CALL FOR PAPERS International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2005 (IWSSC 2005) 8th - 9th September 2005, University of Siena - Via Banchi di Sotto, 55, Siena, Italy With the support of IEEE, ComSoc, and the Univerity of Siena The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of technical papers, panel discussions and tutorials of ideas in the field of satellite communications. This workshop will be held jointly with ISWCS'05. It is intended to bring together various satellite communication systems developers to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the form of panels and tutorials. IWSCS'05 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research from the satellite communications industry. The scope of the workshop includes a wide range of technical challenges in view of the growing interest for satellite access to Internet, multi-media and broadband access to satellite communication systems, the evolution of future satellite communications with access across hybrid platforms, the definition of a cross-layer design for improving the efficiency and the performance of the air interface. The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: QoS Issues Standards Status (e.g., ITU, ETSI) Hybrid satellite and terrestrial Networks Navigation Services Reliable Multicast Protocols Innovative services through satellite TCP Performance over Satellite Routing protocols Onboard switching and processing technologies Medium access control protocols Cross-layer air interface design Handover techniques Call admission control schemes Dynamic bandwidth allocation Radio resource management for S-UMTS HSDPA via satellite Advances in modulation and coding Advances in antenna technology Channel models General Chair Giovanni Giambene, University of Siena, Italy General Co-Chair and Finance Chair Boon Sain Yeo, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Technical Program Chair Michel Bousquet, SUPAERO, Toulouse, France Technical Program co-Chair Gérard Maral, ENST, Toulouse, France Organizing Chairs: Giuliano Benelli, University of Siena, Italy Bernardo Marzucchi, Etruria Telematica and Univ. of Siena, Italy Publicity Chair: Victor Kueh, University of Surrey, UK Publication Chair Yong Huat Chew, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Web Chair Tan Gek Hiong, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Steering Committee Michel Bousquet, SUPAERO, Toulouse, France Gerard Maral, ENST, France Boon Sain Yeo, Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore Giovanni Giambene, University of Siena, Italy Jose Ignacio Moreno, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Local Organizing Committee Giovanni Giambene, University of Siena, Italy Giuliano Benelli, University of Siena, Italy Bernardo Marzucchi, Etruria Telematica and Univ. of Siena, Italy Veronica Pasqualetti, University of Siena, Italy Conference Secretariat: Università di Siena, Servizio Congressi, Via Banchi di Sotto, 46 53100 Siena, Italy, email: ghiselli@unisi.it Paper Submission Guidelines Acceptance will be based on an extended abstract (NOT the full paper) of about 1500 words (two pages in the standard IEEE conference format).

CALL FOR PAPERS

International Workshop on Satellite and Space Communications 2005 (IWSSC 2005)
8th - 9th September 2005, University of Siena - Via Banchi di Sotto, 55, Siena, Italy

With the support of IEEE, ComSoc, and the Univerity of Siena

The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists
to present new ideas and contributions in the form of technical papers, panel
discussions and tutorials of ideas in the field of satellite communications. This
workshop will be held jointly with ISWCS'05. It is intended to bring together various
satellite communication systems developers to discuss the current status, technical
challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications in the
form of panels and tutorials. IWSCS'05 seeks to address and capture highly innovative
and state of the art research from the satellite communications industry. The scope of
the workshop includes a wide range of technical challenges in view of the growing
interest for satellite access to Internet, multi-media and broadband access to satellite
communication systems, the evolution of future satellite communications with access
across hybrid platforms, the definition of a cross-layer design for improving the
efficiency and the performance of the air interface.
