3rd International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications - MACOM
13-14 September 2010, Barcelona, Spain 753K9s2c8@1M7q4)9K6b7g2)9J5c8W2)9J5c8Y4N6%4N6#2)9J5k6h3y4K6K9i4c8Q4x3X3c8K6M7r3u0Q4x3X3g2J5N6g2)9J5c8X3#2S2j5$3!0E0x3U0l9I4x3q4)9J5k6h3S2@1L8h3H3`.

Claude Shannon established the foundation for the discipline now known as "multi-user information theory" in his pioneering paper "Two-way Communication Channels" in 1961 and later Norman Abramson published his paper "The Aloha System - Another Alternative for Computer Communications" in 1970 which introduced the concept of multiple access using a shared common channel. Thereafter for more than 40 years of study, numerous elegant theories and algorithms have been developed for multiple access techniques.
The aim of this workshop is to discuss both multi-user communications theory and multiple access techniques and standardization activities in areas related to PHY and MAC layer protocols for contemporary networks and their interactions. We intend to provide the experts from both the academic institutes and industry with an opportunity to present their state-of-the-art results and exchange the ideas on multiple access techniques and related areas:
* PHY-layer multiple access techniques: CDMA, OFDMA, etc.
* Link-layer MAC access protocols: duty-cycle, scheduled, random access, polling-based, etc.
* PHY/MAC cross-layer techniques;
* Multi-user information theory: broadcast, multi-access and (multiple) relay channel.
* Queuing theory, modeling and analysis techniques: stochastic models, Markov models, new simulation models and tools.
The MACOM 2010 event has special interest to address the new paradigms and theoretical foundations for future wireless communication systems. Those topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Wireless Multi-hop networks: sensor and actuator, mesh, vehicular networks, etc.
*Important Dates*
* Submission deadline: 01 March 2010 (through EDAS - 379K9s2c8@1M7q4)9K6b7g2)9J5c8W2)9J5c8X3g2V1j5i4y4Q4x3X3g2A6L8X3k6G2i4K6t1&6
* Notification of acceptance: 01 April 2010
* Camera-ready manuscript: 01 May 2010
* Workshop: 13-14 September 2010
*Venue*
MACOM 2010 will take place in the burgeoning 22@ innovation district in Barcelona. Its centric location, combined with the high density of universities, research institutes and technology- oriented companies, makes this the ideal spot for the event. The neighborhood has nice promenades and beaches to relax after technical sessions and it is also one of the main clubbing areas in the city. Address: Roc Boronat 138, 08018 Barcelona.
*Publication / Proceedings*
Papers accepted for oral presentation will be included in the workshop proceedings to be published in the Springer LNCS series.
A journal special issue is also being considered for the MACOM 2010's best papers.
To be published in Springer LNCS.
