***********************************************************************
 
Technical Co-Sponsorship by IEEE Communications Society
 
This event is supported by the Vehicular technology Society
 
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.
