The Costa Rica Section of the IEEE is organizing the 36th Convention of Central America and Panama Region, XXXVI CONCAPAN 2016. This is one of the mayor technological events in the region and this year is organized with the motto “Engineering and Technology... Greener, Smarter, and More Human!” The event will take place in San José, Costa Rica, from November 9th to 11th, 2016 in the Wyndham-Herradura Hotel. The technical program will include tutorials, conference tracks, forums, and an exhibition hall featuring engineering services and technological products by sponsoring companies. The participation in the XXXVI CONCAPAN is an excellent opportunity for professional skill development and update, professional networking, teamwork building, and it is a space to strength business relations and friendship among professional communities.

The Technical Program Committee (TPC) is pleased to extend the invitation for participation as a contributing author in the technical program of the XXXVI CONCAPAN Convention.
