Greetings from General Chair

On behalf of the ICC2011 Committee, it is my great pleasure to welcome you to Kyoto City for the IEEE International Conference on Communications 2011 (IEEE ICC 2011) on 5-9 June, 2011.

IEEE ICC brings together the world's leading researchers from academia and industry working in all areas of telecommunications and networking. Kyoto City reigned as the capital of Japan for 1200 years, and is known as the culture heart of Japan. With the theme of "Source of Innovation : Back to the Origin," the conference is expected to provide opportunities to rethink traditions and conventions, which will lead to epoch-making innovations. The technical program will consist of 12 technical symposia, tutorials, workshops and business forums. Additionally, industry-led exhibitions for telecommunication systems and services will be held. We sincerely hope you will find the conference attractive and fascinating.

This conference is sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society, the IEICE Communications Society and the Science Council of Japan, and is supported by Kyoto City.

The history of Kyoto City has left a legacy of tradition and elegance and made it a living museum. I hope you enjoy attending the technical and the social events at IEEE ICC 2011 but take time to experience hospitality for which Kyoto is renowned while exploring its old temples, shrines, and sublime gardens.

Sincerely

Noritaka Uji,
CTO, Senior Executive Vice President, Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation,
General Chair of IEEE ICC 2011
