Article & Paper
Now for the self aggrandizement part of polyscifi...
A while back, I mentioned that I was writing an article for the EE Times. Well it finally got published and can be read online for free here. The article is on the future of wireless and looks at the growth of wifi/wimax and the development of software/cognitive radio. It's not very technical and includes a few excessively cute phrases so it should be fine for the nontechnical audience.
If you read it, you'll notice the dateline is November 1 and today is December 2. Turns out that the good people at EE Times never got around to telling me when they were publishing the article (which is why I hadn't brought it up again before today). This week, I found out it had been published when a colleague from work congratulated me on its publication.
Then at the SDR Forum Conference I traveled to a couple weeks ago, a paper of mine from the 2002 conference was named "Best Paper" or "Outstanding Paper" or something like that. That probably sounds confusing and needs a little explanation. First, the Forum decided this year that they wanted to start recognizing important papers for the previous year's conference. Since this was the third conference, they had to play catch up with the first two and announced the 2002 awards this year. As to the confusion over the actual award, I chaired a session on cognitive radio that ran over (for me in particular as I had to tear down some equipment and field some questions on this year's paper). Because it ran over, I missed the actual award announcement. My advisor told me of the award and said it was for "Best Paper" from 2002, but the certificate I received only says "Outstanding Paper."
Anyways, if you would like to read my "award winning" paper, it's available for download here (pdf). It's a little more technical in nature, but should still be quite approachable for the nontechnical reader.
And if you care to see some of what I do for a living (along with this other blogger), a whole bunch of papers, tutorials, presentations and what not are available at this site.
Update
This NYT article relates to a factoid in my EE Times article. Verizon is challenging Pennsylvania's plan to roll out a government funded state-wide wireless network. Looks like a compromise will be reached where industry gets the first shot at rolling out a network. Perhaps industry will play a bigger role than what was presaged by Philadelphia's actions. And that should be a good thing.
