CALL FOR PAPERS

IEEE International Conference on Wireless LANs, PANs and Home Networks

5 - 7 December 2001, Singapore

Conference Web Site: www.icwlhn.org


Conference Outline

The IEEE 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
of this conference 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
                  Dr. Bob Heile, Chairman, IEEE 802.15 Working Group for
WPANs

Technology Presentors: Ericsson, Agilent, Mobilian, 3Com and more
