IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE TWENTY-FIFTH IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTERS AND COMMUNICATIONS

The application of Machine Learning techniques and more specifically of Deep Learning techniques to Wireless Communication research problems holds a great potential. Recent developments show that some problems in wireless systems can be dealt with effectively by using data driven approaches.
Machine learning methods, and, more specifically, a set of recently developed techniques, known as Deep Learning bear the potential of advancing the intelligence of radio devices, providing data-driven flexible solutions, without relying heavily on expert knowledge. Among the problems that the Machine Learning can target are signal denoising, protocol detection, and classification; further applications might include device or user profiling and classification, source counting. In general, spectrum management can greatly benefit from the adoption of intelligent techniques that support the coexistence of heterogeneous radio access technologies.
This workshop aims at gathering experts of Machine Learning and of Wireless Communication to foster innovation and cross-seeding in this promising interdisciplinary area of research.

SUBMISSION

Authors are invited to submit full papers written in English, with a paper length up to six (6) printed pages for regular papers, or up to four (4) printed pages for short papers, including figures, tables & references in IEEE double-column format (IEEE standard conference templates). Submissions should contain original material and not be previously published, nor currently submitted for consideration elsewhere. All papers will be reviewed for scientific quality by the technical Program Committee.

All paper submissions must be done through EasyChair using the following link.
https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ieeeiscc2020
and choosing the track MLWCOM

Papers must adopt the IEEE double column proceedings (US Letter page) format.

Manuscript templates for IEEE conference proceedings can be found at the following link
https://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html

Paper submission implies the willingness of at least one author to register, at the regular rate (non-student), and present the paper. The Workshop Proceedings will be part of the ISCC 2020 Proceedings, they will be indexed SI, dblp and Scopus and and will be submitted for inclusion in IEEE Xplore Digital Library.
We plan a journal special issue for which we will invite the best papers.
