September 2020: IEEE Radar Conference
It is our great pleasure to announce the forthcoming 2020 IEEE Radar Conference that will take place in Florence from 21 September to 25 September 2020. It was at places only few kilometers away from the conference location that our scientist and engineer forefathers Galileo Galilei and Leonardo da Vinci, respectively, made their groundbreaking discoveries. We are excited to organize the conference for the second time ever in Italy, after the successful edition in Rome in 2008, and in those places where Renaissance opened paths to the birth of modern science, and a new consideration of the role of mankind altogether. This is particularly true in these days that witness an important growth of the many fields of application of radar techniques, in addition to the traditional ones. We do hope many of you will join us in Florence to attend this event. - Fulvio Gini and Maria Greco
April 2020: IEEE Radar Conference
In 2020, the IEEE International Radar Conference returns to Washington DC, an area rich in radar history. Almost 100 years ago,
Albert Taylor and Leo Young observed that ships in the Potomac River interfered with their communications signals. They proposed that this phenomenon be used to detect ships, and a few years later, demonstrated the detection of aircraft. Please join us to meet and share the latest advances in radar across an expanding range of applications and be inspired by the creativity of those following in Taylor and Young’s footsteps. The Washington DC area is steeped in both history and innovation and possesses world-class cultural attractions and an efficient public transport system.

The (Indian) Summer School on Spectrum Aggregation and Sharing for 5G Networks (SSSAS5G) will take place at Eurecom (Campus SophiaTech in Sophia Antipolis, France) from 17 to 19 October 2016.
Spectrum is the key resource for all wireless communications. This workshop will bring together experts from the field of Spectrum Aggregation and Sharing to give an overview of the state-of-the art, to disseminate their latest developments, and to discuss the future of these two technologies and in particular their potential impact on the coming 5G systems.
This workshop is supported and organized by the 3 most important EU-funded projects (ADEL and SOLDER from FP7 and SPEED-5G from H2020) currently working on different aspects of spectrum management, aggregation and sharing technologies.

RFI 2016: 17-20 October 2016
From 17 to 20 October 2016, the Macey Centre, New Mexico Tech in Socorro, New Mexico, will be hosting RFI 2016 – Coexisting with Radio Frequency Interference.
Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) has become a critical issue for many users of the electromagnetic spectrum. This is especially true for observational sciences such as radio astronomy, microwave remote sensing of the Earth, and Solar and ionospheric studies where highly sensitive receivers are necessary.
Following the previous workshops held in Bonn (Germany, 2001), Penticton (Canada, 2004) and Groningen (The Netherlands, 2010), RFI 2016 aims to bring together researchers, engineers and users from all radio science disciplines to consider the impact RFI represents to their respective fields, to develop mitigation strategies, and to foster cooperation and collaboration. Attention will also be given to the impact of new and future sources of RFI, spectrum management aspects, and new technology developments.
Important dates:
- 01 Jun 2016: Submission of papers
- 01 Aug 2016: Notification of paper acceptance
- 15 Sep 2016: Author registration

Phased Array 2016: 18-21 October 2016
From 18 to 21 October 2016, the Westin Hotel in Waltham-Boston, Massachussetts, will be hosting the 2016 IEEE International Symposium on Phased Array Systems and Technology (Phased Array 2016).
Phased array systems continue to be a rapidly evolving technology with steady advances motivated by the challenges presented to modern military and commercial applications. This symposium will present the most recent advances in phased array technology and provide a unique opportunity for members of the international community to interact with colleagues in the field of Phased Array Systems and Technology.
The symposium will be held at the Westin Hotel in Waltham Massachusetts on Boston’s famous Route 128 Technology Highway. It will include keynote and plenary sessions, parallel technical sessions, poster sessions, tutorials, and a student paper contest. Social events will include a welcome reception with dinner and an awards banquet. Plenary speakers are:
- William Delaney (MIT Lincoln Laboratory): “From Vision to Reality: 50+ Years of Phased Array Development”
- Gordon Frazer (DSTO Australia): “MIMO – OTH Radar”
- Israel Lupta (IAI ELTA, Israel): “History and Progress of Phased Array Developments at ELTA/IAI“
- Joseph Haimerl (Lockheed Martin): “Space Fence”
- Tony Fischetti (Northrop Grumman Corporation): “The Evolution of Airborne Fighter Phased Array Radars“
- Troy Olsson (DARPA): “Arrays at Commercial Timescale Program“

ICASSP 2017: 05-09 March 2017
From 05 to 09 March 2017, the 42nd International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing (ICASSP 2017) will be held in the Hilton Conference Centre in New Orleans, USA.
The theme of the ICASSP 2017 is “The Internet of Signals”, which is the real technology and world behind the Internet of Things. The conference will feature international speakers, tutorials, exhibits, lectures and poster sessions from around the world, and will cover a very broad range of topics (see website).
The forum will provide an opportunity for MSc/PhD students in the fields of electronics, circuits, and embedded systems to present their thesis/dissertation research (completed in the last year), including work in progress within the topics of interest for ICASSP 2017. To encourage interaction among the MSc/PhD students and researchers from academia, industry, and government, the forum will be organized as a poster session. A two-page paper on the thesis work will appear in the conference proceedings.
