The 6th International Wireless Communications & Mobile Computing Conference (IWCMC 2010)
Communication and Information Theory Symposium
Caen, France
June 28 – July 2, 2010
Scope and Motivation

    The Communication and Information Theory Symposium aims to provide the state-of-the-art research towards understanding the fundamentals of communication and information theories. The symposium welcomes original research in the general areas of communication and information theories, with focus on source coding, channel coding, modulation, detection and estimation, joint source-channel coding, multiple-input multiple-output systems, vehicular communication, cooperative communications, signal processing as applied to information theory for mobile/cellular communications, cognitive radios, advanced multiple access strategies, and security etc. Research results on communication and information theory that impact other disciplines such as optical communication, networking, genetics, cloud computing, box computing and bioinformatics, and quantum information processing are also encouraged.

    Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings, which will appear in the IEEEXplore and ACM databases and indexed by Engineering Index (EI). Selected papers will be further considered for possible publication in one of two special issues of the Wiley Journal of "Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing (WCMC)," and "International Journal of Autonomous and Adaptive Communications Systems (IJAACS)"
