CALL FOR PAPERS

International Conference on Wireless LANs, PANs and Home Networks

5 - 7 December 2001, Singapore

Conference Web Site: www.icwlhn.org


Conference Outline

The ICWLHN 2001 is the first conference to integrate technical
presentations with live demos, allowing participants to see technologies

in action. It is this uniqueness that separates ICWLHN from the rest of
other conferences rather than compares ICWLHN to them. The conference
will focus on practical application of current technologies with an eye
towards the immediate future as well as innovative research. The purpose

is to bring together engineers, practitioners, scientists, as well as
industry professionals from manufacturers to service providers whose
technical interests are wireless LANs (e.g., IEEE 802.11, HiperLAN,
Wi-Fi) and personal area/home wireless networks (IEEE 802.15, Bluetooth,

HomeRF, WAP). In doing so, technical ideas can be exchanged, potentially

leading to the development of new innovations.


Conference Highlights

Keynote Speaker: Dr. Leonard Kleinrock, UCLA and Nomadix Inc
Plenary Speakers: Greg Dicillio, Director, Wireless LAN Association
    Bob Heile, Chairman, IEEE 802.15 Working Group for WPANs
Technology Presentors: Ericsson, Agilent, Mobilian, 3Com and more
