this event.>  

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce that in order to accommodate late registration 
requests and particular circumstances of some attendees, registration for the 
Summer School 2013 on Cognitive Wireless Communications has been extended until 
the 5th July. It will not be possible to register after that date. The 
registration fee is 300 GBP, which includes 4.5 days worth of high quality 
lectures, printed proceedings, a bootable GNU Radio experimentation USB stick, 
lunches, breaks, attendance of the social event, and other content.

To register for the Summer School please go to this link:

********SUMMER SCHOOL UPDATE********

Please forward to colleagues, associates and other interested parties.

This is an update on the planning for the Summer School 2013 on Cognitive 
Wireless Communications, to be held at King's College London on the 8-12 July 
2013.

1.       The Summer School has opened up to the possibility for attendees to 
present a poster on their work on Cognitive Wireless Communications within the 
event. The posters that will be presented have been selected. We look forward 
to the additional interaction and benefit that will be provided through this 
dimension.

2.       You may have noticed that the Summer School has been extended to cover 
5 days, with an extra afternoon of content on the 8 July. Among other lectures 
aimed at "setting the scene" for the Summer School, this extra afternoon will 
include an additional GNU Radio training session by led Dr Tom Rondeau, the 
Project Manager of GNU Radio, in which bootable USBs memory sticks will be 
given (permanently) to attendees allowing attendees to emulate and experiment 
with software defined radio waveforms using GNU Radio under Linux. We 
anticipate that this training session and these bootable USB memory sticks will 
be extremely useful to attendees interested in emulation/experimentation with 
waveforms, and software defined radio in general. The excellent suggestion for 
this additional content comes from a modest, unnamed member of COST-TERRA...

3.       King's College London has offered a number of reduced-price 
accommodation options for attendees of the Summer School. Information on the 
booking procedure for this King's College London accommodation is available on 
the Summer School's website:

********SUMMER SCHOOL UPDATE********

We are delighted to announce the Summer School 2013 on Cognitive Wireless 
Communications, to be held at King's College London on the 8-12 July 2013. This 
is the third and last annual Summer School supported by COST Action IC0902 
(http://newyork.ing.uniroma1.it/IC0902), also supported by the ICT-ACROPOLIS 
Network of Excellence (http://www.ict-acropolis.eu) and COST Action IC0905 
"TERRA" (http://www.cost-terra.org).

This event aims to educate post-graduate and doctoral students, or 
mobile/wireless communications professionals, on Cognitive Wireless 
Communications and particularly decision making and decision implementation 
aspects of Cognitive Wireless Communications. World-renowned experts will 
lecture on topics covering decision making and policy considerations, 
regulatory and conformance constraints, and radio interfaces, coding and other 
implementation aspects supporting cognitive radio and spectrum coexistence. 
Moreover, given the intrinsic link of decision making with the precise 
objectives of the use of cognition in radio systems, this Summer School also 
delves into discussion of the applications/purposes of cognition and spectrum 
coexistence in wireless communication systems. Furthermore, it presents a 
number of interesting and interactive sessions on radio interface hardware 
implementation and experimentation using the latest software defined radios and 
associated platforms, including G
 NU Radio, Iris on USRPs, LabVIEW, and OpenAirInterface on ExpressMIMO2.
