The Asia-Pacific Conference on Communications (APCC) provides a forum for greater regional interaction and dissemination of information on the latest developments in the rapidly expanding field of communications. The major objective of APCC is to provide researchers and engineers in the Asia-Pacific region with an opportunity to discuss topics related to advanced telecommunication technologies and services and to open the door to the world. It will focus on the major advances in telecommunications, both happening now and to come in the foreseeable future. APCC2001 will be held in Tokyo, Japan from 17-20 Sep. 2001 at the University of Electro-Communications and is scheduled in conjunction with the IEICE semiannual technical conference which will be held at the same venue from 18-21 Sep. 2001. APCC2001 will also offer technical visits including to IMT-2000 at the Yokosuka Research Park (YRP), BS digital broadcasting, ITS, and broadband services over HIKARI (optical) networks. You are invited to participate in the conference and do not miss the following invaluable advantages: - APCC2001 registration fee includes the IEICE Conference registration. - Non-members can join the Communications Society of IEICE, free of charge for admission fee and the first annual fee, with APCC2001 registration.
