Michael Affenzeller and quite a few HEAL members are currently on their way to Sydney, Australia, to attend the IEEE APCast'12 conference next week. APCast'12 will be hosted by the University of Technology (UTC), Sydney, Australia in conjunction with Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain.
