Call for Presentations
Based on an overwhelming desire from participants in last year’s event, this
second annual workshop will expand to include two tracks – one focused on SDR
technologies and the other focused on Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum
Access technologies. The SDR Forum invites you to submit a presentation
proposal for either of these tracks on topic areas that include:
- Software Defined Radio Technologies, including:
- RF Technology and Devices
- Baseband Signal Processing Technology and Devices
- Frameworks and Middleware
- Software Design
- Software Communications Architecture (SCA)
- Firmware and other IP
- Advanced Signal processing
- Waveforms
- Multimode Terminal and Infrastructure Design
- Standards for Reconfigurable Radio and Supporting Components
- Certification, Validation, Testing and Tools
- Regulatory Considerations and Spectrum Policy
- Cognitive Radio Technologies, including:
- Cognitive engines
- Policy Ontology and Language
- Sensing and Awareness
- Spectrum Etiquettes
- Coexistence
- Spectrum and Resource Management
- White Space
- SDR and CR Market Applications and Business Models
- Commercial Wireless
- Defense
- Public Safety
- Satellite Communications
- Automotive
- Emerging Markets
- Education in SDR and CR
Presentations will be 30 minutes in duration, including questions. Although this is a presentation only workshop,
papers supporting the presentation are strongly encouraged. A workshop CD acting as the conference proceedings
will be supplied to attendees containing all workshop presentations and associated papers.
Proposals for presentations from national research and development programs across Europe are especially
welcome. Program presentations could be as single overview presentations or complete sessions with a program
overview followed by 2 or 3 technical presentations.
Submissions for the European Reconfigurable Radio Technologies workshop are being processed by EDAS
Conference Management System. If you have previously submitted a paper or abstract for other professional conferences,
you probably already have an account on EDAS. If you do not have an account, create one at http://edas
info/ using your email address and a password. Then, go to http://edas.info/8201 click the “Submit Paper” tab
and submit your abstract or proposal -- be sure to select up to three “Topics” that would be appropriate for your
submission. An acknowledgment of your submission will be sent from EDAS, and a notice regarding acceptance
of your submission will be sent based on the schedule above.
If your proposal is accepted, you will have the
prestige of being chosen to present at this second
annual event, and will receive a discount on the
workshop fee, allowing you to fully participate in the
workshop and network with partners, customers, and
competitors.
Proposals are due no later than 19 December 2009;
Notifications of acceptance will be made by 29 January 2010.
Presentations and associated papers are due for inclusion on the
conference CD by 7 May 2009.
Keynote Announcement
The SDR Forum is pleased to announce that the
following keynote invitations have been tentatively accepted
for this event:
- Tero Solante, Principle SDR Officer, European Defence Agency
- Dr. Donald Steinbrecher, Chief Scientist, Navy Undersea Warfare Center
- Peter Olanders, Director at Ericsson and Chair of the ETSI Technical Committee on Reconfigurable
Radio Systems
Other keynotes will be announced – please check back for up to date information
Become an Exhibitor
In addition to the main conference program, The SDR Forum will host a product
and technology exhibition during an extended networking lunch on Thursday afternoon
and during a reception on Thursday evening. This exhibition provides an outstanding
opportunity to reach representatives at all levels of the wireless value chain. The ability
for exhibitors to reach SDR Forum members, visitors and conference attendees is
enhanced through inclusion on the workshop web site. A direct link will be established
through the conference site to promote workshop exhibitors. This link will remain active
for at least two months following the event.
Attendees will also receive information on all participating exhibitors through the
workshop program. This information will facilitate visits to the exhibits by highlighting
participating organizations and will also be a useful take away resource for delegates
following the conference.
Organizations wishing to exhibit should contact Allan Margulies.
Sponsor a Workshop
The SDR Forum is also seeking a limited number of sponsors for this workshop.
Sponsors will have their logo prominently displayed at the workshop and in all workshop
materials, and will be recognized in all conference communications and press
releases. Sponsors will also receive two complementary passes for the workshop.
Organizations wishing to sponsor this workshop should contact Allan Margulies.
