The ever-growing Future Generation Communication and Networking (FGCN) provide a Intelligent and Ubiquitous Communication and Network Technology for Tomorrow. That is, the FGCN have emerged rapidly as an exciting new paradigm that includes ubiquitous, grid, and peer-to-peer computing to provide computing and communication services at any time and anywhere. In order to realize the advantages of such services, it is important that  intelligent systems be suitable for FGCN.

 FGCN2007 provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of Communication and Networking including modeling, simulation and novel applications associated with the utilization and acceptance of computing devices and systems.
