Aim of Seminar

The aim of the seminar is to bring together researchers,industry, policy planners and provide a forum for exchange of ideas, interaction, networking and collaboration for research & development in the field of Wireless Communication and Networking with Special emphasis on the current and future trends in Adhoc & Sensor networks.

This two day seminar will provide the fundamental understanding of how wireless networks work and the latest research and development being done in this field. It is expected that this interaction would result into discussion of latest problems and solution in this field. The seminar will have plenary talks, Invited talks and a workshop on Adhoc and Sensor Networks where the simulation and hardware implementation of Adhoc and Sensor Networks will be demonstrated.
