</div><div>Workshops will immediately follow the main conference, offering the</div>
