ISAP 2012 - 2012 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2012)

The 2012 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2012) will be held at the Nagoya Congress Center in Nagoya, Japan, from October 29 (Monday) through November 2 (Friday), 2012. This Symposium, the 16th ISAP, is sponsored and organized by the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE).

OBJECTIVE
ISAP 2012 is intended to provide an international forum for the exchange of information on the progress of research and development in antennas, propagation, electromagnetic wave theory, and related fields as shown in the SCOPE. It is also an important objective of this meeting to promote mutual interaction among participants.

VENUE
Nagoya is the third-largest incorporated city located on the Pacific coast in the Chubu region on central Honshu with a population of 2.25 million. It is the capital of Aichi Prefecture and is one of Japan?fs major ports along with those of Tokyo, Osaka, etc. Nagoya?fs two most famous sightseeing spots are Nagoya Castle built in 1612 and Atsuta Shrine known as the second-most venerable shrine in Japan. Chubu Centrair International Airport is the main international gateway for the Chubu region. The μSky Limited Express train is the fastest and the most convenient access train to Nagoya Central Station in 28 minutes.
