                           FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS
       The 2003 International Workshop on Ultra Wideband Systems (IWUWBS)
                     Oulu, Finland, 2. - 5. June, 2003


                      Ultra Wideband - A New Dimension


                            With the increase in
    importance of Ultra Wideband (UWB) communications and to reflect the
   growing research interest in the area, a new workshop series has been
   organised. The workshops will focus on advances in UWB systems as well
        as providing a forum for reporting results from European and
        International projects involving UWB (e.g. ULTRAWAVES, UCAN,
                               WHYLESS.COM).

     The 2003 International Workshop on Ultra Wideband Systems (IWUWBS)
    will be held at the University of Oulu, Oulu, Finland, from Monday,
   2nd through Wednesday 5th June, 2003. Thursday the 5th June will be an
      "EU UWB Cluster Day". IWUWBS 2003 will highlight performance of
      existing and future systems, regulatory issues, as well as novel
            applications and implementations of UWB technology.

                  Papers are sought in the following areas
                      Channel measurement and modelling
                          Modulation and detection
                         Interference and capacity
                             Regulatory issues
                            Positioning services
                           Receiver architectures
                       Field trials and measurements
                                Positioning
                                   RADAR
                              Ad-hoc networks

                                  RF tags
                      Integrated circuits and antennas

    A special session will be organised for contributions from European
      projects in the UWB cluster e.g. ULTRAWAVES, UCAN, WHYLESS.COM. 

                             Paper Submissions
