CALL FOR PAPERS
ATC/REV 2013

October 16-18, 2013

The International Conference on Advanced Technologies for Communications (ATC/REV) is an annual conference series, co-organized by the Radio Electronics Association of Vietnam (REV) and the IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc). The goal of the series is twofold: to foster an international forum for scientific and technological exchange among Vietnamese and worldwide scientists and engineers in the fields of electronics, communications and related areas, and to gather their high-quality research contributions.

Started in 2008 in Hanoi, the conference has made a great tour across Vietnam, for better promoting its scientific development (2009- Haiphong, 2010- Hochiminh city, 2011- Danang, 2012 - Hanoi). We now invite you to return to Hochiminh city for the 6th meeting – the ATC/REV 2013 – to be held during October 16–18, 2013, and hosted by International University, Vietnam National University - Hochiminh city.
