The International Conference on Modern Circuits and Systems Technologies (MOCAST) on Electronics and Communications aims to bring together leading academic and industrial scientists and researchers to exchange and share their knowledge and experiences about all aspects of Circuits and Systems. It also provides a forum for exchanging ideas, discussing research results, and presenting practical applications in the areas of modeling, design, simulation, synthesis and implementation of Circuits and Systems. It provides an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary forum for researchers, engineers and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns, practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted in these fields.
