Honolulu will be hosting the IEEE Communications Society International Conference November 30 to December 4, 2009 at the Hilton Hawaiian Villiage. This organization is composed of various electronic communications professionals. Here is a link to the Globecom 2009 website: http://www.ieee-globecom.org/2009/

As part of this conference, a local student paper contest will be held for Oahu undergraduate college students. IEEE would like to encourage and recognize the researching talent and ingenuity in keeping with the theme of GLOBECOM 2009, “Riding the Wave to Global Connectivity” by sponsoring the Premier Student Paper Competition. The goal of this competition is to encourage undergraduate students to demonstrate or describe and discuss a topic in communications technology and be aware of the effective use of communications technology in contributing to a global setting. Students may write a technical report or a white paper on a technical topic. Topical ideas may be aligned with the Globecom conference topics. An IPOD for best paper as well as other prizes will be awarded.

This is a call for papers (actually an abstract of the paper) for the contest. The abstract should state the topic's relevance to Global Connectivity. Abstracts are accepted up to the point where the paper is to be turned in. Email the 250 word abstract to Chris Russell at chris@archinoetics.com by November 16, 2009.The latest information for this contest will be posted on group called “Hawaii Section Volunteer and Local Student Paper Contest FAQs and Sign-up” on the ComSoc Communities website (you do not have to be a member to register).
