Dear Colleagues,
You are kindly invited to attend the fifth International Conference on Engineering and Sustainability (ICES5) which will be taking place from November 4th – 5th 2014 at Islamic University of Gaza, Gaza City (Palestine). ICES5 is jointly organized by the faculty of Engineering at Islamic University of Gaza (IUG) , Gaza City (Palestine) , and UNIVERSITI SAINS MALAYSIA (USM), Malaysia. The conference aims to bring together leading academic scientists, researchers and scholars in the world to exchange and share their experiences and research results in different aspects in advanced engineering and sustainability.
