WACOWC 2019 - 2nd West Asian Colloquium on Wireless Optical Communication System

The 2nd West Asian Colloquium on Optical Wireless Communications (WACOWC), which is hosted by the Shahid Beheshthi University in Tehran, follows the successful 1st event in Isfahan in 2018. WACOWC aims to bring together researchers from academia and industry to share their findings in the emerging fields of OWC. The colloquium will also include workshops and exhibitions as well as invited keynote speakers. High quality and original technical papers are welcome to be presented at WACOW2019.
