IEEE ISPCS 2020

IEEE International Symposium on
Precision Clock Synchronization for Measurement, Control, and Communication

Dear ISPCS 2020 Conference Participant:
 

Due to the consequences of the Covid-19 situation, the ISPCS Steering Committee has decided to postpone the conference in Vienna to Fall 2021.  Thus, there will be no ISPCS conference in 2020.  During the discussions, the Steering Committee has considered running ISPCS 2020 as a virtual conference, but in the end, the Committee felt that the value of the ISPCS conference is in the face-to-face meetings and Plugfest, which we believe could not be successfully replicated in a virtual setting.
 

The plan is to still hold the conference in Vienna, sometime in Fall 2021.  The Steering Committee will be working to set the exact dates of the ISPCS 2021 Vienna conference in the next month or so.  We welcome and look forward to your attendance and participation in ISPCS 2021 in Vienna, Austria.
 

Sincerely,

Nikolaus Kerö and Kang Lee, ISPCS 2021 General Co-Chairs

Radim Bartos and Lee Cosart, ISPCS 2021 Program Co-Chairs
