[FBW 2010] CANEUS International Fly By Wireless Workshop

Second Call For Papers and Participation

2010 CANEUS International Fly By Wireless Workshop (www.caneus.org/fbw10)

Technical Co-Sponsors: CANEUS, NASA, WiSe-Net Lab, IEEE R1/R7/Montreal/Maine/COMSOC

Registration deadline: July 30 ($150), Aug 14 ($250)

Paper Submission: July 30, 2010

PARTICIPANTS CAN RECEIVE 28 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT HOURS (PDH) TOWARD THE STATE’S PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING EDUCATIONAL REQUIREMENT.

IEEE Members will receive a $50 rebate on their registration at the event.

2010 CANEUS Fly-by-Wireless Workshop will bring together leaders from aerospace industry, academia, and government agencies, to discuss recent advances in wireless communications focused on applications in aerospace industry. The workshop will be hosted by the University of Maine, Orono, Maine, USA, on August 24-27, 2010.

The Workshop remains a unique forum for wireless technology providers and end-users to discuss aerospace road map for future research and development and form meaningful partnerships. New innovations such as battery-free wireless sensor systems, reliable multi-tier wireless networks, and high temperature sensors will be highlighted at the workshop. Ultimately, this effort will contribute to minimizing cables and connectors across the aerospace industry by providing more reliable and higher performance wireless alternatives at lower cost.

The 2010 CANEUS FWB Workshop, third of its kind, builds on the successes from the 1st Joint CANEUS/NASA 2007 “Fly-by-Wireless” Workshop, held in March 2007 at Grapevine, Texas and the 2nd CANEUS "Fly-by-Wireless" Workshop held in June 2009 at Montreal, Canada.

Paper Submission:

Original papers in the area of wireless communications with applications in aerospace industry may be submitted in an extended summary format (2 pages, Font 12, double column, IEEE Format) with sufficient details to allow a critical review. The paper submission deadline is 5:00PM EDT, July 30, 2010. Papers shall be submitted using the EDAS paper submission system to one of the two "application end user" or "technology developer" categories. Topics of interest are as follows:
