Report on 2011 International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications and 2011 IEEE AP-S Topical Conference on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications

Abstract

The 13th edition of the International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA), and the first edition of the IEEE AP-S Topical Conference on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications (IEEE APWC), were held at Torino, Italy, September 12–16,2011. ICEAA has the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, the Istituto Superiore Mario Boella, and the Torino Wireless Foundation as principal cosponsors. Other technical cosponsors of this edition of ICEAA 2011 were the International Union of Radio Science (URSI), the IEEE ED and MTT Societies, the IEEE Italy Section, and the IEEE North Italy AP, ED and MTT Joint Chapter. IEEE APWC was the first conference of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society held outside the North American continent. Following the memorandum of understanding between ICEAA and IEEE AP-S finalized in September 2010 at Sydney, Australia, the two conferences shared a common registration, organizing and scientific committees, venue, reception, and banquet, and social events.
