European (and other interested) folks !

On Nov. 19th we are holding a workshop on testbed-based wireless research at KTH in Stockholm. Among technical presentations, there will also be so called "community meetings" for WARP and USRP, organized by repesentatives from Mango Communications and National Instruments. These meetings give you an opportunity to get to know the development roadmap ahead, while also allowing to discuss recent/novel initiatives etc. The workshop is free of charge but we ask for registration in advance: - Registration deadline for talks is Oct. 15th. - Registration deadline for attendance is Nov 1st. More details below ...

Hope to see you in Sthlm, James

European Workshop on Testbed-Based Wireless Research November 19th 2014 KTH Main Campus, Stockholm, Sweden

web:http://people.kth.se/~perz/ewtbwr/2014/ws.html

Following up on the successful "scandinavian workshop on testbed based wireless research" of last year we are happy to announce the more ambitious first "European workshop on testbed based wireless research" which will also be held at the Royal Institute of Technology, KTH.

### Workshop scope ### Over the last decade software-defined radios have become an important tool for evaluating novel ideas on algorithms and protocols for wireless communications and networking. This has been recognized by many research groups in academia and industry, leading to a steady proliferation of wireless testbed equipment around the world. This is accompanied by a massive increase in research output related to experimental evaluation rather than traditional methods like mathematical analysis or simulations. In this workshop, we intend to offer the community a meeting venue for knowledge exchange in a rather informal way. The workshop is dedicated to

1. The presentation of novel research results at an early stage without formal paper submission, reviewing and a subsequent workshop proceeding. This gives researchers the opportunity to get feedback on their work at an early stage, likely improving subsequent publications. 2. Sharing prototyping best-practice and development experience with other researchers and developers in the community, and discussing initiatives and concerns with respect to different development platforms together with representatives of the platform development teams.

To achieve this, the workshop is composed of three different parts: - Presentation slots for (early) research results, accompanied by an abstract but no formal paper published later in a proceeding. - Poster and demo presentations also accompanied by an abstract but no paper presented in a proceeding. - Parallel two-hour community meetings, with Mango and National Instruments respectively. The two communities will present the latest new from their respective development platforms USRP (National instruments) and WARP (Mango). These community meetings will also have the opportunity for researchers to discuss their concerns, needs, ideas, suggestions etc. with the company representatives and the broader community.

For paper, poster or demo presentation, we solicit contributions in the broad areas of wireless communications and networking as long as they are related to experimental work. Areas of interest are (but not limited to):

- Physical layer design - Protocol design, not only limited to the medium access control layer - Network optimization and management - Validation results, i.e. performance comparisons between theoretical and experimental work - Tools for experimental platforms (i.e. new libraries, novel hardware/software designs etc.)

### Registration ###

For participants the workshop is free of charge, i.e. we do not request a registration fee. However, participants need to register: - Pure participation requires a registration by November 1st. - Talks need to be registered with a title and an abstract by October 15th. The organizing committee will decide on the assignment of presentation slots if we receive too many registrations for talks. The slot assignments will be based on relevance to the workshop community and novelty of the contribution. - Demos are accepted as they are proposed, as well as poster presentations. Here, we request a registration by November 1st.

Abstracts for talks and demos should be limited to two pages in IEEE conference style format. Please register talks, demos and/or participation by sending an email to per.zetterberg@ee.kth.se with subject [EWT] .
