SEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON

INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS & SIGNAL PROCESSING

7 - 10 Dec 2009, Macau Fisherman's Wharf, Macau

Paper Submission Deadline is 1 May 2009

* Proceedings of ICICS 2009 will be indexed by Ei and included in the IEEE

Xplore

We would like to invite you to submit a paper to ICICS2009. The

International Conference on Information, Communications and Signal

Processing is a biennial event held since 1997. Past conferences have

attracted on average 700 paper submissions by participants from different

parts of the globe. We are pleased to announce that ICICS2009, the seventh

International Conference on Information, Communications and Signal

Processing will be held in Macau from 7 to 10 December, 2009. All major

areas in signal processing, information and communication technologies will

be covered in talks, along with tutorial sessions and invited/special

sessions. This is an opportunity for researchers around the world to

exchange ideas and latest research results in areas such as multimedia

systems, computer systems, communications, networking and related fields. We

look forward to your participation so as to keep the tradition in making

this ICICS2009 an exciting and fruitful event. Papers presenting original

work in, but not limited to, the following technical areas are invited for

submission.
