The Center of Excellence in Wireless and Information Technology at Stony Brook University has been organizing the annual CEWIT Conference since its commencement in 2003. The CEWIT Conference has gained international recognition as one of the premier conferences on the development and application of emerging technologies, bringing together academic research and industry innovations at a single forum. The goal of the CEWIT Conference at large is to disseminate innovative solutions and research findings to address major technical challenges facing the development of a smarter global environment.
