ISWCS 2018, Lisbon, Portugal

15th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems, 28-31 August 2018, Lisbon, Portugal

The aim 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 in the field of wireless communications, networking and signal processing.

This 15th symposium will bring together various wireless communication systems developers to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications.

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.

Important Dates: 

Submission Guidelines:
Acceptance will be based on full paper submission. The length should not be longer than five (5) A4 pages (in IEEE two-column format, 10pt, according to the IEEE template). Papers must be submitted via EDAS: http://edas.info/N24047 .

Accepted and presented papers will be published in the conference proceedings and submitted to IEEE Xplore as well as other Abstracting and Indexing (A&I) databases.
