WOC 2007 will be a major forum for scientists, engineers, and practitioners throughout the world to present their latest research, results, ideas, developments, and applications in all areas of telecommunications systems, with emphasis on wireless and optical communications. Its aim is to strengthen relations between the telecommunication industry, research laboratories, and universities.

WOC 2007 is sponsored by the International Association of Science and Technology for Development (IASTED), with the assistance of the Technical Committee on Telecommunications.

Dr. Alex Vukovic is currently at the Communications Research Centre Canada in Ottawa, Canada. His focus is on research leadership on network concepts and building blocks for next generation communication networks.

Chunming Qiao is a professor at SUNY at Buffalo, USA. Dr. Qiao's research has been sponsored by U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Alcatel Corporate Research Center, Nokia Research Center, Nortel Networks, Telcordia (formerly known as Bellcore), and Industrial Technology Research Institute (Taiwan).


Steve Beaudin of Nortel Canada will also be a Keynote Speaker for WOC 2007.
