ISRSSP 2014 - Fourth International Symposium on Radio Systems and Space Plasma

ISRSSP - the International Symposium on Radio Systems and Space Plasma, is a leading international discussion and knowledge dissemination forum that brings together Researchers and Practitioners interested in Radio Systems and Space Plasma. In 2014, ISRSSP will be held in Ruse, Bulgaria, following previous three events in Sofia, Bulgaria, in 2007, 2010, and 2013.
The symposium is organized by the international institute IICREST in cooperation with AUTH - Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and AMAKOTA Ltd.
ISRSSP 2014 is organized under the auspices of URSI.
Goals and Topics
Providing a specialized forum to researchers and practitioners interested in radio systems and space plasma, ISRSSP'14 welcomes not only foundational contributions but also more application-oriented ones. Hence, the symposium areas are organized in two tracks, namely Foundations Track and Applications Track. Particular areas of interest within each of the mentioned tracks, are: FOUNDATIONS TRACK: (i) Radio Communication Systems and Signal Processing; (ii) Satellite Space Observations; (iii) Trans-Ionospheric Propagation; (iv) Space Plasma, Waves, and Particles; (v) Solar Power Satellite (SPS) Systems. APPLICATIONS TRACK: (vi) Radio Communication and Space Applications; (vii) SPS and Power Transmission. Hence, we welcome paper submissions from but not limited to the following areas and topics:
1. RADIO COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS AND SIGNAL PROCESSING
Information Theory, Coding, Modulation, and Detection
Signal Processing (in the area of Mathematical Synthesis and Analysis Optimal Processing Algorithms)
Signal Processing and Neural Networks
Signal Processing and Optical Communications
Spectrum and Medium Utilization, including Cognitive and Cooperative Techniques
