Special Sessions

Prominent Scientists and Industrial Expert will present invited papers in the following areas: "Broadband Satellite Communications", "Mobile satellite services in S-band", "Networking coding", "Scalable Video coding", "Delay-/Disruption-Tolerant Networking", "Cognitive Radio", "Automatic Identification System" and "DVB-SH Trials and Pilots"

 

Tutorials

Four half day tutorials will be presented at ASMS/SPSC 2010: "LMS Channel and Fading Mitigation Techniques", "Cognitive Radios", "MIMO and Cooperative Systems", "Next Generation DVB-RCS Systems"

 

Exhibitions

Live demonstrations and exhibition stands are welcome in the conference technical areas. Proposals should be submitted to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it by Mar. 15, 2010

 

Venue

The joint event will be held at the Hotel Flamingo Resort in Pula, Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. Sardina is a pearl in the Mediterranean Sea. The sea of Sardina with its transparent blue, turquoise, green waters, contours the island perimeter, consigning it to the myth of paradise-like lands
