About the Workshop

This workshop will be a venue to brainstorm on and to identify the emerging concepts, technologies, and analytical tools for next generation communication networks and services. We aim to bring together leading researchers in both academia and industry, and to provide a forum for researchers from diverse backgrounds to share their views and to have an open dialogue on the future of this exciting research field. The goal is to identify key technology drivers that can deliver significant capacity, coverage, and user-experience benefits, thus providing new applications and services. The program will combine talks and open discussion slots.

The second day of the workshop will be dedicated to students and young researchers. They will present their ongoing projects and research results. In this way, the workshop will be a supportive forum where they can exchange their ideas and establish new collaborations.

The workshop is supported by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the University of Banja Luka, and co-organized by IEEE Bosnia and Herzegovina Section and IEEE Communication Society – Serbia and Montenegro Chapter.

This event is open to a broad community (academia, industry, government).

Registration for the event is free, but mandatory. The number of places in the hall is limited, so do not hesitate to sign up.

Official language of the workshop is English.
