6th Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communication 2009 (WPNC'09)

The Institute of Communications Engineering, University of Hannover, is proud to announce the 6th Workshop on Positioning, Navigation and Communication 2009 (WPNC'09), which will take place at the Leibniz University of Hannover, Germany, March 19, 2009.

Scope

Mobile position-aware systems, combined with modern wireless technologies, are getting more and more important. When developing systems of this kind, problems in various fields of information and communication technology need to be solved. The workshop shall give an overview of state-of-the-art approaches and systems. As many technologies are available to deal with the variety of applications, we would like to continue to cover ultra-wideband technology as it is becoming of great importance in the area of positioning, navigation and communication. Moreover a track on the EUWB project is included in the workshop, to provide an insight on UWB-Localization technology in industrial applications.
