        |  | The 8th biennial International Symposium on 
          Communications (ISCOM 2005) will be held in Ambassador Hotel, Kaohsiung, 
          Taiwan, from November 20 to 22, 2005. The conference is aimed to provide 
          a forum for discussing recent developments and applications in 
          state-of-the-art communication technologies for engineers and 
          researchers engaged in the related fields. Reflecting the new trends and 
          rapid progress, authors worldwide are invited to submit original and 
          previously unpublished contributions. The conference will feature oral 
          and poster presentations. Panel discussions and invited speakers will 
          focus on future trends in areas of interest to the conference. An 
          exhibition will also be organized for major industrial companies and 
          research organizations. |
