Abstract:
2010 International CANEUS Fly By Wireless Workshop is a unique opportunity for academics, industry leaders and small businesses with interest in Aerospace, Wireless, and Nanotechnology to partner with big players such
as Boeing, Lockheed, GE, NASA, Canadian and European Space agencies.
This workshop is sponsored by CANEUS, IEEE Region-1 (Northeast USA), IEEE Region-7 (Canada), IEEE Montreal Section, IEEE Maine Section, WiSe-Net Lab, NASA, MSGC and the following IEEE COMSOC Technical Committees: Ad Hoc & Sensor Networks, Communications Switching & Routing, Tactical Communications & Operations, and Wireless Communications Committees. Tech co-sponsorship by IEEE COMSOC, AES, and UFFC societies are pending approval.
2010 CANEUS Fly-by-Wireless Workshop will bring together leaders from aerospace industry, academia, and government agencies, to discuss recent advances in wireless communications focused on applications in aerospace industry. The workshop will be hosted by the University of Maine, Orono, Maine, USA, on August 24-27, 2010. The Workshop remains a unique forum for wireless technology providers and end-users to discuss aerospace roadmap for future research and development and form meaningful partnerships. New innovations such as battery-free wireless sensor systems, reliable multi-tier wireless networks, and high temperature sensors will be highlighted at the workshop. Ultimately, this effort will contribute to minimizing cables and connectors across the aerospace industry by providing more reliable and higher performance wireless alternatives at lower cost.
The 2010 CANEUS FWB Workshop, third of its kind, builds on the successes from the 1st Joint CANEUS/NASA 2007 “Fly-by-Wireless” Workshop, held in March 2007 at Grapevine, Texas and the 2nd CANEUS “Fly-by-Wireless” Workshop held in June 2009 at Montreal, Canada. The first CANEUS/NASA FBW workshop grew out of an identified need from the CANEUS 2006 Aerospace End-User Committee on SHM – Structural Health Monitoring held at Toulouse. Organizations from the Americas, Europe and Asia regions, attending CANEUS workshops, have taken concrete steps to continue development of their wireless programs and also establish successful collaborative projects, e.g. Wi-Testbed, Frequecy Spectrum, Wi-Engine, Wi-SHM, Wi-Sense, and others.
Paper Submission:
Optional Paper Submission (Not required for attendance). Original papers in the area of wireless communications with applications in aerospace industry may be submitted in an extended summary format (2 pages, Font 12, double column, IEEE Format) with sufficient details to allow a critical review. The paper submission deadline is 5:00PM EDT, July 30, 2010. Papers shall be submitted using the EDAS paper submission system to one of the two “application end user” or “technology developer” categories.
