NGWS 2009 - International Conference on Next Generation Wireless Systems

The First International Conference on Next Generation Wireless Systems will be held on October 12 ~ 14, 2009, Melbourne, Australia.


NGWS 2009 will be the most comprehensive conference focused on the various aspects of advances in Next Generation Wireless Systems. Our Conference provides a chance for academic and industry professionals to discuss recent progress in the area of Next Generation Wireless Systems. The goal of this conference is to bring together the researchers from academia and industry as well as practitioners to share ideas, problems and solutions relating to the multifaceted aspects of the Wireless Systems.


All accepted and registered papers will be included in the conference proceeding published by IEEE CS (as a Short Paper, 4 pages. Indexed by EI). And most presented papers at the conference, after revision and extension, will be included in CCIS (as a Full Paper, at least 12 pages. New LNCS sister-series, indexed by EI). And some papers selected will be included in some journals (pending).This conference will be organized and hosted by SERSC.
