----------------------------------------------------------------------- International Workshop on Synergies in Communications and Localization - SyCoLo 2009 - www.SyCoLo2009.org in conjunction with ICC 2009, Dresden, Germany June 18, 2009 -----------------------------------------------------------------------

The main objective of this Workshop is to show how wireless communications and navigation/localization techniques can benefit from each other. With respect to these synergies the Workshop aims at the following fundamental questions: - How can navigation systems benefit from existing communication systems? - How can communication systems benefit from localization information of mobile terminals?

This Workshop aims at inspiring the development of new position-aware procedures to enhance the efficiency of communication networks. On the other hand it also wants to encourage new positioning algorithms based on (outdoor and/or indoor) wireless communication and/or on satellite navigation systems. This workshop is jointly organized by the FP7 EU research projects WHERE (http://www.ict-where.eu) and NEWCOM++ (http://www.newcom-project.eu:8080/Plone).

We invite you to submit your original full papers on the most recent results and technology trends in the fields of: - Hybrid positioning using both wireless communication and satellite navigation systems; - Resource management with localization information; - Location-aware PHY/MAC algorithms/procedures; - Indoor positioning combined with short range communications; - Signal Processing techniques for (seamless) indoor/outdoor localization.

Firm deadlines: Paper Submission: November 1, 2008 Paper Acceptance;) February 1, 2009 Camera-Ready: March 1, 2009

Paper Submission: Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously published. Paper length of the technical paper manuscript should be up to five-pages.

Papers should be submitted in a .pdf format by selecting ICC 2009 at the EDAS paper submission website EDAS and then selecting the workshop submission link or just choose this link: http://edas.info/newPaper.php?c=6728&track=4826&

All accepted papers will be included in the IEEE Xplore. Good luck!
