The workshop is dedicated to Software Defined Radio (SDR), to present the actual status of the principle and to define the trends associated to SDR in the industry worldwide.

Theoretical issues are addressed by academic speakers, while design and applications are addressed by speakers from industry. Telecommunication, automotive and network management applications, among others, are presented.

Speakers are from both the US and Europe, to ensure that the presented vision of future SDR systems will be a worldwide one.
