Welcome to GC-MCWC 2006
Welcome to the 2006 Global Congress on Mobile Computing and Wireless Communications (GC-MCWC 2006). This event is intended to represent a major forum for researchers, professionals and students from all over the world to meet in the beautiful and culturally rich city of Amman in Jordan to present their latest research results and to exchange new ideas and practical experiences.

Scope

GC-MCWC 2006 main scope includes, but is not limited to the following areas: Wireless Communication Systems; Wireless Communication Networks; Mobile Computing and Applications;

GC-MCWC 2006 is planned to feature special sessions, keynote talks and tutorial sessions by leading experts, paper presentations, poster shows, demo shows, discussion panels, as well as other interesting technical activities.

Jordan

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, a history that a tourist can only admire. Places like Petra and the Dead Sea are only examples of the many one-of-a-kind places to visit in Jordan. 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.

Amman

Amman, the beautiful capital of Jordan, is a living model of a large and modern city that has all kinds of tourist attractions.
