AINTEC is to bring together researchers and engineers interested in the practical and theoretical problems in Internet technologies. It aims at addressing issues pertinent to the Asian region with vast diversities of socio-economic and networking conditions while inviting high quality and recent research results from the global international research community to be presented.

The technical sessions will include invited talks by leading experts, presentations of papers, demos, posters and a pre-conference Asian School on Computer Science (11-12 December, 2005)

In response to the recent natural disaster in Asia, AINTEC'05 main topics concentrate on the survival of the Internet in order to provide alternative means of communications in emergency and chaotic situations, as follows:
