The IEEE International Symposium on Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks (DySPAN) is a unique conference that mixes technology and policy issues, thereby becoming the premier meeting for sharing and exploring advanced spectrum technologies. IEEE DySPAN 2019 solicits research papers in both technology and policy subjects. Topics include but not limited to:

TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM TOPICS
• Spectrum measurements and models
• Interference metrics and measurements
• Security and privacy issues in spectrum access and management
• Information-theoretic aspects of spectrum sharing
• Energy-efficient dynamic spectrum access (DSA)
• MAC and routing protocols for DSA
• DSA and/or spectrum sharing in mmWave spectrum
• Spectrum management for the Internet of Things (IoT)
• RF energy harvesting in dynamic spectrum access regimes
• Application of AI in spectrum access and management
• Geolocation databases for DSA and sharing
• Coexistence of heterogeneous technologies


POLICY PROGRAM TOPICS
• Business models and pricing for DSA
• Market and regulatory approaches and trends to facilitate secondary spectrum access and usage
• Market and regulatory approaches to enabling DSA
• Software regulation/standardization and equipment certification
• Industry and government roles in enabling dynamic spectrum access
• Dynamic spectrum auctions and economics with focus on incentive auctions
• Spectrum etiquettes and coexistence models
• Spectrum sharing vs infrastructure sharing
• Defining/enforcing rights and responsibilities of spectrum licensees and easement
• Standardization of DSA technology



IMPORTANT DATES
• Full paper submission deadline: May 31, 2019
• Short and demo paper submission deadline: will be updated soon
• Notification of acceptance: July 31, 2019
• Camera-ready submission: August 31, 2019



PAPER SUBMISSION FORMAT
Authors will need to follow the IEEE conference paper style. Details about the format can be found here:
http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.

The maximum page limits for full, short, and demo papers are 10, 5, and 2 pages, respectively, including references and appendices.

REVIEW PROCESS (FULL, SHORT, AND DEMO PAPERS)
Papers (except for demo papers) submitted to IEEE DySPAN 2019 will follow a double-blind review process. This means that authors of the submitted papers will need to remove all information revealing their identity (this includes author names, affiliations, references to citations that imply the work was previously done by the author(s), and references to sponsoring agencies).

BEST PAPER AWARDS AND JOURNAL SPECIAL ISSUE
Full papers are considered for best paper awards and journal special issue invitation as follows. Two Best Paper Awards, each from the technology and policy programs, will be presented based on the evaluation of the technical program committee. Extended versions of selected full papers will be also invited for fast track review and possible publication in a special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Cognitive Communications and Networking (TCCN).
