Program

The format of the workshop will be similar to the previous editions of the workshop, featuring several Keynote speeches from industry and academia, and a Panel. As during the last editions, the accepted peer-reviewed papers will be presented as posters, this year on digital displays in so-called Interactive Sessions. Each paper will also be introduced by the authors in a short pitch talk before the corresponding Interactive Session.

This format has been very successful in catalyzing vivid discussions and networking (with more than 120 participants during the 5^th edition at Globecom 2016 in Washington DC).

Main workshop website: www.et5gb.com, there you will find all information. You can also download presentations from all previous editions of the workshop, under the History tab.
