 CALL FOR PAPERS
SRIF 2013 - Second Workshop of Software Radio Implementation Forum
Held in conjunction with ACM Sigcomm, Hong Kong
http://conferences.sigcomm.org/sigcomm/2013/srif.php
Paper registration/submission: March 10/17, 2013

The forum is intended for academic and industrial practitioners and 
researchers who develop software radio platforms and who implement 
innovative wireless systems on software radio platforms to (i) 
demonstrate feasibility; and (ii) identify new critical problems that 
demand research attention.

Although the idea of Software Defined Radio (SDR) was conceived 20 years 
ago, it remains today one of the most vigorous and growing research 
areas in wireless communications. On the one hand, the cost of radio 
components, chipset, and platforms with programmable features is now 
almost within reach of integration into consumer products. On the other 
hand, the very definition of Software Defined Radio has been 
significantly extended since its inception: from just reshaping of PHY 
waveforms to full reconfiguration of the whole protocol stack as well as 
virtualization of PHY/MAC/access functionalities. There has also been 
increased interest to explore ways to describe the radio behavior 
through application programming interfaces and languages independent of 
the underlying platform.

SRIF 2013 aims to bring together practitioners and researchers of 
software-defined radio in academia and industry to share the latest 
development, experiences, and insights, in this exciting area. Through 
the exchange, the workshop aims to encourage and engender lively 
collaborations between academia and industry. In particular, the 
workshop aims to (i) reach out to industrial participants to share their 
best practices; and (ii) expose the state-of-the-art wireless research 
based on SDR to industrial participants in order to seek feedback.

Toward that end, we invite participants from the industry and academia 
to submit papers, demonstrations, and posters in all areas related to 
software radio platforms and system prototypes on them.

Although this workshop has an emphasis on implementations, not all 
submissions need to have the systems realized. New ideas that challenge 
the existing SDR methodologies and paradigms are especially welcome.

The topics of interest include but are not limited to the following:

* New hardware and software architectures for software radio platforms
* New programming model of SDR
* New PHY and MAC primitives and abstractions
* Prototypes of novel wireless systems on SDR
* State-of-the-art performance of wireless systems on SDR
* New applications of SDR (e.g., security, localization, RFID, 
biomedical applications, etc.)
* Theory versus practice (e.g., comparison of what is achievable in 
theory and what has been achieved in practice)
* New ideas that challenge the existing practices
* WLAN and LTE cellular networks with SDR
* Prototypes on platforms other than SDR
