Siberian Federal University

Welcome

Message from the Technical Program Chair

Dear Colleagues,

It is time for another continuation of tradition for SIBCON, the prime forum of Tomsk IEEE Chapter & Student Branch to share the latest academic and technical accomplishments in the fields of control, microwave, wireless, electron devices, and related areas. I would like to welcome all the participants, and especially, to express the warmest gratitude to all the paper presenters for sharing their valuable experiences with us, on behalf of the organizing committee of SIBCON-2011, Krasnoyarsk.

The technical program for the SIBCON Conference spans most of the key areas in control, wireless and mobile communications, from the physical properties up through the packing. Among the topics receiving, the largest numbers of papers for this year's conference were technology of microwave electron devices, signal processing, antennas, and networks systems. As is evident from just those categories alone, the technical program will almost assuredly provide some topics of interest for all attendees.

A total of 200 papers were received as a result of the open call, which is the highest number in SIBCON history. In keeping with the goal at SIBCON to become one of the quality conferences, the acceptance rate was less. Many reviewers have participated the paper review and selection processes. In addition, some papers concern Krasnoyarsk Scientific Center was invited.

The conference kicks off with a Plenary Session delivered by Prof. G.S. Patrin, General Chair of SIBCON. I could think of no better way to start this conference off than with an opportunity for all of us to share in the valuable insights into possibilities of Krasnoyarsk Scientific community to enter modern technologies into the commercial marketplace.

The Technical Program Committee prepared a rich, diverse, and up-to-date program that should satisfy your interest in learning about revolutionary and evolutionary developments in control, RF, and microwave fields and supporting technologies. Together with the high power keynote and executive sessions, conference tutorials, the overall program of SIBCON brings into focus the two threads of our topic: the convergence of circuit design and packing, and the integration of micro- and nanotechnologies. We also have an outstanding technical program for the conference, with papers on many important aspects of UWB systems: waveform design, channel modeling, multi-user techniques, performance bounds, wideband antennas and applications in communications and radar.

Many people expended a great deal of effort in order to put this technical program together. I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to the exceptional work rendered by all track chairs as well as the session chairs and TPC members. I would first like to thank Dr. Vasily S. Panko, one of technical co-chairs of the conference, for the excellent job he did with the regular sessions. Secondly, I would like to thank Prof. G.Ya. Shaidurov for gathering together the excellent community of Siberian Federal University. Further thanks go to all young participants submitted they papers on modern topics. Special thanks to sponsors - Radiosvyaz R&D and Geophysics R&D for their support and generous sponsorship. Finally, I would like to express my appreciation to leadership of SFU join us in this wonderful hospitality. 

The Technical Program Committee and I look forward to seeing you here. We hope that you will enjoy the technical, cultural, and natural selections we are preparing for you. Welcome to SIBCON and welcome to Krasnoyarsk!
