Aim & Scope

The objective of the symposium, to be held in Vienna, Austria on October 2-7, 2022, is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners from industry, academia, national laboratories, and government involved in the area of precision clock synchronization and distributed time-based applications. Both IEEE members and non-members are invited to attend.
