IEEE 5th ISWCS 2008

In 2008, ISWCS will be held in Reykjavik, Iceland. The ISWCS’08 intends to bring together researchers, developers, and technologists to discuss the current status and identify the future technical challenges and business opportunities arising in the path towards the realization of ambient wireless communication systems. It follows the successful ISWCS’04 in Mauritius, ISWCS’05 in Siena, ISWCS’06 in Valencia, and ISWCS’07 in Trondheim. ISWCS is sponsored by IEEE Iceland Section and the University of Iceland.
