CALL FOR PAPERS The Eighth International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS 2011)

Aachen, Germany, 6th - 9th November, 2011 http://www.ti.rwth-aachen.de/iswcs2011/

Wireless Communications is at the centre of a new and passionate era characterised by smart and flexible transceiver concepts, the convergence of systems and technologies, a transition towards all-IP networks, and the development of technologies with a user-centric focus. In this context, the International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems (ISWCS) is positioning itself as a recognised and dynamic forum for researchers and technologists to present and discuss original ideas and contributions in all fields related to mobile wireless communication systems.

The aim of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of tutorials, panel discussions, keynote speeches, technical papers, posters and testbed implementations. ISWCS'11 seeks to address and capture highly-innovative and state-of-the-art research from academia , the wireless industry and standardization bodies. The scope of the conference includes a wide range of technical challenges encompassing wireless communications, quality of service support, wireless networking, signal processing, cross-layer air interface design for improved performance, wireless broadband access, and cooperative communications.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Cooperative communication and relaying - Cognitive radio - Radio resource management - Wireless access techniques - Cross-layer air interface - Information and communication theory - Bio-inspired communications - Signal processing, including VLSI architectures - Estimation and detection - Coding and modulation - Network coding - Compressive sensing - MIMO communications - Multi-carrier systems, OFDM - Spread spectrum and UWB - Antennas and propagation - Self organizing networks - Ad-hoc, mesh and sensor networks - Mobility management and modeling - QoS provisioning - Wireless network architectures and technologies - Smart grid communications - Innovative services and applications - Wireless privacy and security

Paper Submission Guidelines Acceptance will be based on full papers. Accepted and registered papers will be published in the conference proceedings and made electronically available. Papers must be submitted via EDAS by May 30, 2011. Submission guidelines will be downloadable from the symposium web page.
