The IEICE (Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers) Transactions on Communications is planning to have a forthcoming Special Section on “2006 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation” to be published in September, 2007.

The 2006 International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (ISAP2006) will be held in Singapore on November 1-4, 2006, which aims at providing an international forum for exchanging information on the progress of research and development in antennas, propagation and electromagnetic wave theory, and related fields. This symposium is organized and sponsored by the IEICE Singapore Section, and cosponsored by the Communications Society of the IEICE. By taking this opportunity the Special Section on ISAP2006 has been planned to publish articles which are limited to the papers presented at oral or poster sessions in ISAP2006. Your participation to the ISAP2006 and the contribution to this special Section would be greatly appreciated.
