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.

MOCAST takes place in Thessaloniki, Greece. Thessaloniki sits in north Greece in a city which never doubted its own cultural identity and its millennia of existence, it stands there since 315BC. Historically one of Europe’s oldest and most multiethnic cities, Thessaloniki is home to architectural marvels that testify to its centrality in Byzantine, Ottoman and Sephardic Jewish history. The city is anchored by Aristotelous Square, where curved, columned facades open to the waterfront in one direction and frame views of the historic Ano Poli (Upper City) in the other. Though it has only about one million people, compared with Athens’ five million, Salonika is widely considered the cultural capital of Greece. Thessaloniki is truly unique in the sense that it intricately marries its thousands-year-old multicultural heritage with cutting-edge art performances and cinematic avant-garde.
