Call For Papers - Extended Submission Deadline
9th Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communication 2012 (WPNC’12)
15/16th of March 2012 in Dresden, Germany

We like to inform you that the submission deadline for WPNC 2012 is extended to 22nd of January 2012.

We wish to invite you to prepare and submit a paper for consideration for the 9th Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communication 2012 by 22nd of January 2012. Please also forward this Call for Papers to your colleagues in research and industry interested in the conference topics.

Scope

Localization is touching every aspect of our everyday life. Advanced location aware services are enabled by ranging and positioning techniques attracting great attention from scientists and industry alike. Recent advances in heterogeneous sensor fusion, p2p-networks, context awareness, privacy and security are enabling new system solutions and bring in new challenges to be solved at the same time. WPNC, the premier event on Positioning and Navigation in Europe, continues to provide an international platform for exchanging latest research results and inputs from the industry. Be part of the positioning revolution and submit your original contribution to WPNC 2012.

Topics

Authors are invited to submit papers presenting scientific work, practical implementations or application scenarios addressing, but not limited to the following topics:

Context awareness in localization (Semantic localization, Simultaneous localization and mapping, Location and behavior modeling, Localization in sensor networks, Cognitive position)
Ranging/Positioning techniques (RFID based approaches, Inertial Data fusion techniques, Active & passive object tracking, Underwater localization, Ultra-sound ranging, Propagation issues & antennas, UWB ranging/UWB imaging, Cooperative localization)
Navigation (Pedestrian/special forces navigation, Vehicle and robot navigation, Asset tracking, Industrial process automation)
Localization related R&D projects (Localization for the Internet of Things, Positioning techniques, UWB ranging techniques, Location-aided communications)
Location aided Communication and Applications (Localization in robotics and automotive, Local/Global application scenarios, Integrated positioning & communication, Health, public transport, M2M, Smart Grid )
Robust and Secure Positioning (Privacy in localization, Location based security, Secure ranging and localization, Fundamental limits of secure positioning, Anti-jamming techniques, Outlier/NLOS robustness)
