Reunion Panel for the Birth of Cognitive Radio

Since the birth of cognitive radio in the pioneer article by Joe Mitola III, in IEEE Personal Communications Magazine, 1999, cognitive radio has been considered as one of the most promising technologies to resolve spectrum efficiency for future wireless communications. This special panel invites original guest editors for the special issue in 1999, most active researchers in the area, and surely Joe's message. The tentative list of the panelists is:
 
H.V. Poor (Princeton University, guest editor, IEEE Personal Communications,1999)
Ramjee Prasad (Aalborg University, guest editor, IEEE Personal Communications, 1999)
K.C. Chen (National Taiwan University, guest editor, IEEE Personal Communications, 1999)
Ying-Chang Liang, (I2R, Singapore)
Hiroshi Harada (NiCT, Japan)

The Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications Symposium (WPMC'12) will be held in Taipei, Taiwan. The WPMC symposia series were inaugurated in 1998, as a global platform which aims at enabling collaboration in the field of wireless information and multimedia communications. Held in Asia, Europe and America, WPMC has established itself as a unique global conference dedicated to wireless multimedia convergence. Continuing the series, the 15th International Symposium on Wireless Personal Multimedia Communications will be held for the first time in Taiwan. The theme of this year’s symposium is “Autonomous Communication and Networking for Promoting Human Living”. In addition to high-quality technical sessions, the symposium will feature workshop and tutorials.
