IEEE/CIC ICCC 2013 to be held in Xian - the most honorable city in China

Together, IEEE Communications Society and China Institute of Communications are working ever closely to sponsor the second IEEE International Conference on Communications in China (IEEE/CIC ICCC 2013), to be held 12-14 August 2013 in Xi'An, China. IEEE/CIC ICCC 2013 is destined to be a flagship conference in Greater China.

IEEE/CIC ICCC 2013 is technically Co-Sponsored by State Key Laboratory of Integrated Service Networks, Xidian University & China Communications

The first ICCC was held in Beijing in August last year. This year, it will be held in China's most honorable city Xi'an, the world's biggest city at one time and the birthplace of many engineering and architectural marvels of ancient China.

IEEE/CIC ICCC 2013 aims at addressing a key theme on “Unlimited Access to Communications”. This conference will feature world-class plenary speakers, major technical symposia, industry and academic panels and workshops. The technical program chairs invite the submission of original papers to following symposia for presentation and publication in the conference proceedings and IEEE Xplore. Best paper awards will be selected from accepted papers.
