Wireless World Research Forum
Call for Contributions to the
7^th WWRF Meeting in Eindhoven, The Netherlands
3^rd - 4^th December 2002
The "Wireless World Research Forum (WWRF)" was founded in early 2001
with the objective of formulating visions on long-term strategic
research directions in the wireless field, involving industry and
academia. The aim is to generate, identify, and promote research areas
and technical trends for mobile and wireless system technologies. By
September 2002, the WWRF had over 130 members. Membership in the forum
is open to all interested parties. Members are expected to contribute
papers and ideas.
The forum will hold its 7^th meeting on 3^th-4^th December 2002 in
Eindhoven at the Koningshof Conference Centre. The two-day programme
will include plenary sessions, a General Assembly meeting (limited to
members) and Working Group discussions. Feature presentations from
international experts in the plenary sessions will stimulate the
discussions in the working groups.
As an input to the Seventh WWRF Meeting in Eindhoven, we invite
written contributions to the working groups from members and other
participants.
These should advance the work of the Forum, and Working Groups by
either:
(a) Contributing towards the development of reference models
for the Wireless World.
(b) Identifying important new research areas for wireless
communication systems beyond the third generation.
(c) Contributing towards the already identified research areas
as given below.
(d) Contributing towards the White Papers being developed
within the Working Groups.
(e) Sharing information about, or results from, complementary
research projects or activities outside the Forum.
The Working Group subject areas in (c) include, but are not limited
to, those listed below:
1. WG1: The Human Perspective of the Wireless World.
WG1 invites contributions offering new perspectives in four focus
areas:
¨ Usage scenarios and analysis
¨ A user-focused reference model
¨ UI technologies and techniques
¨ User centred design process
as well as proposals for new user-focused research of relevance to
systems beyond 3G, including, for example:
¨ User content applications
¨ Natural interaction modes
¨ Performance/quality requirements for applications or user
groups
¨ User issues related to ubiquity of information
2. WG2: The Service Architecture for the Wireless World.
WG2 invites contributions offering new perspectives in the following
focus areas:
¨ I-Centric Business Models
¨ Ambient-Awareness
¨ Personalization
¨ Adaptability
and contributions identifying new focus areas for the service
architecture of the Wireless world.
3. WG3: New Communication Environment and Heterogeneous Networks.
WG3 invites contributions offering new perspectives in the following
focus areas:
¨ Transversal issues on cooperation (either integration or
interworking) between different Access technologies.
¨ Broadcasting and Mobile Networking cooperation
¨ Backward compatibility issues of "All-IP" wide area mobile
networks and the existing and emerging standards
¨ Network Reconfigurability
¨ Mobile Broadcasting and Multicasting
¨ Mobility and Resource management and end-to-end QoS techniques
¨ Security
¨ Software radio and reconfigurable RF and Baseband
architectures
¨ Reconfigurability Management and Architectures
¨ Active Networking
4. WG4: Spectrum, New Air Interfaces and Ad-Hoc Networking
WG4 invites contributions to the workshop in the areas of:
¨ Scenario definitions and service related traffic analyses
¨ Concepts for NG systems
¨ Spectrum requirements for next generation (NG) high speed
systems
¨ Channel modelling and propagation for NG systems
¨ Coexistence of systems in the same frequency band
¨ Single- and multi-carrier based air-interfaces for high mobile
use
¨ UWB system research results
¨ Interference aware and low power consuming MAC protocols
¨ Air interfaces for slow mobiles with a bitrate of up to 1 Gbps
¨ Advanced smart antennas technology for NG systems
¨ Ad hoc networks related solutions
¨ Multi-hop wireless systems
¨ Infrastructure based NG mobile broadband systems
Extended Abstracts of at least 2 A4 pages should be submitted for
review by e-mail, either in plain ASCII text or with MS Word
attachments, to:
contrib_meeting7@wireless-world-research.org
before the 25^th October. Notification of review outcome will be on
4^th November.
