CALL FOR PAPERS The IASTED International Conference on Wireless Communications ~WC 2010~ July 15 – 17, 2010 Banff, Alberta, Canada SPONSOR The International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED) * Technical Committee on Telecommunications BEST PAPER AWARD The International Program Committee will nominate papers based on originality and scientific contribution for the Best Paper Award. CONFERENCE CHAIR Prof. Victor C. M. Leung University of British Columbia, Canada Conference Chair Portrait PURPOSE The IASTED International Conference on Wireless Communications (WC 2010) will be a major forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research, results, ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of telecommunication systems, with emphasis on wireless communications. Its aim is to strengthen relations between the telecommunication industry, research laboratories, and universities. All papers submitted to this conference will be double blind reviewed by at least two reviewers. Acceptance will be based primarily on originality and contribution. CONCURRENT CONFERENCES WC 2010 will be held in conjunction with the IASTED International Conferences on: * Modelling and Simulation (MS 2010) * Control and Applications (CA 2010) * Environmental Management and Engineering (EME 2010) * Solar Energy (SOE 2010) LOCATION Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rockies and spanning 6,641 square kilometres of valleys, mountains, glaciers, forests, meadows, and rivers, Banff National Park is truly one of the world's premier destination spots. Banff was Canada's first national park and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Summer in Banff means time to put away the skis and bring out the hiking boots. Banff National Park is a hiking wonderland, containing over 1,600 kilometres of trails. Even in July, the warmest month, the Rockies will fill you with awe as you fish, golf, camp, horseback ride, go whitewater rafting, or take a helicopter ride. Visitors can tour historic sites, soak in hot springs, stroll along the shores of Lake Louise, and enjoy many first class accommodations. Drive the Icefields Parkway into adjoining Jasper National Park and you have an excellent chance of seeing elk, deer, moose, and black bears along the roadside. Take a ride on the Banff gondola or spend just one night camping under the diamond-lit sky and you will be convinced that this is the most beautiful place on earth.
