VTC2008-Fall Calgary
*** Review Deadline: 31st March 2008 ***
The 68th IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference will be held 21 - 24 September 2008 in the beautiful city of Calgary, Canada - 'The Heart of the North West' - and conveniently located for attractions such as Banff, Lake Louise, Columbia Icefield and Jasper. The conference will bring together individuals from academia, government, and industry, to discuss and exchange ideas in the fields of wireless and vehicular technology. The conference will feature world-class plenary speakers, tutorials, and technical as well as application sessions.
