WPMC 2018 - 21st International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC- 2018)

The 21st International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications (WPMC- 2018) and 6th Global Wireless Summit (GWS -2018) will be jointly held in Chiang Rai, Thailand from November 25 - 28, 2018; as part of the celebrations of MFU’s 20th anniversary. The theme of this year’s conference is “Body and Mind Integration through Information and Communication Technology”. Both these events are co-hosted by CTIF Global Capsule (CGC) and Mae Fah Luang University (MFU).
The WPMC symposia series were inaugurated in 1998, as a global platform which aims at enabling collaboration in the field of wireless information. Held in Asia, Europe and America, WPMC has established itself as a unique global conference dedicated to wireless multimedia convergence. Continuing the series, the 21st WPMC will bring together academia, industries and standardization bodies to explore activities, trends and future challenges towards ICT globalization for health and wellness issues in existing and future wireless technologies.
GWS is the world's largest annual international conference on wireless techno-business modelling. It encapsulates the raw
