WCSN 2011 - Seventh International Conference on Wireless Communication and Sensor Networks (WCSN-2011)

Original technical papers that describe unpublished original research work and are not currently under review by any other conference or journal are solicited. It is expected that the same set of authors would submit no more than two papers. The papers must reach the conference secretariat within deadline (September 01, 2011). Papers must be presented in the conference for them to appear in publication.
