Lucca, Italy
September 27 -30, 2021

The 22nd IEEE International Workshop on Signal Processing Advances in Wireless
Communications (SPAWC), will be held in Lucca, Tuscany, Italy, on September 27-30,
2021. A ﬂagship workshop of the IEEE SP Society SPCOM technical committee,
SPAWC 2021 will combine cutting edge research in the ﬁelds of signal processing,
communication theory, information theory, statistical learning, wireless networking
and more.

All invited and regular papers, with up to 5 pages of technical content
(including references), will be published through IEEE Xplore.
Structure of the Technical Program
The technical program will follow the successful style of SPAWC, with morning and
afternoon keynote talks, and poster sessions in between.
A Call-for-Special-Sessions on hot topics in the society will be published. In
addition to the keynotes, the program will feature several SPAWC Talks given by
leaders in both academia and industry. While each keynote will provide an
introduction and overview of a topic, in a style that suits all the attendees, the
SPAWC talks disseminate the latest developments in the same topic area as the
keynotes.

Tutorial and Special Session Proposals
Tutorials will be held on September 27, 2021. Brief tutorial proposals should
include title, outline, contact information, biography and selected publications for
the presenter(s), and a description of the tutorial and material to be distributed to
participants. Special session proposals should include title, rationale, session
outline, contact information, and a list of invited papers.

Student Paper Contest Guidelines
The committee will select approximately 10 papers for the Student Paper Contest.
Final selection of 3 winners will be made after the completion of Student Paper
Contest on September 27, 2021.

Data Competition
SPAWC 2021 will include a data competition to develop algorithms for a problem
related to signal processing and communication theory.
