Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Cognitive Radio Networks: from Theory to Reality (PE-CRN) 2011, May 13, 2011, Valencia, Spain
(in conjunction with IFIP Networking 2011) http://networking2011.org/workshops/PE-CRN.html CALL FOR PAPERS: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Aim and Scope: The Workshop on Performance Evaluation of Cognitive Radio Networks: from Theory to Reality PE-CRN 2011 is the 1st workshop focusing on the recent trend of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRNs) from a research topic to operational networks. This workshop is collocated with the Networking conference and sponsored by the IFIP Technical Committee on Communication Systems (TC6). The main objectives of PE-CRN 2011 are to bring together the state-of-the-art results on the performance of CRNs including both theoretical studies and test-bed experiments from both academia and industry, and to share experience in making CRNs from theory to reality. We invite original, previously unpublished research and experiment- oriented contributions in the area of CRNs. The accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings published by Springer, in the Lecture Notes of Computer Science (LNCS) series. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Specific topics of interests include (but are not limited to) the following: - Modeling of dynamic spectrum access mechanisms - MAC protocols and performance evaluation of CRNs - Traffic patterns of primary users and secondary users in CRNs - Implementation aspects of CRNs - Performance of CRNs from test-beds and prototype networks - Spectrum utilization measurement and models - Spectrum sensing mechanisms - Radio resource management - QoS provisioning - Energy management - Business models and pricing - Policy and regulatory aspects - Standardization ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Important Dates: Abstract due: December 23, 2010 Full Paper Submission: January 3, 2010 Acceptance Notification: February 10, 2011 Camera ready due: March 1, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Guidelines for Submission: http://networking2011.org/workshops/submission.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Organizing Committee -Workshop Chairs - Frank Y.
