A large international conference on Advances in Communication Technologies and EngineeringSciencewasheldinHongKong,March19-21,2008,undertheInter- tional MultiConference of Engineers and Computer Scientists (IMECS 2008). The IMECS 2008 is organized by the International Association of Engineers (IAENG). IAENG is a non-pro t international association for the engineers and the computer scientists, whichwasfoundoriginallyin 1968andhasbeenundergoingrapidexp- sions in recent few years. The IMECS conferences serve as good platforms for the engineering community to meet with each other and to exchange ideas. The conf- ences have also stroke a balance between theoretical and application development. The conference committees have been formed with over two hundred committee members who are mainly research center heads, faculty deans, department heads, professors,and research scientists from over30 countries.The conferencesare truly international meetings with a high level of participation from many countries. The response that we have received for the congress is excellent. There have been more than ve hundred manuscript submissions for the IMECS 2008.
All submitted - pers have gone through the peer review process and the overall acceptance rate is 56.03%. Thisvolumecontainsrevisedandextendedresearcharticleswrittenbyprominent researchers participating in the conference. Topics covered include communi- tions theory, communications protocols, network management, wireless networks, telecommunication,electronics,power engineering,controlengineering,signal p- cessing, and industrial applications. The book will offer the states of arts of trem- dousadvancesin communicationsystems and engineeringscience and also serve as an excellent reference work for researchers and graduate students working with/on communication technologies and engineering science.
