Welcome to the 7th Opticwise MC/WG Meeting. This meeting will be organized in the beautiful Madeira Island in Portugal. It will be co-located with the 3rd International Workshop on Optical Wireless Communications 2014. Both events are held in parallel with Networks 2014 conference, for which your participation is also welcome. The foreseen program of these events is:
IWOW 2014 - a full day workshop joining together international cutting edged research results on optical wireless communications and related fields (more information can be found on the call for papers available online). The workshop will be held during September 17th, 2014, at Funchal Vidamar Resorts.
7th OPTICWISE MC/WG Meeting – a two days meeting joining action delegates. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss research results aligned with the action working group’s objectives (more information at http://opticwise.uop.gr/), to foster international cooperation venues, and to prepare future events. The meeting will be opened to participation to action delegates, IWOW 2014 participants and invited speakers. The meeting will be opened to participation to action delegates, IWOW 2014 participants and invited speakers. The meeting will be held during September 18-19th, 2014, at Funchal Vidamar Resorts.

If you are the author(s) of an accept paper and you require a VISA letter for travelling to Portugal, please send an email to the workshop chair (nero@ua.pt), with the following information:
The ever increasing demand for higher bandwidths motivated by current portable equipment is motivating new communication paradigms. The passage from 3G to 4G and current trends towards 5G, are advancing new technologies able to mitigate the spectrum crunch problem. It has been recognized that advanced network management and cognitive radio technologies may promote a better usage of the available bandwidth. However, with the tendency of the cells to become confined other technologies seem to offer better interconnectivity. This is the case of Optical Wireless Communication technologies, which are able to address efficiently high user density scenarios and offering wide spectrum availability. In particular Free Space Optical and Visible Light Communications systems are seen as promising technologies to integrate these future trends.
The International Workshop on Optical Wireless communication emerged as a specialized forum under the frame work of the IC1101 COST action (OPTICWISE). This year will be the third realization of this special event. Paper contributions on OWC are requested. The main topical lines of the event are:
Wednesday July 30th
Friday August 15th
Friday August 22nd
Prospective authors are invited to submit original technical papers for publication in the IWOW 2014 Workshop Proceedings and for presentation(s) in the workshop. During the initial paper submission process via EDAS, the authors are required to make sure the pdf file and EDAS registration page of a paper have the same list of authors and the same paper title, that is, please add all authors in EDAS during the submission process. Failure to comply with this rule might result in your paper being withdrawn from the review process. On the other hand, the author list of an accepted paper can NOT be changed in the final manuscript. All submissions should be written in English with a maximum paper length of five (5) printed pages (10-point font) including figures, without incurring additional page charges. Papers exceeding 5 pages will not be accepted at EDAS, nor reviewed at all.
This workshop will follow standard IEEE conference templates for Microsoft Word or LaTeX formats, both are found here or download them from the conference website below:
Submission of a paper implies the authors acknowledge the requirement of registration and attendance by at least one author at the conference. For an accepted paper to be included in the conference program and the IWOW 2014 Conference Proceedings, at least one of the authors is required to register by early/author registration deadline and attend the conference to present the work, and submit the IEEE copyright form on time. The IWOW 2014 Conference Proceedings will be published in hardcopy and electronically in IEEE Xplore®. IEEE reserves the right to exclude a paper from distribution after the conference (e.g., remove it from IEEE Xplore®) if the paper is not presented at the conference.
