[IEICE-CS eNews<2014-31>] IWSS conjunction with WCNC Call for Paper October 28, 2014. International Workshop on Smart Spectrum (IWSS) Smart Spectrum Utilization Based on Spectrum Measurement and Statistical Modeling Mar. 9, 2015, New Orleans, LA, USA (http://wcnc2015.smartspectrum.net/) ***************************************************** Paper submission deadline is extened to Nov. 8, 2014. ***************************************************** --------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------- Paper submission: Nov. 8, 2014 (*Extended!!*) Notification of acceptance: Dec. 15, 2014 Camera ready papers: Jan. 10, 2015 ------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- SCOPE: An essential feature of future wireless communications is efficient, flexible and dynamic spectrum utilization. A wireless network taking advantage of spectrum measurements is a new, promising approach among conventional dynamic spectrum access techniques capable of delivering such smart spectrum utilization. By analyzing real world spectrum utilization, it is possible to obtain information on the actual spectrum usage statistics which can be used to develop spectrum usage models that can enhance the performance of estimating and predicting the spectrum status, as well as improving spectrum resource management, sharing and allocation. IEEE WCNC 2015 International Workshop on Smart Spectrum (IWSS) aims to bring together researchers, industry practitioners as well as members of standardization bodies and government to meet and exchange ideas on recent research and future directions for smart spectrum utilization. The technical discussion will be focused on wireless network technology based on spectrum measurements, spectrum utilization modeling, and their applications for dynamic spectrum access. The topics of the workshop include, but are not limited to: - Spectrum measurement techniques (wideband, long term, and wide area measurements) - Spectrum measurement campaigns and system prototyping - Sensor networks for spectrum measurement - Spectrum utilization database techniques - Multidimensional spectrum utilization models - Statistical modeling of radio environment - Radio propagation modeling for spectrum sharing - Cognitive radio networks and dynamic spectrum access - Spectrum sensing techniques based on statistical modeling - MAC layer access protocol design based on statistical modeling --------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------- Instructions for authors: ------------------------------------------- Authors are invited to submit full papers electronically through EDAS conference management system: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=18651 ------------------------------------------- Details about the submission process including formatting information are available at the conference website: http://wcnc2015.ieee-wcnc.org/authors ------------------------------------------- All submitted papers are subject to peer reviews by the Technical Program Committee members. Accepted papers will be presented at the workshop as full talks and possibly as poster presentations including a short introductory talk. All accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of IEEE WCNC 2015 as well as IEEE Xplore. --------------------------------------------------------------- Contact information: Website: http://wcnc2015.smartspectrum.net/ Email: contact[AT]smartspectrum.net (Please replace [AT] with @) ======Notice====================== *@This e-mail address is only for the delivery service.
