Deadline for SDR-WInnComm Abstract Submissions Extended Two Weeks by Popular Request

May 2, 2012 - PRLog -- The Wireless Innovation Forum (http://www.WirelessInnovation.org), a non-profit international industry association dedicated to driving the future of radio communications and systems worldwide, announced a two week extension of their Call for Abstract Submissions in the Research and Development (R&D) and Design, Manufacture and Deploy (DMD) Tracks as well as for Tutorials and Workshops for its Conference on Communications Technologies and Software Defined Radio (SDR-WInnComm).

Abstracts will now be due May 15, 2012.
         
Attracting attendees from all aspects of the reconfigurable radio value chain, SDR-WInnComm is the ideal place to network and make an impact on the reconfigurable radio community. It will take place 8-10 January 2013 at the beautiful Wardman Park Marriott in Washington, DC.

In 2011 there were more than 81,000 downloads from previous proceedings, making this event an ideal venue to showcase and garner attention for current work in the fields of software defined radio, cognitive radio and dynamic spectrum access.

Research and Development (R&D) Track Submissions
The premier track for academic disclosure of novel SDR and CR techniques, the R&D track focuses on advanced research and development in software defined radio (SDR), cognitive radio (CR) and dynamic spectrum access (DSA) technologies. Papers are required in this track and selection will be competitive, based on intensive peer review. To submit your abstract and be a part of the only event devoted to the advancement of reconfigurable radio technologies from research through deployment, visit: http://edas.info/N12027. Top papers in this track will be eligible for placement in the Springer Journal of Analog Integrated Circuits and Signal Processing (AISCP).

Design,  Manufacture and Deployment (DMD) Track Submisisons
This track provides a perspective on the current “state of the art” in SDR, CR and DSA and the development and deployment of these technologies, including commercialization trends and near term technology innovations. Papers in this track are optional, but highly encouraged. Selection will be competitive based on review of presentation outline and the available number of speaking slots.  To submit an abstract proposal for the DMD Track, visit: http://edas.info/N12027

Tutorial Submissions
This track provides training in specific topic area relevant to the design, manufacture or deployment of SDR, CR or DSA technologies. Tutorials are provided in a two hour session, but may be extended upon request. Selection will be competitive based on the available number of speaking slots, with preference given to “hands-on” tutorials where provided. Submit your proposal here: http://edas.info/N12027.

Workshop Submissions
Workshops strive to achieve a predefined objective through multiple interactive sessions exploring a specific topic area relevant to research, design, manufacture or deployment of SDR, CR or DSA technologies.  Workshops are provided in two, two hour sessions which may be extended through a conference keynote or plenary panel session. Selection will be competitive based on the topic relevance and the maturity of the proposal. Proposal submission site is here: http://edas.info/N12027.
