This fifth annual conference will include four tracks this year – one focused on SDR technologies, one focused on Cognitive Radio and Dynamic Spectrum Access technologies, one focused on CR and SDR programs and requirements and one on Tactical Radio (NEW!).

Presentations will be 25 minutes in duration, including questions. Presentation only is an option for those not wishing to do a full paper. Conference proceedings containing all presentation and tutorial materials and any associated papers will be made available to attendees and published online for future reference. Papers published in conference proceedings will be peer reviewed, and top papers for this event may be eligible for placement in (VLSI) Journal of Signal Processing Systems.

Submissions for SDR – WInnComm – Europe are being processed by EDAS Conference Management System. If you have previously submitted a paper or abstract for other professional conferences, you probably already have an account on EDAS. If you do not have an account, create one at http://edas.info/ using your email address and a password. Then, go to http://edas.info/N13283 click the “Submit Paper” tab and submit your abstract or proposal -- be sure to select up to three “Topics” that would be appropriate for your submission. Select “Full Paper” or “Presentation Only” in EDAS as appropriate. An acknowledgment of your submission will be sent from EDAS, and a notice regarding acceptance of your submission will be sent based on the schedule to the right.

Proposals for presentations from national research and development programs across Europe are especially welcome.

If your abstract is accepted, you will have the prestige of being chosen to present at this third annual event, and will receive a discount on the workshop fee, allowing you to fully participate in the workshop and network with partners, customers, and competitors. Top papers may be considered for inclusion in (VLSI) Journal of Signal Processing Systems.
