1-2. Outline report (venue, number of participants, etc.):
During 7:00-10:00pm, Aug.30 (Monday), 2004, we have successfully organized the
IEICE Special Invited Session in conjunction with APCC/MDMC'04 which was held
in Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, during Aug.29-Sep.1, 2004. After a brief
introduction to IEICE by IEICE Vice President Prof. Tetsuya Miki and an introduction
to IEICE Communication Society by IEICE Communication Society President-elected
Dr. Yukou Mochida, four state-of-art talks were delivered:
|
(1)
|
"Broadband Communications and Networks "
by Prof. Tetsuya Miki (Univ. Electro-Commun., Japan) |
|
(2)
|
"Networks R&D for Ubiquitous Services"
by Dr. Yukou Mochida (Fujitsu Labs. Ltd, Japan, President-elected of IEICE Communication
Society) |
|
(3)
|
"Trends in VoIP and QoS" by Prof. Koichi
Asatani (Kogakuyin Univ., Japan) |
|
(4)
|
"Overview of Antennas for Mobile Communications"
by Prof. Kyohei Fujimoto (Prof. Emeritus, University of Tsukuba, Japan) |
Due to the very hot topics and the distinguished speakers, this
special session has attracted more than 130 attendees from the delegates of APCC/MDMC'04
(coming from more than 20 countries/regions) and local IEICE members. Many questions
and comments have been raised from the floor and such kind of discussions continue
during the coffee breaks and even after the session. Also, before and during the
session, many younger researchers/students who are not the IEICE members yet picked
the IEICE Membership Application Forms back. Therefore, I believe we have successfully
enhanced the appearance of IEICE in China and even all over the world through
the APCC/MDMC'04 delegates.
