Call for Papers: CorNer: Workshop on Communication for Networked Smart Cities
Description:
By 2050, urban population internationally will have increased by 2.8 billion
people. Moreover, at the current rate of carbon emissions, global temperatures will
have risen by 2º C from pre-industrial levels. Therefore, there is an urgent need to
plan the cities of the future in a sustainable fashion. As a major agent for promoting a
quality of life compatible with a resource efficient economy, the smart city
phenomenon has recently captured the imagination of the academia and the industry
alike. Since the Internet of things (IoT) is expected to be a primary driving force for
future cities, advanced communication techniques will play a pivotal role in facilitating
real-time data acquisition and utilization from distributed sensors. However, future
cities will also have to operate within the constraints of the national economy and
power resources. Hence, the challenges in the realization of smart cities are many
and varied, such as low energy consumption requirement, constrained bandwidth and
budgetary limitations. In order to overcome these hurdles, it is essential that new
concepts and theories for optimizing the network in energy, spectral and monetary
terms are presented to achieve a robust environment monitoring and sustainable
transportation network, among other provisions. This workshop is aimed at furthering
this effort by forging collaborations through the presentation of state-of-the-art
research endeavors by scholars from across the globe. The participants will have the
opportunity to share their findings with the academic community at large as well as to
form collaborations to jointly investigate new aspects of smart cities.
SAS5G: Workshop on Spectrum Aggregation and Sharing for 5G Networks
Organizers:
o Dirk Slock (EURECOM)
o Florian Kaltenberger (EURECOM)
o Valerio Frascolla (Intel Deutschland GmbH)
Paper submission: via EDAS
Call for Papers: SAS5G: Workshop on Spectrum Aggregation and Sharing for 5G Networks
Description:
Spectrum is the key resource for all wireless communications. This workshop will bring together experts from the field of Spectrum Aggregation and Sharing to give an overview of the state-of-the art, to disseminate their latest developments, and to discuss the future of these two technologies and in particular their potential impact on the coming 5G systems. This workshop is supported and organized by the 3 most important EU-funded projects (ADEL and SOLDER from FP7 and SPEED-5G from H2020) currently working on different aspects of spectrum management, aggregation and sharing technologies.
