Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have proved to offer immense potential to development. However, designing, developing, and deploying infrastructures and solutions that are affordable and efficient when only limited resources are available is a very challenging task. This presents a setback for developing countries against reaping the benefits that ICTs offers. AFRICOMM 2011 aims to bring together researchers, practitioners, and policy makers in ICT to discuss issues and trends, recent research, innovation advances and on-the-field experiences related to e-Infrastructure, e-Governance, e-Business, and enabling policy and regulations with a deep focus on developing countries.

AFRICOMM invites submission of unpublished and quality research papers with novel contributions. All submitted contributions will undergo a double-blind peer review. Accepted papers will be presented at the conference and published by Springer’s LNICST series. AFRICOMM 2011, the third conference of the series, is organized in two research tracks, namely a track in communication infrastructure and a track on e-services, policy and regulatory issues. In addition, AFRICOMM 2011 is calling for workshop proposals on more specific topics of relevance to developing countries. The workshops will take place in conjunction with the conference.
