Greeting from the Founder and Director of IEEE GCCE
On behalf of the organizing members, it is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the 2016 IEEE 5th Global Conference on Consumer Electronics (GCCE 2016) to be held in Kyoto, Japan on October 11-14, 2016.
This new conference was planned by Dr. Stefan Mozar, Vice President of the Conference, and me, and is strongly supported by Mr. Stephen Dukes, President. First, I wish to thank Mr. Dukes, Dr. Mozar and all the members of Consumer Electronics Society who have endeavored to establish the conference.
I would like to give a special thanks to the executives of the associations and societies of Japan, including, the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, the Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan, the Institute of Image and Television Engineers, the Information Processing Society of Japan, the Institute of Image Electronics Engineers of Japan, the Japan Institute of Electronics Packaging, the Game Amusement Society, the Japan Institute of Power Electronics, and the Human Interface Society.
The IEEE Consumer Electronics Society has already held two successful conferences, the International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE) in Las Vegas in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show, and ICCE-Berlin in conjunction with IFA. The GCCE is a sister conference of the ICCE and the ICCE-Berlin. Furthermore, the International Chapters of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society held successful conferences, the International Symposium on Consumer Electronics (ISCE) every year. Furthermore, the Consumer Electronics Society will hold new conferences.
This conference will be endorsed by a strong scientific and technical program and by the attendance of senior engineers and younger delegates from various countries. I believe that it is very important for us to discuss interesting topics and exchange ideas. Through the GCCE, we will continue to stimulate and inspire each other.
I hope you have an enjoyable stay at the GCCE 2016 in Japan and I'm looking forward to seeing you there.
Tomohiro Hase
Founder & Director of GCCE
