CALL FOR PAPERS AND WORKSHOP PROPOSALS

IEEE PIMRC 2007

18th IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications, September, 3-6, 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 3-6, 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Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers describing original and previously unpublished contributions in a wide range of topics in wireless communications.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.

To access the full list of topics, submission guidelines, as well as venue and travel information please visit: www.pimrc2007.org

Important Dates

Full papers due: March 3rd, 2007 Acceptance notice: May 31st, 2007 Final manuscript due: June 16th, 2007 Conference dates: September 3-6, 2007

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
