The 2002 International Conference on Wireless Networks (ICWN'02)
June 24 - 27, 2002
Monte Carlo Resort, Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
The 2002 International Conference on Wireless Networks (ICWN'02) will
be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, June 24 - 27, 2002. ICWN'02 will take
place simultaneously (i.e., the same location and dates) with a number
of other international conferences, including PDPTA'02, CISST'02,
IC-AI'02, IC'02, METMBS'02, CIC'02, ERSA'02, VLSI'02, IKE'02,
CMSRA'02, ICMLS'02, and SERP'02 (see
http://www.ashland.edu/~iajwa/conferences/ for more information). The
last multiconference event had research contributions from 52
countries and over 1400 participants from all over the world. It is
hoped that ICWN'02 will also have a strong international flavor.
