IEEE PIMRC 2008
Cannes, French Riviera, France
14-18 September 2008
===============================================================================================
Overview:
The annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile
Radio
Communications (PIMRC) is one of the premier conferences in the wireless
research
arena and has a long history of bringing together academia, industry and
regulatory
bodies. Today, it has become one of IEEE ComSoc's flagship conferences
in telecommunications.
The 19th edition of PIMRC will be held from 14-18 September 2008 in
glamorous Cannes,
French Riviera, France, at the "Palais des Festivals de Cannes" where
traditionally the
Cannes Film Festival is being held. With Cannes being one of the most
charming places on
earth, we expect this to be a truly special conference.
Focus:
PIMRC 2008 will provide a global forum for presenting the most recent
advances, the future
technical challenges and business opportunities that comprise the
contemporary landscape in
wireless communications. The organizers endeavour to attract
contributions covering not only
conventional areas of wireless communications (e.g., physical layer),
but also emerging areas
with high potential for essential scientific and societal impact such as
wireless sensors for
biomedical applications, non-trivial pervasive computing services and
ambient technologies.
The latter areas are expected to facilitate the development of a broad
vision of innovative
future applications in wireless communications. The high quality IEEE
endorsed technical programme,
will also include tutorials, workshops, exhibitions, panel discussions
and keynote presentations
from leading experts coming from the academic community, industry, as
well as regulatory and
standardisation bodies.
Call for Papers:
Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers describing original
and previously unpublished
contributions in a wide range of topics in wireless communications.
These topics are clustered
into the following three major categories:
1) Physical Layer and MAC
2) Mobile and Wireless Networks
3) Applications, Services and Business Models
Papers should be in English, strictly not exceeding 5 double-column
pages. Authors should use the
relevant IEEE template, ensuring an IEEE Xplore compatible PDF-format.
