IEEE Region 1 News - Fly By Wireless Workshop
IEEE/CANEUS Fly By Wireless Workshop
From IEEE Region 1 News:
The 2010 CANEUS Fly-by Wireless Workshop brought together leaders from aerospace industry, academia, and government agencies to discuss recent advances in wireless communications focused on applications in aerospace industry. The workshop was hosted by the University of Maine, Orono, Maine, USA from August 24 to 27, 2010.
CANEUS FBW Workshop remains a unique forum for wireless technology providers and end-users to discuss aerospace roadmap for future research and development and form meaningful partnerships. New innovations such as battery-free wireless sensor systems, reliable multi-tier wireless networks, and high temperature sensors will be highlighted at the workshop. Ultimately, this effort will contribute to minimizing cables and connectors across the aerospace industry by providing more reliable and higher performance wireless alternatives at lower cost.
The 2010 CANEUS Fly-by-Wireless Workshop, third of its kind, builds on the successes from the 1st Joint CANEUS/NASA 2007 “Fly-by-Wireless” Workshop, held in March 2007 at Grapevine, Texas and the 2nd CANEUS "Fly-by-Wireless" Workshop held in June 2009 at Montreal, Canada.
With over 60 attendees from 9 different countries, this conference hosted representatives from companies like Bombardier and Boeing, several universities to include McGill University, MIT, the University of Tokyo and government agencies such as NASA. From over 51 papers received, 10 were accepted and published in the conference proceedings and are available online at IEEE Xplore Digital Library.

A Novel, Time Saving Reading Central - The Best Readings on Power Line Communications
When conducting research on a specific new topic, do you sometime wish all the reading materials are in one place?
The recent launch of "Best Readings" is a new free service that ComSoc provides to the community, as a time saving tool and beyond.
The motivation for the Best Readings is to give the community a place to start a new field. ComSoc Technical Committee on Power Line Communications led by Lutz Lampe formed a team of experts from the field, and collected the best set of references.
Best Readings on Power Line Communications (PLC) is a collection of articles, papers, and book titles focusing exclusively on the Power Line Communications. The goal is to give interested readers a good set of references to start with, and it includes some commentary to further assist the readers.
Best Readings on Power Line Communications can be explored in following 5 different categories -
History. Data Base. Special Issues. Topics.
History. Readers can find history related reading materials of Power Line Communications all in the same section. Interactive titles such as: Distribution line carrier communications - an historical perspective, Power line communications: an overview, Power line communication, in Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Carrier-wave telephony over power lines - early history can quickly link to the online resource.
Data Base acts like a search engine for archive of publications on Power Line Communications published in IEEE journals and conferences since 1986, in Wiley, Elsevier, and Hindawi journals, and includes full text papers from other resources as well. The Data Base was created by the IEEE Communications Society Technical Committee on Power Line Communications in 2007. Besides the comprehensive repository of publications related to power line communications, it also contains the proceedings of the International Symposium on Power Line Communications and Its Applications (ISPLC) from 1997 to 2004, which are not available online anywhere else.
Special issues. Articles listed from publications that address Power Line Communications as special issues can be found here. Titles include: Power line local area networking, Broadband is power: internet access through the power line network, Special issue on power line communications, Special issue on advanced signal processing and computational intelligence techniques for power line communications.
Overview Books. Books on overviews of Power Line Communications are listed in this category, including Powerline Communications, Power Line Communications - Theory and Applications for Narrowband and Broadband Communications over Power Lines.
Topics. To dive deep into specific topics, readers can examine the numerous reference articles and publications in following areas:
Standards and Specifications, Channel Modeling, Coupling, Modulation & Coding, MAC.
Since the announcement of ComSoc's launch of the Best Readings a few days ago, the Best Reading website has received more than 1,300 visitors around the world.
The contributors for the Best Readings on Power Line Communications are: Francisco J.Cañete Corripio, Klaus Dostert, Hendrik C. Ferreira, Stefano Galli, P.A. Janse van Rensburg, Masaaki Katayama, Lutz Lampe, Haniph A. Latchman, Riccardo Raheli, Moises V. Ribeiro, Andrea Tonello, A.J. Han Vinck.
Papers and articles are to be updated every six months or so. Questions and comments can be submitted at http://www.comsoc.org/form/best-readings-power-line-communications. The Power Line Communications team contributors will respond to the readers.

Celebrating Earth Day 2011 with IEEE GreenCom
Earth Day is a day that is intended to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's natural environment. Earth Day is now coordinated globally by the Earth Day Network, and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year. In 2011 IEEE Communications Society, the leading worldwide professional organization dedicated to the advancement of communications technologies, will emphasize the ongoing need to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by hosting the first annual IEEE Online Conference on Green Communications (GreenCom) totally online from September 26 – 29, 2011. Dedicated to the latest advances in energy-efficient communications and green technologies, IEEE GreenCom’11 will enable attendees from around the world to engage in discussions on the newest networking, energy management and smart grid communications solutions without travel and from the comfort of their own home. Webcast to international attendees by IEEE ComSoc and then published at IEEE Xplore, IEEE GreenCom’11 was specifically designed to address global warming developments and its societal impact in an alternative, ecological conferencing model that reaches broader audiences, offers time-flexible participation and provides near-physical experiences in a powerful, virtual forum where “energy efficiency is discussed energy-efficiently.” Other distinct features include the ability of speakers to present research live and then answer audience questions with the aid of moderators.
