As communication and networking (CN) become specialized and fragmented, it is easy to lose sight that many topics in CN have common threads and because of this, advances in one sub-discipline may transmit to another. The presentation of results between different sub-disciplines of CN encourages this interchange for the advan- ment of CN as a whole. Of particular interest is the hybrid approach of combining ideas from one discipline with those of another to achieve a result that is more signi- cant than the sum of the individual parts. Through this hybrid philosophy, a new or common principle can be discovered which has the propensity to propagate throu- out this multifaceted discipline. This volume comprises the selection of extended versions of papers that were p- sented in their shortened form at the 2008 International Conference on Future Gene- tion Communication and Networking (http://www. sersc. org/FGCN2008/), Inter- tional Conference on Bio-Science and Bio-Technology (http://www. sersc. org/ BSBT2008/), International Symposium on u- and e- Service, Science and Technology (http://www. sersc. org/UNESST2008/), International Symposium on Database Theory and Application (http://www. sersc. org/DTA2008/), International Symposium on Control and Automation (http://www. sersc. org/CA2008/), International Symposium on Signal Processing, Image Processing and Pattern Recognition (http://www. sersc. org/SIP2008/), International Symposium on Grid and Distributed Computing (ttp://www. sersc. org/ GDC2008/), International Symposium on Smart Home (http://www. sersc. org/SH2008/), and 2009 Advanced Science and Technology (http://www. sersc. org/AST2009/).
