Co-sponsored by Thai Airways - The official carrier
Maintaining an up-to-date knowledge and professional skills has never been
more important than it is today.
Recognising this as an International Programme of Advanced Continuing Education
(ACE) has been developed as a new initiative the IEEE Circuits and Systems
Society to give professionals the opportunity to hear about
recent developments in an important and growing area of technology - Video
and Wireless Communication.
This is your opportunity to meet and hear the international experts from
around the world, including.

Seville; T. Roska, Hungary; E.G. Friedman, Rochester; P.S.R. Diniz, Rio de
Janeiro; and Y-F Huang, Notre Dame.
During the 2-week period, twenty two 3-day courses, addressing key topics in
the field, will be presented by leading international experts and well known
instructors.
Courses will be divided into 4 groups, each having a good mix of analog and
digital topics and covering key areas in the development of both video and
wireless technology. The complete course list, divided into its four groups,
is given below.
