[Fwd: CMOS RF Circuits for Wireless Applications]

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: CMOS RF Circuits for Wireless Applications Datum: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 08:09:07 +0200 Von: EURASIP JWCN Alert <wcn(a)hindawi.info> An: <gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> >>> EURASIP Journal on Wireless Communications and Networking Special Issue on CMOS RF Circuits for Wireless Applications Call for Papers Advanced concepts for wireless communications present a vision of technology that is embedded in our surroundings and practically invisible, but present whenever required. From established radio techniques like GSM, 802.11, or Bluetooth to more emerging ones like ultra-wideband (UWB) or smart dust moats, a common denominator for future progress is underlying CMOS technology. Although the use of deep-submicron CMOS processes allows for an unprecedented degree of scaling in digital circuitry, it complicates implementation and integration of traditional RF circuits. The explosive growth of standard cellular radios and radically different new wireless applications makes it imperative to find architectural and circuit solutions to these design problems. Two key issues for future silicon-based systems are scale of integration and ultra-low power dissipation. The concept of combining digital, memory, mixed-signal, and RF circuitry on one chip in the form of System-on-Chip (SoC) has been around for a while. However, the difficulty of integrating heterogeneous circuit design styles and processes onto one substrate still remains. Therefore, System-in-Package (SiP) concept seems to be gaining more acceptance. While it is true that heterogeneous circuits and architectures originally developed for their native technologies cannot be effectively integrated �as is� into a deep-submicron CMOS process, one might ask the question whether those functions can be ported into more CMOS-friendly architectures to reap all the benefits of the digital design and flow. It is not predestined that RF wireless frequency synthesizers be always charge-pump-based PLLs with VCOs, RF transmit upconverters be I/Q modulators, receivers use only Gilbert cell or passive continuous-time mixers. Performance of modern CMOS transistors is nowadays good enough for multi-GHz RF applications. Low power has always been important for wireless communications. With new developments in wireless sensor networks and wireless systems for medical applications, the power dissipation is becoming a number one issue. Wireless sensor network systems are being applied in critical applications in commerce, healthcare, and security. These systems have unique characteristics and face many implementation challenges. The requirement for long operating life for a wireless sensor node under limited energy supply imposes the most severe design constraints. This calls for innovative design methodologies at the circuit and system level to address this rigorous requirement. Wireless systems for medical applications hold a number of advantages over wired alternatives, including the ease of use, reduced risk of infection, reduced risk of failure, reduced patient discomfort, enhanced mobility, and lower cost. Typically, applications demand expertise in multiple disciplines, varying from analog sensors to digital processing cores, suggesting opportunities for extensive hardware integration. The special issue will address the state of the art in CMOS design in the context of wireless communication for 3G/4G cellular telephony, wireless sensor networks, and wireless medical applications. Topics of interest include (but are not limited to): o Hardware aspects of wireless networks o Wireless CMOS circuits for healthcare and telemedicine o Modulation schemes for low-power RF transmission o RF transceiver architectures (low IF, direct conversion, super-regenerative) o RF signal processing o Phase-locked loops (PLLs) o Digitally controlled oscillators o LNAs, mixers, charge pumps, and VCOs in CMOS o System-on-Chip (SoC) and System-in-Package (SiP) implementations o RF design implementation challenges in deep-submicron CMOS processes Authors should follow the EURASIP JWCN manuscript format described at the journal site http://www.hindawi.info/wcn/ Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JWCN's manuscript tracking system at journal's web site, according to the following timetable.

[Fwd: Tracking in Video Sequences of Crowded Scenes]
by Gustaf Neumann 03 May '05

03 May '05

-------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Tracking in Video Sequences of Crowded Scenes Datum: Thu, 28 Apr 2005 23:46:09 +0200 Von: EURASIP JASP Alert <asp(a)alert.hindawi.com> An: <gustaf.neumann(a)wu-wien.ac.at> >>> EURASIP Journal on Applied Signal Processing Special Issue on Tracking in Video Sequences of Crowded Scenes Call for Papers Object tracking in live video is an enabling technology that is in strong demand by large application sectors, such as video surveillance for security and behavior analysis, traffic monitoring, sports analysis for enhanced TV broadcasting and coaching, and human body tracking for human-computer interaction and movie special effects. Many techniques and systems have been developed and demonstrated for tracking objects in video sequences. The specific goal of this special issue is to provide a status report regarding the state of the art in object tracking in crowded scenes based on the video stream(s) of one or more cameras. The objects can be people, animals, cars, and so forth. The cameras can be fixed or moving. Moving cameras may pan, tilt, and zoom in ways that may or may not be communicated to the tracking system. All papers submitted must address at least the following two issues: o Processing of live video feeds For many applications in surveillance/security and TV sports broadcasting, the results of processing have value only if they can be provided to the end user within an application-defined delay. The submitted papers should present algorithms that are plausibly applicable to such incremental (�causal�) processing of live video feeds, given suitable hardware. o Handling of crowded scenes Crowded-scene situations range from relatively simple (e.g., players on a planar field in a soccer match) to very difficult (e.g., crowds on stairs in an airport or a train station). The central difficulties in crowded scenes arise from the constantly changing occlusions of any number of objects by any number of other objects. Occlusions can be resolved to some degree using a single video stream. However, many situations of occlusion are more readily resolved by the simultaneous use of several cameras separated by wide baselines. In addition to resolving ambiguities, multiple cameras also ease the exploitation of 3D structure, which can be important for trajectory estimation or event detection. Topics of interest include principles and evaluation of relevant end-to-end systems or important components thereof, including (but not limited to): o Handling of occlusions in the image plane in single-camera scenarios o Handling of occlusions in a world coordinate system (3D, possibly degenerated to 2D) in single- or multicamera scenarios o Fusion of information from multiple cameras and construction of integrated spatiotemporal models of dynamic scenes o 3D trajectory estimation o Tracking of multiple rigid, articulated, or nonrigid objects o Automatic recovery of camera pose from track data o Detection and recognition of events involving multiple objects (e.g., offside in soccer) Authors should follow the EURASIP JASP manuscript format described at the journal site http://alert.hindawi.com/journals/asp/ Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the EURASIP JASP's manuscript tracking system at journal's web site, according to the following timetable.
