Motivated by the skyrocketing demand for radio spectrum, facilitated by regulatory policy movements, and enabled by advances in RF technologies, there has been significant research towards developing networking technologies for white spaces -- the allocated but unutilized and under-utilized radio spectrum. One noticeable example is the recent prototype development and FCC historical rulings on white spaces in the TV bands. This workshop aims at providing a timely venue for discussing the current activities and findings in the field of cognitive radio networks, dynamic spectrum access, interference prevention, coexistence, and regulatory issues. This workshop will focus on recent advances as well as challenging papers. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:

* Spectrum Sensing and Spectrum Management
* Cognitive Radio Test-Beds and Hardware Prototypes
* DSA/Cognitive Radio Standardization Activities (e.g. IEEE P1900, IEEE 802.22)
* Accreditation, Trust, & Security Mechanisms for DSA Networks
* Cross-Layer Protocol Design
* Cooperation and Game-Theoretical Protocols for Cognitive Radios
* Practical Experience and System Implementation

Poster/Demo Submission Instructions:
Submission of a demo or a poster requires a written 3-page summary describing the demo or the research results that are to be presented. Submission should go through EDAS. The authors of the accepted posters/demos will have the option of whether to include a 3-page summary in the workshop proceeding, which will be archived by IEEE Xplore.

The workshop aims to serve as a discussion platform for leading researchers to address the key technical challenges in the design and implementation of dynamic spectrum access technologies. Therefore, the presentations are by invitation-only. However, we might accept a few poster/demo submissions in the presentation session as well.
