Call for Papers
International Conference on Localization and GNSS
(ICL-GNSS) 2012, Starnberg, nearby Munich, Germany, June 25-27, 2012
www.ICL-GNSS.org
Driven by both market trends and legal regulations, there is a high demand for
providing a robust localization solution, which will be available continuously,
regardless the specific environment, i.e., outdoors and indoors, and on
different platforms such as stand-alone navigators, PDAs and mobile devices.
ICL-GNSS addresses the latest research on wireless- and satellite-based
positioning techniques to provide reliable and accurate position information
with low latency. The emphasis is on the design of mass-market navigation
receivers and related tools and methodologies. The scope includes (but is not
strictly limited to) the following topics:
- Wireless and sensor based localization complementary to GNSS
* Location methods for indoor and densely populated urban areas
* Assisted and hybrid (INS, wireless networks, ...) positioning
* Signals-of-opportunity (Wi-Fi, cellular radio, ZigBee, Bluetooth, UWB,
...)
* Design of cognitive positioning architectures and algorithms
* Cooperative and swarm location strategies
- GNSS for mass market receivers
* Navigation satellite systems: Status and evolution (GPS, Galileo,
GLONASS, multi-carrier signals and advanced coding techniques for navigation,
...)
* Antennas and RF front-ends for navigation receivers
* Baseband hardware and software implementations (tracking, acquisition,
interference and multipath mitigation, ionospheric correction, ...)
* Data decoding and PVT computation algorithms
* Multi-system navigation receivers (communication-based and multi GNSS)
* Technology transfer from high-end to mass market navigation receivers
* Satellite navigation system and receiver simulators
- Performance evaluation and testing
* Evaluation and benchmarking of positioning receivers and algorithms
* Verification, run-time calibration and testing of positioning devices
* Test platforms for location-based services
This conference is jointly organized by European and American professionals. It
aims at inspiring the development of new design, implementation, test and
evaluation methodologies for positioning receivers. The conference is strongly
emphasizing both quick turn-around time and high quality of the published
papers.
We invite you to submit your original full papers on the most recent results
and technology trends in the fields of positioning. The papers will be refereed
by peer reviewers, and published in electronic proceedings.
Deadlines:
Deadline for paper submission: March 2, 2012
Notification of acceptance: April 13, 2012
Camera-ready papers due: May 11, 2012
Paper Submission:
Submitted papers must represent original material that is not currently under
review in any other conference or journal, and has not been previously
published. Papers should be four to six pages long in the specified format.
Papers should be submitted as pdf files prepared according to IEEE two-column
A4 format guidelines. A selected subset of papers will be invited to be
extended to a special issue on "Positioning receiver technology" in
International Journal on Embedded and Real-Time Communication Systems
(IJERTCS). The best paper of the conference will be awarded.
