Hi everyone,

I wanted to pass out information on the 2015 SRIF (Software Radio  
Implementation Forum) workshop that we’re hosting as part of this year’s  
ACM Mobicom conference in Paris. There is a lot of great work going on  
in  
SDR right now, and I know a lot is happening in Europe, so this is a  
fantastic opportunity for people in this area to get together to talk  
about  
software radio. I’m the technical co-chair of the workshop this year, so  
I  
really hope to see a lot of GNU Radio papers submitted.

This should be a great venue for discussions on interesting problems in  
SDR  
implementation. We are starting to see a huge amount of interest in 5G,  
IoT, millimeter wave, and virtualization and therefore how software  
radio  
can play a role in these areas. Though that list is full of buzzwords,  
it  
still represents some significant challenges that we are looking at as a  
community.

And though I can’t guarantee this right now, I am pushing for an open  
access policy on papers submitted to SRIF, and I will be promoting the  
sharing of data, code, and papers to try and enhance the level of  
interaction and the evolution of our field.
