Call For Papers - CFP

The University of Applied Sciences (HTW) Dresden is proud to announce the 8th Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communication 2012 (WPNC'11), which will take place in Dresden, Germany, April 07-08, 2011.

Scope

Accurate location and tracking information anywhere anytime is becoming as important as communication anywhere, anytime. Although mobile position-aware systems, combined with modern wireless technologies are entering our daily life, several problems in information and communication technology still need to be solved. The workshop is devoted to recent advances in positioning, navigation and communications, as well the current state-of-the-art in techniques and systems. In addition contributions from major R&D projects are included in the workshop, to provide an insight on modern localization technology in various applications.
