Call For Papers for
First IEEE International Symposium on
New Frontiers in Dynamic Spectrum Access Networks
8 - 11 November 2005
Renaissance Harborplace Hotel
Baltimore Harbor, Maryland, USA
SPONSORS:
IEEE Communications Society (IEEE ComSoc)
VISION:
Current radio technology trends promise to enable "Dynamic Spectrum Access"
(DSA) networks, using wide-band spectrum sensing, real-time spectrum
allocation and acquisition, and infrastructureless mesh networks. Not only
do these trends challenge the existing technologies, they challenge the
traditional "command and control" methods of allocating and licensing
spectrum by government fiat. IEEE DySPAN 2005 will be a new,
first-of-its-kind symposium on DSA Networks that brings together the
technologists designing and building these new exciting devices with the
spectrum policy community that will be charged with re-architecting the
legal regime for managing spectrum in the 21st century that must accommodate
these new technologies. Today we are moving away from command and control
approaches to spectrum management toward market-based methods and expanded
unlicensed use. Tomorrow technology trends are forcing an inflection point
in policy, leading to the adaptation of rules and practices radically
different from today's regulations. This is therefore an opportune time to
have a single, premier forum that brings together a broad range of
representatives, researchers, practitioners and policy makers from industry,
academia, and government from around the globe who are engaged in cutting
edge explorations in technology, policies and legal aspects of emerging DSA
networks.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:
DySPAN 2005 is soliciting following types of contributions that will be
published in a paper proceedings published by IEEE and made available to
conference registrants.
FULL PAPERS: Full Papers in technology and policy domain must present
original, previously unpublished, complete works. Papers in technology track
presenting research experiences from realistic systems are welcome. The
extended abstracts that are accepted need to be expanded to full papers
under the guidance of program committee members.
POSITION PAPERS: These papers must be innovative and forward-looking and
must offer new insights that show promise of pointing out future research
directions.
In addition to these, DySPAN2005 may include a few invited papers from
leading members of technology and policy community.
Following page limits will be followed
Technology Track:
* Maximum 6 pages excluding figures, tables, and reference for Extended
Abstract
* Maximum 10 page for final paper, including figures, tables, and
references
Policy track:
* Maximum 20 pages excluding figures, tables, and reference for Extended
Abstract
* Maximum 30 pages including figures, tables, references for the final
papers
Position papers:
* Maximum 10 pages for Technology track including figures, tables,
references
* Maximum 20 pages for Policy track including figures, tables, references
We recommend to format manuscripts according to the IEEE double-column
standard format. Extended abstracts should use Times Roman 11pt (or greater)
font. The final published manuscript will use Times Roman 10pt font. Authors
should use only standard fonts, i.e., Times Roman, Courier, Symbol, and
Helvetica, or equivalent. Formatting guidelines and template support for
popular word processing packages (MS-WORD, LaTeX) will be available on
http://www.ieee-dyspan.org.
