CALL FOR PAPERS FOR SPECIAL SESSION ON
History of Telecommunications
Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 13:15 -18:00
Co-Chairs: Prof. Mischa Schwartz & Dr. Jacob Baal-Schem
The 2008 IEEE Global Communications Conference (IEEE GLOBECOM 2008) will be held in New Orleans, LA, USA, from 30 November through 4 December, 2008, in conjunction with the World Telecommunications Congress. The Conference will feature 11 Symposia along with Tutorials, Workshops, a Design and Developers Forum, and the EXPO.
A Special Session will be devoted to the History of Telecommunications. The Session will include Keynotes and papers on the History of important technical developments (e.g. DSL).
A Panel of Experts will discuss the subject: “Who Invented Radio?” (Marconi vs. Popov vs. Lodge-Branly).
Prospective authors and contributors are invited to submit original papers. Please visit http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2008 for details and submission information. Only timely submissions through EDAS at http://edas.info will be accepted. Deadline: March 15, 2008 .
Background:
· Many historical developments occurred in Telecommunications during recent centuries and it is important to provide a critical discussion of these technological events to the professional audience. From the inventions of the telephone and radio, through the development of television and of digital means of transmission of information – all these subjects need historical coverage and merit professional discussions.
· The discussion among countries, regarding “The father of Radio” will be a challenging subject both for the Panel members who will represent different views, and for the audience participating in the discussion.
· The IEEE Communications Society has recently established a “Communications History” standing committee and this session is the launching event of the activities of the Committee.
