Best Paper Awards
Papers presented at ISAP 2009 will be judged by the ISAP 2009 Award Committees, and the authors of selected papers will be awarded for the outstanding contributions in the banquet.

Student Paper Awards
Students are encouraged to submit their paper to the award by specifically applying during the paper submission. Only students can apply the Student Paper Awards as a first author of the paper, although co-authors may include non-student researchers. Students of selected papers will be awarded for the Student Paper Awards in the banquet.

IEICE Transactions on Communications
announces that it will publish a special section entitled “Special Section on Advanced Technologies in Antennas and Propagation Conjunction with Main Topics of ISAP2009” in October 2010. The submission deadline is January 4, 2010. The instructions on paper preparation and submission are available at www.isap09.org
