*****************************************************

 

Technical Co-Sponsorship by IEEE Communications Society

 

This event is supported by the Vehicular technology Society

 

Published papers will appear on IEEE Xplore

 

The objective of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers and

technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of

technical papers, panel discussions as well as real-world evaluation of

many ideas in wireless communications and networking employed to support

the needs of the Information Society. This sixth symposium, intends to

bring together various wireless communication systems developers to discuss

the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues,

and future services and applications. ISWCS'09 seeks to address and capture

highly-innovative and state-of-the-art research from the wireless industry

as well as standardization advances. The scope of the conference includes

a wide range of technical challenges encompassing wireless communications,

quality of service support, wireless networking, cross-layer air interface

design for improved performance, wireless broadband access, and

cooperative networking.

 

IMPORTANT: the authors of the best papers of ISWCS 2009 will be asked to

submit their journal-versions to the Mobile Networks and Applications (MONET)

Journal (by Springer, http://www.springer.com/engineering/signals/journal/11036)
