Since 1998 CSNDSP has now been recognised as a forum for the exchange of
ideas among engineers, scientists and young researchers from all over the world on
advances in communication systems, communications networks, digital signal
processing and other related areas and to provide a focus for future research and
developments. CSNDSP 2020 is organized by Instituto de Telecomunicações a
research institute in Portugal. The local organising committee invites you to submit
original high quality papers addressing research topics of interest for presentation at
the CSNDSP 2020, which will be held at the beautiful city of Porto. As in previous
events CSNDSP 2020 will also be hosting dedicated colloquiums and a number of
special sessions on selected topics that you may wish to submit papers.
 Colloquiums
- Optical Wireless Communications (OWC)
- Integrated Microwave Photonics (IMWP)
- Communication Networks Optimization (CNO)
- Optical Fiber Devices and Sensing Applications (OFD)
 Special Sessions
