CALL FOR PAPERS, WORKSHOP, TUTORIAL AND SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS
IEEE PIMRC 2007
18th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, September, 3-7, 2007, Athens, Greece http://www.pimrc2007.org
*****************************************************************
Conference Main Theme: Wireless Entropy
Overview
PIMRC 2007 provides a global forum for presenting the most recent advances, the future technical challenges and business opportunities that comprise the contemporary landscape in wireless communications. The organizers endeavour to attract contributions covering not only conventional areas of wireless communications (e.g., physical layer), but also emerging areas with high potential for essential scientific and societal impact such as wireless sensors for biomedical applications and non-trivial pervasive computing services. The latter areas are expected to facilitate the development of a broad vision of innovative future applications in wireless communications. The high quality IEEE endorsed technical programme, will also include tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions and keynote presentations from leading experts coming from the academic community, industry, as well as regulatory and standardisation bodies.
PIMRC 2007 will be held in Athens, Greece, September 3-7, 2007 i.e. one week following the peak of Greece's beautiful summer season.
Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers describing original and previously unpublished contributions in a wide range of topics in wireless communications. These topics are clustered into the following three major categories:
1) Physical Layer and MAC 2) Mobile and Wireless Networks 3) Applications, Services and Business Models
Papers should be in English, strictly not exceeding 5 double-column pages (3,000 words), in Adobe PDF format (which is the only accepted format for PIMRC 2007). Authors should use the relevant IEEE template, ensuring an IEEE Xplore compatible PDF-format.

Call for Workshop Proposals
We solicit workshop proposals on new and emerging topics in wireless communication and networks, services, and applications. A proposal should focus on a specific theme of current interest seeking for high-quality submissions. Proposals for one-day workshops to be held in conjunction with the main conference are solicited. A proposal can be a maximum of 2 pages long and should clearly identify the theme and specific topics of interest which define the scope of the workshop. It should also stress how it intends to provide more insight into the proposed topics with respect to the main conference. The proposal should include the workshop chairs and a tentative list of program committee members.
The organizers of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshops, inviting experts, reviewing submitted papers, and collecting camera-ready copies of accepted papers. The rest of the organizational details (registrations, workshop rooms, etc.) will be covered by the PIMRC Organizing Committee.
Proposal Submission:
Please send workshop proposals in PDF format by March 1, 2007 to the workshop co-chairs, Dr. Charalambos Skianis (skianis@iit.demokritos.gr), Dr. Nikos Passas (passas@di.uoa.gr) and Dr. Nikos Papadakis (nkpap@telecom.ntua.gr).
Important Dates:
Proposal submission due: March 1, 2007 Notification of acceptance: April 1, 2007 Workshop date: September 3, 2007
Call for Tutorials
Proposals for Tutorials (half/full day), are welcome based on the topics listed in the Call for Papers or others related to issues and opportunities for the future of wireless communications, systems and applications. Proposals should be submitted electronically, containing the following information:
* Tutorial Title * Instructor(s) * Extended Abstract (1 page) * Table of Contents (as detailed as possible) * Proposed Duration (half day, full day) * Thematic Area * Target Group(s) * Titles and venues of related tutorials that you may have given in the past, indicating (roughly) attendance level * Biographical sketch of the instructor(s)
Please submit this information electronically to:
* papadias@ait.edu.gr and * gyov@ait.edu.gr
in order to allow for a prompt and thorough evaluation of your tutorial proposal. The evaluation criteria for each proposal include the expertise and experience of the instructor(s), the relevance of the subject, as well as the general objectives of the conference.
Important dates
Tutorial submission deadline: April 30th, 2007 PIMRC 2007 Tutorials: September 2nd, 2007
Tutorial Sessions Co-Chairs
Prof. Constantinos Papadias, Athens Information Technology Prof. Gregory Yovanof, Athens Information Technology
Call for Special Sessions
PIMRC 2007 invites proposals for special sessions to be held in conjunction with conference. We solicit proposals for half and full day special sessions related to the conference topics. The aim of a special session is to bring together professionals from academia and industry to exchange ideas, experiences and identify obstacles and propose solutions in different domains of communications and telecommunications concerning key innovative issues. Proposals for special sessions should stress how they intend to provide more insight into the proposed innovative topic with respect to the main conference.
Proposal submission
Spesial sessions proposals should be submitted to the spesial session co-chairs with the title, a description of the topic, and the names of key organizers and potential presenters, by March 12, 2007.
