Invitation from the General Chair

It is a great pleasure to invite you to attend the 2012 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC 2012), which will be held in Paris, France, on 1 - 4 April 2012. The Executive Committee gathering a large number of local and international volunteers is working to make this conference a great success and most enjoyable.

The host city, Paris, needs no publicity. With its 25 – 30 million visitors every year, Paris has a long tradition of preserving its place as the world’s premier tourist destination. The venue of WCNC 2012 is the Palais des Congrès at Porte Maillot, which is only a few minutes away from the city’s legendary street Champs Elysées.

It is in this fabulous environment that IEEE WCNC 2012 will bring together researchers, developers, practitioners, and business Executives from all over the world. The conference committee has set up a high-quality technical program featuring technical sessions that will disseminate the latest research results in wireless communications and networking, business and applications panels in which Executives from industry will give their vision on the future trends in this fast-growing field, and tutorials by world-class experts. In addition, a number of pre-conference workshops on selected topics will nicely complement this technical program. The conference committee has also set up an exciting social program that will make your stay in this magnificent city most enjoyable. I invite you to mark this event in your calendar and make your plans to attend this conference.

On behalf of the Executive Committee, I look forward to welcoming you in Paris in April 2012!
