The first TENCON -Spring conference will be held in Sydney, Australia. It is a sister conference to the well known TENCON conference. It will bring together top technical professionals from the Electronics and Electrical Engineering community to exchange information and results of recent research in the areas of electronics, communications and power engineering.

Papers presented in conference will be submitted to IEEEXplore Digital Library and indexed by EI Compendex.
Prospective authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of up to two pages including figures. The abstract for review must clearly state: the purpose of the work; the manner and degree to which it advances the art; and specific new results that have been obtained and their significance. Abstracts are to be submitted to:
