QCS-NET2009 is co-located with Mosharaka International Conference on Communications, Signals and Coding (MIC-CSC2009), to be held in Amman, Jordan in the period 19-21 November 2009. Coming to Jordan represents a unique opportunity to witness the embrace of history and future. As small in area as it is, Jordan has a rich history spanning thousands of years, that a tourist can only admire. Places like Petra and the Dead Sea are examples of the many one-of-a-kind places to visit in Jordan. Amman, the capital of Jordan, is a living model of a large and modern city that has all kinds of tourist attractions. On top of all that, Jordan, as a peaceful country in a turbulent area, enjoys extreme levels of safety and security. Jordanian people are internationally known for generosity, hospitality and cultural awareness and tolerance.
