Dear Dr. Gaetano Borriello, Greetings from Amrita University! We are hosting the first International Conference on Wireless Technologies for Humanitarian Relief (ACWR2011, cosponsored by both IEEE and ACM, www.amrita.edu/acwr2011/) scheduled in Kerala, India on December 18-21, 2011. It is one of the most beautiful locations right on the backwaters of the Arabian Sea, we have got a reputed list of people coming, and we have begun to receive excellent submissions both nationally and internationally. A large number of researchers, practitioners, and students from all over India and many other parts of the world are expected to attend and benefit from the conference. It gives us great pleasure to invite you to come and deliver an invited address. We all feel that the attendees will immensely benefit from your highly valuable scholarship, expertise, and experience. May we also request you to encourage your students, colleagues, and friends to send in paper submissions. The conference proceedings will be published by ACM and IEEE, and the best papers from the Conference will be published in Elsevier's Ad Hoc Systems Journal and Pervasive and Mobile Computing (PMC) journal. The last date for submission of papers is August 31, 2011, and the acceptances will be finalized by September 30. Interesting special events are also planned: a Ph.D. students' conclave, panel sessions, backwater rides, etc. We are expecting to be able to offer a travel grant of about $700 to author of each accepted paper.
