*********************************************************

The World Congress on Sustainable Technologies (WCST-2012) is a
multidisciplinary
congress, Technical Co-Sponsored by IEEE UK/RI Computer Chapter. The WCST is
bridging efforts across the natural, social and engineering sciences,
the environment and
development of communities. The congress covers a wide spectrum of
topics that relate to
sustainability, which includes technical and non-technical research
areas. It also encourages
sharing new knowledge in the field of sustainable technologies and the
environmental
impacts. The mission of WCST-2012 is to provide the opportunities for
collaboration and
reflection that have the potential to greatly enhance the infrastructure
and capacity for
conducting and applying art, science and technology for sustainability.
The WCST bridges
the gap between academia and industry by creating awareness of current
development in
sustainable technologies.
