Welcome Message

On behalf of the Wireless and Optical Communications Conference (WOCC) Planning Committee, we welcome you to its 20th annual event, WOCC 2011.

On its 20th birthday, WOCC 2011 will publish peer reviewed papers in IEEE Conf. Proceedings. Over the last two decades, the WOCC has become a major event for telecommunications professionals in both the U.S. and the Asia-Pacific region. The conference provides an excellent forum and opportunity for presenting research new results, discussing emerging technologies and innovative research ideas, and networking among telecommunications professionals. The theme of this year's conference is "Converging Communications for Internet of Things", highlighting the proliferation and advances of high-speed Internet services and applications in inspiring new intelligent communication and computing capabilities for our society.

The technical program of WOCC 2011 will feature four parallel Symposiums on Wireless Communications and Networking, on Optical Communications and Networking, on Emerging Networks and Future Internet, and on Multimedia Services and Applications. In addition, exhibitions from sponsoring organizations and graduate student posters will be presented at the conference.

We hope your participation in WOCC 2011 is a productive and rewarding experience and thank you for your participation and contribution in making WOCC 2011 a successful conference.
