Panel Discussion on 5G+ Wireless .. Mark your calendar and come and see us! http://vetenskapsfestivalen.se/for-alla/program/event/19334

On behalf of IEEE IEEE Communications Society Montréal we are very appreciative for Prof. Martin Haenggi of University of Notre Dame visit to our beautiful province of Québec in Eastern Canada. He gave two outstanding seminars in Montréal and in Québec City respectively on Feb.18 & 19, 2016. The response of the attendees was quite positive for the presented materials on performance evaluation tools for upcoming 5G+ technologies. A special thanks to Concordia University, and Mr. Raphael Tana of Fonex Data Systems for running this seminar in Montréal; and to Prof. Paul Fortier of Université Laval for hosting the event in Québec City. We should also highlight the logistical support and coordination of Prof. Fabrice Labeau of McGill University and Dr. Anader Benyamin-Seeyar of SMi.

Henk Wymeersch captured the expressiveness of COOPNET on Feb.19.2016, especially that of Gloria Soatti and Gabriel Garcia (aka Gabbo) for my regular delay to these morning meetings. Notice how Robert Hult and Markus Fröhle are staying cool and in-control. As for Srikar Muppirisetty, after many years in Scandinavia, he's becoming quite a Swede, neutral and happy :) .... Sorry COOPNET, shaming me this way will not work, I will most likely keep on being late, as I am a night person :) ............ Wait a minute, this is strange, I don't see Themis & Nil in the photo (Hamed is off the hook as he's travelling)?!?!

Following work on Wednesday Feb.17.2016, a number of Chalmers University of Technology ComSys group went to the movies at SF Bio (Filmstaden Bergakungen) to watch Deadpool Movie; ... after all Ryan Reynolds is Canadian, albeit from Vancouver :) ... Many thanks to our Boss Prof. Erik G. Ström for the tickets, to Sven Jacobsson for putting this event together, and to Themis Charalambous for the pictures!!!! ...... With: Rahul Devassy, Christian Häger, Henk Wymeersch, Jóhanna, Arni Alfredsson, Sven Jacobsson, Themis Charalambous, Keerthi Nagalapur, Srikar Muppirisetty and Johan Östman .... (I hope I did not miss anyone!)

Dinner on Feb.13.2016 at Henk's residence. It was a great events with friends and colleagues. On top of being one the world authority on Communications/Positioning..., he is an incredible chef!! Don't believe me, look at the pics :) ... With Dr. Nil Garcia and his lovely wife Xiee, Dr. Hamed Farhadi and his lovely wife Maryam, Dr. Themistoklis Charalambous, and our host and boss Prof. Henk Wymeersch.

Will participate in a panel discussion on 5G, in collaboration and participation of researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Volvo, Volvo Trucks and Ericsson. We will also demonstrate various experimental activities in telecommunications and Signal Processing. All this will occur between Apr. 15-19, 2016 in Sweden for "The International Science Festival in Gothenburg" Vetenskapsfestivalen Göteborg, which is Europe's leading popular science event (with 70,000 visitors).

Very happy to announce that a key pioneer of Stochastic Geometry and IEEE Fellow, Prof. Martin Haenggi (U. Notre Dame), will visit Eastern Canada (Montreal & Quebec City) as an IEEE Communications Society Distinguished Speaker. The Seminar Title is: “Stochastic Geometry for 5G Cellular Network Modeling and Analysis”. The Montreal event will be on Thursday.Feb.18.2016 at 6pm, Concordia University, EV building, room: EV002.184. FREE Admission. Refreshments will be available. You don’t want to miss it!!! Seats are limited, reserve your spot here: https://meetings.vtools.ieee.org/m/37577

The Communication Systems Group (ComSys) of the Signals and Systems (S2) Dept. of Chalmers University of Technology had a fun team building exercise during a 2 day workshop and retreat. It was actually fun :)

Congrats to Prof. Ke Wu on this award!

Le Pr Ke Wu est honoré par le chapitre montréalais de l’IEEE Le chapitre montréalais de l’organisation IEEE a décerné sa médaille du Mérite 2015 au professeur Ke Wu de Polytechnique Montréal.

The committee of Chalmers University of Technology Communication Systems (ComSys) group did a great job in organizing an informative workshop on Oct.26-27, 2015 in Särö/Sweden. A gamut of topics were discussed, including: enhancement of creative thinking, identifying great research problems, best practices in disseminating novel results, and current trends in next generation telecommunication systems.
