research2standards 2012 - IEEE ICC 2012 Workshop on Telecommunications: from Research to Standards

With every intention to bridge the gap between researchers, scientists, and telecommunications standards experts in both academia and industry, we are happy to announce the organization of the first edition of the IEEE ICC 2012 Workshop on Telecommunications: from Research to Standards <http://www.research2standards.net/>. The workshop CFP is available online <http://www.research2standards.net/RtoS.pdf>.
By this Email, I would like to invite you to submit your potential research work with standards impact to the workshop. Submitted papers must have a clear description of their standards impact and the way their research is relevant from a standards perspective. Papers describing enhancements to existing systems and communication protocols developed by standards bodies such as the ITU-T, IEEE, IETF, 3GPP, TISPAN, ETSI, OMA, Broadband Forum, or others, will be given the highest priority. Visionary papers on hot topics and work in progress being currently discussed within the above-mentioned standardization bodies are also welcome. These submissions should provide guidelines on what has been done in the area, and what is yet to be investigated or where the work fills an important gap.
Acceptance of submissions to the workshop will be assessed by people involved actively in standards bodies. Simulation results and/or analytical performances are not the sole and main criteria for accepting a submission. Impact on standards will be seriously taken into account.
We will also highly appreciate it if you consider advertising for the workshop amongst your friends and colleagues in companies, standardization bodies and academia.
Looking forward your submissions to the first IEEE workshop on
telecommunications: from research to standards.
Kind regards,
