FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Washington, DC, 11 October 2017 – The Wireless Innovation Forum, a non-profit international industry association dedicated to diving the future of radio communications and systems worldwide, has announced the program for its Conference on Communications Technologies and Software Defined Radio (WInnComm 2017), including a full day workshop on the DARPAs spectrum collaboration challenge (SC2). Registration for the event is open and available at http://conference.wirelessinnovation.org.
The DARPA SC2 program workshop will be held Wednesday, 15 November. Kicked off by a keynote by DARPA’s Paul Tilghman providing an overview of the SC2 program, this workshop will feature speakers discussing:
- Colosseum, infrastructure and beyond SC2 use
- Transitioning from concept to reality
- Heterogeneous AI learning & the spectrum
- Collaboration
As the only event devoted to advancing innovation in spectrum access and radio technologies from research through deployment, WInnComm is the premier venue to network with and learn from the leading innovators in the advanced wireless market to gain a functional knowledge of relevant emerging opportunities and technologies. The event features two days of keynotes, technical papers, workshops, a product showcase and more at the Qualcomm Institute at UC San Diego in Atkinson Hall, 15-16 November.
This year's keynotes include:
- Neville Meijers, vice president of business development for Qualcomm Technologies Inc.
- Paul Tilghman, Microsystems Technology Office (MTO) Program Manager, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)
- Michael P. Wellman, Professor of Computer Science & Engineering at the University of Michigan
- Captain Robert Croxson, MIDS Program Manager, US Navy
Technical Sessions will include: Antenna, RF, IF and ADC Technologies; Spectrum Sharing Platforms; Heterogeneous; Systems Programing I and II; Cognitive Radio I and II; SDR and Baseband Technologies; Quality, Reliability and Security; Advanced Signal Processing; Dynamic Spectrum Testing and Validation; SDR and Cognitive Systems; and Dynamic Spectrum Interference Mitigation and Management.
Thursday tutorials include:
- Using SCA Tools to Develop Applications and Platforms (Nordiasoft)
