NEWCOM++ News
Joint Workshop on Wireless Communication on 1-2 March 2011 - Paris, France
The Second N++ Best Paper Award went to:
Cedric Herzet, Kampol Woradit, Henk Wymeersch, and Luc Vandendorpe (CNRS, Chalmers, UCL): Code-aided Maximum-likelihood Ambiguity Resolution Through Free-energy Minimization, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, December 2010
The Second N++ Young Researcher Best Paper Award went to:
Nicola Baldo, Alfred Asterjadhi and Michele Zorzi (CTTC and CNIT):
Dynamic Spectrum Access Using a Network Coded Cognitive Control Channel, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, August 2010
The N++ Distinguished Achievement Award went to:
Professors Petros Elia (Eurecom) and Joakim Jalden (KTH, Stockolm, previously with University of Vienna) with the following motivation:
"In a series of recent NEWCOM++ publications, Petros and Joakim settled a series of open problems including the well-known and long lasting open problem of establishing meaningful fundamental performance-complexity limits in general MIMO, cooperative and multi-user outage-limited communications."
News from the Executive Board
As already most of you know, Prof. Andreas Polydoros (IASA) left in March the NEWCOM++ Executive Board.
We all thank him for his precious contribution in terms of ideas and support given to the NoE. In the meantime we are glad to introduce Prof. Hanna Bogucka (PUT), who, according to the General Assembly decision, is restoring the EB.
Congratulations Hanna!
Many thanks to Jossy Sayir for being the first to inform us about the 2010 IEEE Information Theory Paper Award presented to Erdal Arikan, our NEWCOM++ colleague and friend, from Bilkent University.
Erdal
is a member of NEWCOM++ (and previously of NEWCOM) and is currently
leading the WPR.4 - Iterative Receivers for Wireless Communications. All
NEWCOM++ researchers are joining the N++ Executive and Scientific
Boards in congratulating Erdal for this award!

NEWCOM++ is the acronym of a proposed Network of Excellence in Wireless COMmunications, submitted to Call 1 of the VII Framework Program under the Objective ICT-2007.1.1: The Network of the Future, mainly in its target direction “Ubiquitous network infrastructure and architectures”. After the successful completion of its first phase over the period of March 2004 - February 2007, the European Network of Excellence in Wireless Communications (NEWCOM) was reconducted by the European Commission within the framework of FP7 for a second phase of 3 years starting in January 2008. The second phase of this network, known as NEWCOM++, gathers researchers from 17 major European institutions (universities, private and public R&D organizations).
