Dear all, We are pleased to announce that in order to accommodate late registration requests and particular circumstances of some attendees, registration for the Summer School 2013 on Cognitive Wireless Communications has been extended until the 5th July. It will not be possible to register after that date. The registration fee is 300 GBP, which includes 4.5 days worth of high quality lectures, printed proceedings, a bootable GNU Radio experimentation USB stick, lunches, breaks, attendance of the social event, and other content. To register for the Summer School please go to this link: http://estore.kcl.ac.uk/browse/extra_info.asp?compid=1&modid=2&prodid=183&deptid=18&catid=56 More about the Summer School is at this link: www.summerschool2013.eu<http://www.summerschool2013.eu> Kind regards, Oliver ********SUMMER SCHOOL UPDATE******** Please forward to colleagues, associates and other interested parties. This is an update on the planning for the Summer School 2013 on Cognitive Wireless Communications, to be held at King's College London on the 8-12 July 2013. 1. The Summer School has opened up to the possibility for attendees to present a poster on their work on Cognitive Wireless Communications within the event. The posters that will be presented have been selected. We look forward to the additional interaction and benefit that will be provided through this dimension. 2. You may have noticed that the Summer School has been extended to cover 5 days, with an extra afternoon of content on the 8 July. Among other lectures aimed at "setting the scene" for the Summer School, this extra afternoon will include an additional GNU Radio training session by led Dr Tom Rondeau, the Project Manager of GNU Radio, in which bootable USBs memory sticks will be given (permanently) to attendees allowing attendees to emulate and experiment with software defined radio waveforms using GNU Radio under Linux. We anticipate that this training session and these bootable USB memory sticks will be extremely useful to attendees interested in emulation/experimentation with waveforms, and software defined radio in general. The excellent suggestion for this additional content comes from a modest, unnamed member of COST-TERRA... 3. King's College London has offered a number of reduced-price accommodation options for attendees of the Summer School. Information on the booking procedure for this King's College London accommodation is available on the Summer School's website: www.summerschool2013.eu<http://www.summerschool2013.eu> ********SUMMER SCHOOL UPDATE******** We are delighted to announce the Summer School 2013 on Cognitive Wireless Communications, to be held at King's College London on the 8-12 July 2013. This is the third and last annual Summer School supported by COST Action IC0902 (http://newyork.ing.uniroma1.it/IC0902), also supported by the ICT-ACROPOLIS Network of Excellence (http://www.ict-acropolis.eu) and COST Action IC0905 "TERRA" (http://www.cost-terra.org). This event aims to educate post-graduate and doctoral students, or mobile/wireless communications professionals, on Cognitive Wireless Communications and particularly decision making and decision implementation aspects of Cognitive Wireless Communications. World-renowned experts will lecture on topics covering decision making and policy considerations, regulatory and conformance constraints, and radio interfaces, coding and other implementation aspects supporting cognitive radio and spectrum coexistence. Moreover, given the intrinsic link of decision making with the precise objectives of the use of cognition in radio systems, this Summer School also delves into discussion of the applications/purposes of cognition and spectrum coexistence in wireless communication systems. Furthermore, it presents a number of interesting and interactive sessions on radio interface hardware implementation and experimentation using the latest software defined radios and associated platforms, including G NU Radio, Iris on USRPs, LabVIEW, and OpenAirInterface on ExpressMIMO2.
