European Wireless 2012 Poznań, April 18 - 20 Call for Papers The 18th European Wireless Conference (EW 2012) will take place in Poznań, Poland, from 18-20 April 2012 and will be hosted by Poznań University of Technology (www.put.poznan.pl) with the cooperation of Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Electrical Engineering. Poznań, a commercial, industrial, cultural and scientific center of western Poland, is conveniently located halfway between the cities of Warsaw and Berlin. Poznań University of Technology is amongst the best technical universities in the country. The 2012 edition is aimed at addressing a key theme on “Cooperative Communications”. Cooperative algorithms in the physical and higher layers help in approaching theoretical performance limits of wireless systems. Acceptance of submitted papers will be based on quality, relevance and originality. Proposals for special sessions and tutorials are also invited. Proceedings of EW 2012 will be available on CD and will be published in IEEEXplore.
