5G: “European roadmap, Global Impact” @EuCNC 2017

EuCNC 2017 is the 26th edition of a successful series of a technical and scientific conference open to the world research community, sponsored by the European Commission, in the area of Telecommunications, focusing on communication networks and systems, and reaching services and applications. It aims at showcasing the results of the consecutive programmes on R&D and projects co-financed by European programmes, as well as presenting the latest developments in this area. The conference will have regular oral and poster sessions, and well as panels, tutorials, workshops, keynotes, and demos.

• Fantastic-5G, Flex5Gware and Speed-5G will jointly organise the “2nd 5G PPP Workshop on 5G Physical Layer Design and Hardware Aspects Below and Above 6 GHz”.

Papers

Call for papers: Submission deadline: February 24, 2017. Papers for regular sessions (to be uploaded to IEEE Xplore) are invited in the following Tracks (a full list of topics is available here):

• PHY – Physical Layer and Fundamentals
• RAT – Radio Access Technologies towards 5G
• WON – Wireless and Optical Networks
• NET – Networking
• APS – Applications & Services
• TER – Testbeds & Experimental Research

Key dates for papers

• February 24, 2017 – Workshop proposals submission deadline
• March 17, 2017 – Notification of acceptance
• April 21, 2017 – Workshop papers submission
• April 21, 2017 – Authors registration deadline

Workshops

Call for workshops: Submission deadline: February 24, 2017. Proposals for Workshops are invited in all Tracks (a full list of topics is available here):

• PHY – Physical Layer and Fundamentals
• RAT – Radio Access Technologies towards 5G
• WON – Wireless and Optical Networks
• NET – Networking
• APS – Applications & Services
• TER – Testbeds & Experimental Research

Workshops may address one or more Tracks, but they should be organised under a unified theme.  Workshops are intended to allow projects or any other group of authors to present their own work. Workshops may include invited speakers, papers, and panels.  The structure of workshops is not fixed, and proposers may design it as they think best.  Proposers are responsible for defining the full contents of the Workshop, namely the authors and presenters.  It is not expected that open calls for papers are launched for Workshops, in order to attract authors or presenters. Workshop papers can be either Presentations, Extended Abstracts (2 pages) or Full Papers (5 pages), and should be reviewed by the Workshop Technical Programme Committee. These papers will be part of the Conference Proceedings (if the authors wish to do so), but they will not be submitted to IEEE Xplore.

Key dates for workshops

Special sessions

Call for special sessions: Submission deadline: February 24, 2017. Proposals for Special Sessions are invited in all Tracks (a full list of topics is available here):

• PHY – Physical Layer and Fundamentals
• RAT – Radio Access Technologies towards 5G
• WON – Wireless and Optical Networks
• NET – Networking
• APS – Applications & Services
• TER – Testbeds & Experimental Research

Special Sessions may address one or more Tracks, but they should be organised under a unified theme.  Special Sessions are intended to allow projects or any other group of authors to present their own work. Special Sessions may include one invited speaker, besides papers.  Proposers are responsible for defining the full contents of the Special Session, namely the authors and presenters.  It is not expected that open calls for papers are launched for Special Sessions, in order to attract authors or presenters. Special Sessions papers can be either Extended Abstracts (2 pages) or Full Papers (5 pages), and should be reviewed by the Special Sessions organisers.  These papers will be part of the Conference Proceedings, but they will not be submitted to IEEE Xplore.
