Scope
The 5th West Asian Symposium on Optical and Millimeter-Wave Wireless Communications (WASOWC 2024) will be hosted at the Isik University, Turkiye. WASOWC 2024 will be held on 24-26 April 2024 at Maslak Campus in the heart of Istanbul, Turkiye. Istanbul is a unique city in terms of geography, history, and culture: It bridges Europe and Asia, as well as East and West. It was the capital of three successive empires – Roman, Byzantine, and Ottoman, and it still carries their fabulous legacy, while heading towards a modern future.
WASOWC 2024 brings together researchers from academia and industry to discuss and share new research and developments in the field of optical & millimeter-wave wireless technologies within the context of the 5th and 6th generation and beyond wireless networks. As in the previous events, the 5th Symposium will also include workshops/tutorials, keynote/invited speakers, as well as oral presentation. If you wish to organise workshops/tutorials, please contact us and we would be very happy to assist.
All accepted and presented papers will be published in the IEEE Xplore.
