Driven by both market trends and legal regulations, there is a high demand for
providing a robust localization solution, which will be available continuously,
regardless the specific environment, i.e., outdoors and indoors, and on different
platforms such as stand-alone navigators, PDAs and mobile devices.

This conference addresses the latest research on satellite-based positioning techniques
to provide reliable and accurate position information with low latency. The emphasis is
on the design of mass-market and professional GNSS receivers and related tools and
methodologies. The scope includes (but is not strictly limited to) the following topics:
• Issues in navigation satellite systems (GPS, Galileo, Compass, Glonass, …)
• Antennas and RF front-ends for GNSS receivers
• Baseband hardware and software implementations (tracking, acquisition, ...)
• Multi-system (communication/navigation and multiple GNSS) receivers
• Satellite navigation system and receiver simulators
• Verification and testing of positioning devices
• Test platforms for location-based services
• Location methods for indoor and densely populated urban areas
• Assisted and hybrid (INS, wireless networks, ...) positioning
• Exploitation of augmentation systems (WAAS, EGNOS, ...)
• RAIM, FDE, and dependability of positioning solutions
• PVT computation algorithms
• Design of cognitive positioning architectures and algorithms
• Cooperative location strategies
• Run-time calibration of positioning devices
• Evaluation and benchmarking of positioning receivers and algorithms
• Technology supporting location-based services

This conference is jointly organized by European and American professionals. It aims
at inspiring the development of new design, implementation, test and evaluation
methodologies for positioning receivers. The conference is strongly emphasizing both
quick turn-around time and high quality of the published papers.

We invite you to submit your original full papers on the most recent results and
technology trends in the fields of positioning. The papers will be refereed by peer
reviewers, and published in electronic proceedings. Inclusion in a global paper
database is pending approval.
