Networked Digital Technologies are reshaping the way we communicate,
interact, collaborate and share knowledge. Recent progress in
Telecommunications, Networking, Semantic Web Technologies, Mobile and
Ubiquitous Computing has enabled new collaborative technology services for
various disciplines in sciences, humanities and social sciences. The Fourth
International Conference on Networked Digital Technologies (NDT’2012) is a
forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners to present their latest
research results, ideas, developments and applications in the areas of
Networked Digital technologies. NDT’2012 will include presentations of

*Venue: Dubai*

Dubai is both a dynamic international business centre and a laid-back
tourist escape; a city where the sophistication of the 21st century walks
hand in hand with the simplicity of a bygone era; a cosmopolitan society
with an international lifestyle combining the comfort and convenience of
the Western world with the unique charm and hospitality of Arabia.

>From the timeless tranquility of the desert to the lively bustle of the
souk, Dubai offers a kaleidoscope of attractions for visitors. The emirate
embraces a wide variety of scenery in a very small area. In a single day,
you can experience everything from rugged mountains and awe-inspiring sand
dunes to sandy beaches and lush green parks, from dusty villages to
luxurious residential districts and from ancient houses with wind towers to
ultra-modern shopping malls.
