CALL FOR PAPERS

1st International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems 2004
20 - 22 September 2004, MAURITIUS
http://www.ieeevtc.org/iswcs04

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 online demos of service
applications or technologies related to the future wireless communication
systems. This symposium, first in series to be held on a bi-annual basis in
the proximity of the Indian Ocean, also intends to bring together various
wireless communication systems developers to discuss the current status,
technical challenges, standards, fundamental issue, and future services and
applications in the form of panels and tutorials. ISWCS'04 seeks to address
and capture highly innovative and state of the art research and work in the
wireless industry. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of
technical challenges in view of the growing interest for wireless access to
Internet and the evolution of future wireless communications with access
across hybrid platforms. The symposium solicits papers related to but is
not limited to:
