[WiFlex] International Workshop on Wireless Access Flexibility - Kaliningrad, Russia

The needs of wireless networks operators and users, as well as service scenarios and application contexts are continuously and rapidly evolving. Unfortunately, the ability of traditional wireless technologies to adapt to this evolution is limited: they were designed as closed systems supporting a pre-established wireless access operation, and standardization organizations are slow in adapting to new requirements. This explains why a lot of potentially efficient but not fully standard compliant solutions have been discarded without consideration even if they had required a little change of the standard.

All this can be highly improved if existing wireless access standards based on closed architecture move towards new modular flexible architectures, opportunistically open for customization. Nowadays many researchers from all over the world are involved in designing such architectures for the next generation wireless technologies (Google finds about 3 000 000 results for the keywords “flexible architecture of wireless networks”).

WiFlex 2013 is the first forum intended to address flexible wireless access architecture design which opens the door for innovative solutions significantly improving network performance even if they do not fully conform to current telecommunication standards.

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the flexibility level of the architecture needed for the next generation wireless communications. Authors are invited to submit original unpublished manuscripts that propose and investigate innovative approaches enhancing the current wireless standard functionalities or exploiting them in non-standard manner to improve wireless networks performance. Also authors are welcome to present their visions of the novel paradigms of wireless access flexibility and requirements for future wireless network architectures.

[ADCOM] The 18th International Conference on Advanced Computing and Communications - Bangalore, India

ACCS, a partner society of the IEEE Computer Society, is a registered scientific society in India founded to provide a forum to individuals, institutions and industry to promote and disseminate their innovative and pioneering work in Computing and Communications Sciences. ADCOM, the flagship Systems Conference of the ACCS, is a major annual international meeting that attracts professionals from industry, academia and governments across the world. ADCOM is a very successful and a highly rated event that draws leading scientists and researchers in computational engineering. ADCOM 2012 focuses on the growing importance of Large Scale Systems Engineering and Virtualization will be the main theme. Virtualization emphasizes reducing and optimizing resource consumption in the march towards sustainable computing and is one of the pillars of today’s System design and deployment. The concept of Virtualization is very broad and is applied to devices, hardware platforms, operating systems, servers...

[C3] The 1st International Workshop on Cognitive Coputing and Communications - California, USA

"Cognitive" design has become one of the most important features in pervasive computing fields. Typically it is based on the utilization of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms. Today, the sensors have been designed with smart, compressive sampling in order to reduce sensor samples even before reaching the CPU processing phase; the sensor networks have been made highly intelligent through the use of distributed machine learning mechanisms; the wireless networks have been made cognitive through cognitive radios; and many other examples. This international workshop is part of IEEE Percom 2013. It aims to bring the researchers together to exchange ideas on cognitive computing and communications (C3). We emphasize the pervasive computing applications of C3 for cognitive radios, biomedical systems, structure health monitoring, smart grid, robots, GENI, and other systems. The workshop will include around 15 presentations, posters, demos, and other res...
