The Global Wireless Summit (GWS)
October 15 – 18, 2017
Cape Town, South Africa
The Global Wireless Summit (GWS, http://gwsummit2017.org) is a premier annual conference series, technically sponsored by the IEEE South Africa Session Joint Chapter on Communications and Signal Processing. It covers the latest advances in wireless communication technologies and enjoys a worldwide participation rate of about 400 leading experts.
The Global Wireless Summit Organizing Committee invites proposals for one-day or half-day workshops affiliated with the conference. The purpose of these workshops is to provide a platform for presenting novel ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than at the conference itself. All GWS 2017 workshops are expected to enable stimulating discussions of state-of-the-art, emerging, visionary, and perhaps controversial topics. Workshops should be organized to promote such lively interaction.
Workshop Proposals are solicited in all areas and topics pertaining to wireless networking and virtualized communication. Workshops addressing emerging research directions in these areas are highly welcome.
All papers included in the GWS 2017 Workshops will be submitted to the IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
We expect all selected workshops to adhere to a common paper submission and reviewing schedule as outlined in the dates indicated below.
Each workshop proposal must include:
– The name of the workshop.
– The names, addresses, and a short bio of the organizers (up to 200 words) of the organizers (up to three, from at least two different institutions).
– A brief description (up to 1 page) of the technical issues that the workshop will address, the likely topics of interest that will be included in the workshop CFP, and the reasons why the workshop is of interest at this time. Some consideration on the communities/groups it intends to attract should be included.
– The names of potential program committee members.
– The planned format of the workshop, including a strategy to facilitate lively discussions and the involvement of the attendees.
– The names of the potential keynote speakers, if a keynote speech is included in the planned format of the workshop.
– If applicable, a description of past versions of the workshop, including dates, organizers, number of submitted and accepted papers, number of attendees.
– If the workshop does not have any past editions, an estimate of the expected number of submitted and accepted papers, and of the expected number of attendees.
– A tentative call for papers.
– A description of the plans for publicity and the workshop web site.
Workshop proposals (in PDF format, as a single paper) should be submitted, no later than May 30, 2017 to EDAS at
