Location and Time

The IWSSC '07 will take place on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th September 2007, at the Paris-Lodron University of Salzburg, Austria. The half-day Tutorial Sessions will already be on September 12th, 2007.

Objective

The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for researchers and technologists to present new ideas and contributions in the form of technical papers, panel discussions and tutorials of ideas in the field of satellite communications. It is intended to bring together various satellite communication systems developers to discuss the current status, technical challenges, standards, fundamental issues, and future services and applications.

IWSSC 2007 seeks to address and capture highly innovative and state of the art research from the satellite communications industry. The scope of the workshop includes a wide range of technical challenges in view of the growing interest for satellite access to Internet, multi-media and broadband access to satellite communication systems, the evolution of future satellite communications with access across hybrid platforms, the definition of a cross-layer design for improving the efficiency and the performance of the air interface.

Topics of interest

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

Standards Status (e.g., ITU, ETSI)
Hybrid Satellite and Terrestrial Networks
Navigation Services
Reliable Multicast Protocols
Transport Protocol Performance over Satellite
IP over Satellite
