2022 International Workshop on ATM/CNS
October 25-27, 2022 Tokyo, JAPAN
The 2022 International Workshop on ATM/CNS (IWAC2022) was successfully held on October 25 to 27, 2022 with the collaboration of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences (JSASS). The event was held in hybrid format due to the COVID-19 pandemic and attracted about 200 participants from 13 countries around the world. There were 56 presentations in the forms of plenary, invited, and technical sessions. An exhibition was also held in parallel to the workshop.
ENRI has changed the workshop name from EIWAC to IWAC to strengthen the cooperation with the academic community through joining hands with JSASS. Nine papers recognized for outstanding quality were nominated to the Transactions of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences, a journal published by JSASS.
We sincerely appreciate your valuable contribution with high-quality presentations, papers, and fruitful discussions during the IWAC. We look forward to seeing you again at our next workshop.
Date: Oct. 25～27, 2022
Venue: Nakano Central Park Conference (Tokyo)
Selected Papers of IWAC2022
Nine high-quality papers were selected and nominated for the Transactions of the Japan Society for Aeronautical and Space Sciences published by JSASS.
