Welcome to the
London Communications Symposium 2002. This year we have seen an exceptional
response with well over 110 papers submitted, of which 96 have been accepted by
the review process for presentation. This represents contributions from
researchers at 22 UK universities, as well as a number of industrial bodies,
and European universities.
We are proud to
continue the tradition of offering a forum for young researchers to be able to
present current work in the area of communications, at a meeting, which is less
formal than many others. We are pleased to present an accompanying programme of plenary presentation from both
international academics and leading industrial figures.
We would like to
thank all those involved in the organisation of the meeting for their hard
work. Special thanks must go to the 'army' of reviewers who diligently looked
at all the papers in
just 3 weeks in August.
We are very
grateful to all registrants for their support of this meeting, which we feel
provides valuable experience for young engineers. We hope you find the
programme both stimulating and interesting.
Finally, we look
forward to seeing you at LCS 2003.
