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previously unpublished contributions in a wide range of topics in wireless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

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

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

organizers and potential presenters, by March 12, 2007. Prior contact with
the spesial session co-chairs is encouraged. The organizer(s) of approved
spesial sessions will be responsible for advertising their special session,
and for the reviewing process for their papers, and for the collection of
camera-ready copies of accepted papers. The spesial session proposal should
follow the specific proposal form available at the website.
